Lovely birthday stay

We enjoyed our stay, we loved that there was a pantry with drinks and snacks in, and the staff were so friendly from reception to breakfast the next morning. The pool area was good, and we'd come back again.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a fantastic stay at The Retreat! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a place where every little detail is thoughtfully considered to ensure an exceptional guest experience. The facilities are truly faultless — from the beautifully designed rooms to the immaculate communal spaces. The spa was absolutely top-notch, offering a relaxing and luxurious experience that left us feeling completely rejuvenated. A special mention must go to Leanne in the spa, whose exemplary customer service made our visit even more memorable. The heated outdoor pool was a real treat, such a unique and relaxing touch. Breakfast was amazing, with a wide variety of high-quality options that catered to all tastes. Every bite reflected the same attention to detail seen throughout the rest of the hotel. The staff, without exception, were warm, professional, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their dedication and friendliness truly set The Retreat apart. Highly recommend, and we’ll absolutely be back for another visit soon.

Lauren, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Terrible room. Noisy and small. Apparently we shouldn't have booked the Classic room. Based on our experience I'd advise others to think twice before doing so. Most staff excellent but Reception staff could do with a Customer Care course!

Beautiful relaxing Country House with rambling gardens. Superb food and hospitality. Beautiful bedroom but too hot! Tried opening windows but noise from ventilation units outside too i intrusive! Needed more hanging space Loved the Pantry!
Sharon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The pros: The spa is a bit small but nice, the decor is fun, great cocktails, good food, our room was quiet, the tennis court was fun The cons: The beds were hard, the vegan breakfast options limited, difficult to get a booking at the restaurants or spa without booking well in advance and the whole place feels a bit big and not boutiquey
