No need to pay to stroll on Cockers Walk for the same views which is crowded. Rooms are cozy and staff very helpful. Dining is good but one needs to place ones order 30 minutes in advance or enjoy a beer while one waits. ##### Sanjeev Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying at Villa Retreat was excellent.
