We absolutely loved our stay here at the retreat . We would love to return !Sally was so welcoming and kind and the location was so good for us for dog walks and also getting about exploring the new forest.My little dog was a bit yappy but Sally never made me feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, it was like it’s named a retreat !We enjoyed sitting out every day and into the late night watching and hearing all the wildlife around . The bats and owls and daytime birds too ! Sally feeds the birds from a little tree out the front which is lovely , we enjoyed watching them from the verandah and she allowed me to leave a few shallow cat littler trays which I bought filled up with water as it’s been so dry lately and hot . She even went out herself a purchased a bird bath if you love rustic and surrounding wildlife you will love it here . Can’t wait to come back someday maybe .
