Before applying for a residency at Church Cottage please refer to our Purposes and Policy page which explains our criteria for appointing residents. Then download our form and complete it.
Most of our residencies are for one or two months and not less than two weeks. Church Cottage is ideal for single occupancy but we occasionally host same gender couples. Pets are welcome.
The deadline for applications scheduled for spring of 2026 has passed. Please watch this space and our social media for the announcement of the next application deadline.
For all enquiries, pleases email our Chair, Carole Manship, at hoskinghousestrust@gmail.com
Financial support
While Church Cottage costs are fully covered and occupancy is free, further occasional help depends on our financial circumstances. We have previously given personal bursaries, but this depends upon funding achieved which is currently less reliable than formerly.
