Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sharon r. 28 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Retreat Beautiful area, so tranquil. Property was lovely and very comfortable. Felt so relaxed and enjoyed sitting in the lounge in the evenings, just looking outside through the double doors, so peaceful. The only 2 things I would mention is that the pool could do with just a little TLC, mainly on the floor and the freezer to have some attention to the seal. Our preference, but saying that it certainly wouldn’t put us off staying again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fe3f043-2f27-490d-8e8f-579f436dac2a-1751106596052.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/db129d16-8951-47ee-a51e-f143e4c1abc2-1751106579399.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### sharon r.
