The Retre Reviews

Julia Sherwood Poole
7th July 2025
Had a wonderful visit with great hosts. The Retreat was well equipped with everything you needed even the hot tub. The beds very comfortable and en-suite bathrooms, showers excellent.Lovely welcome pack.The space of the enclosed garden was ideal for the dog as he could play and run around to his hearts content. The walks were great too and saw deer, birds, rabbits and pheasants.What would be nice is to have somewhere to purchase the basics like milk, bread etc as no local shop in the village.Very much value for money compared to Centre Parcs and Forest Holidays.
