Great facilities and lovely walks available. Will be back in summer for sure :) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Toby 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My balcony room was overlooking the car park and got no sun which was disappointing. Outdoor pool is really lovely and good number of sunloungers to enjoy the sun. Spa was incredible, I don’t use them often but the massage was sensational. Breakfast kept running out of food and dinner seems a touch overpriced. Restaurant staff do their best and are lovely but are essentially untrained sixth formers. Nice place but wouldn’t rush back. ##### Toby Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katy 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Katy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoffrey 30 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lovely hotel, beautiful location Lovely luxury country hotel in a beautiful location. ##### Geoffrey Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 5 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely surroundings - very peaceful & relaxing Staff went above & beyond to make sure our stay was superb ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KEISHA 18 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved my stay.

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! ##### ROBERT Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Francesca 4 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff are fantastic and so friendly, making the stay really comfortable. However, the outdoor pool was quite dirty, including the loungers and the pool surfaces with bird poo and staining on the tiles. Also our room did not have air conditioning and it was extremely hot and uncomfortable to sleep the first night. After this we had fans on which the hotel supplied. We had a lovely stay despite the small issues. ##### Francesca Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Theodora 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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 ##### Theodora Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn 4 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely facilities - spa a very welcoming area to relax in Great food Staff amazing - nothing was too much trouble, readily accommodated all our requests (including swapping my Mum's room to ground floor).

We were woken up by barking dogs in one of the rooms in the middle of the night - the staff were quick to sort the issue once we phoned reception, but the room was quite noisy. ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candice 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The team was great and the service was wonderful.
