A beautiful place to stay, surrounded by fields with a lovely garden - look out for the red kites and owls! Spotlessly clean, fully equipped and very comfortable, with the added benefit of a really warm welcome from host Penny. Highly recommended.

This was our third stay at Henry's Retreat. It is a more relaxing place to say; true, shops are a little bit distant and there are no cafés or restaurants, but this is no great problem. Penny is a wonderful host and she was very helpful following a power cut, despite having challenges of her own to deal with. The friendliness and care shown here are second to none and in over fifty stays in the UK, Henry's Retreat still comes out top!!
