A perfect Re TREAT

Pros: Such a beautiful little property hidden away. A short walk from sea views.

Cons: Nothing we didn’t like about it at all. It could do with a bit more of a powerful shower and a wipe down of the walls.

We had a lovely stay in The Retreat and are looking forward to returning soon.

Pros: The Retreat was in a good location, only a short walk to the High Street and the seafront. It was very clean and decorated tastefully. There were tea and coffee facilities. Communication with the owner was very prompt and helpful.

Cons: There was nothing we didn’t like about the property. If it is possible a mini fridge would be a good addition.

Lovely and perfect stay!

Pros: Very clean and cosy. Felt private and secluded even though it is by the main house. Host was responsive, friendly and helpful. Also loved the little story about the history of the house and family - very sweet!

Cons: There was nothing I didn’t like

good value for money

Pros: Good communication from the owners who were friendly and helpful. The Retreat was warm with a low light on as we arrived making it feel welcoming. The bed was comfortable and the area was quiet.
