Reviews

We had a really lively 2 week break staying at the Retreat (couple with 2 teenager daughters staying in August). An amazing location, flat had excellent view, absolutely loved the outside pool and grounds. Peaceful but also warm encounters with the residents and a beautiful part of the country. A real treat, thank you!
