    pantry concept
    beautiful grounds
    tasty meals
    slow service

    Had an awesome time with friends! The spa was a highlight, and the pantry concept is a fantastic touch. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and tasty meals at both the Asian restaurant and the cozy pub nearby.

    We did have some frustration with the slow service during breakfast, which made our mornings a bit rushed. It was a busy time, so perhaps more staff could help alleviate that.

    Heated outdoor pool access, spa services including unique treatments, charming decor and ambiance

    Such poor service during busy dining hours!!! Noise disturbances from nearby events can ruin any relaxation you seek.

    georgian architecture
    elegant decor
    accessible grounds
    personalized assistance
    front desk

    The Retreat's elegant Georgian architecture and tasteful decor made me feel like I was in a delightful Jane Austen novel. The grounds are wonderfully accessible, allowing me to wander and enjoy the beautiful gardens without any hassle.

    More personalized assistance at reception would be helpful.

    friendly staff
    outdoor pool

    Family friendly oasis in the country

    Had a beautiful day relaxing by the outdoor pool, sun shining and drinks being served poolside. The staff were friendly and filled a request for non-alcoholic drinks for my daughter, she appreciated that a lot.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but you get what you pay for, I guess.

    A Relaxing Getaway with Pleasant Surprises

    During my stay, I adored the delicious breakfast buffet, especially the variety of pastries. The friendly staff made check-in a breeze, but I did encounter some service hiccups at the lounge. Opt for higher-floor rooms for added privacy. a lovely experience!
