Guests say
The Retreat in Warwickshire receives high praise for its tranquil location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the attentive hosts and the property's proximity to local attractions. While most reviews are glowing, a few note minor issues with maintenance and location accuracy. The property's thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs, add to the charm, although these are not guaranteed.
Cleanliness
The majority of guests report that The Retreat is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with only a single review mentioning issues with mould and a need for a deeper clean. The overwhelming consensus, however, is one of a spotless and inviting environment.
Location
The property is celebrated for its peaceful setting and proximity to local sites, though some guests felt the distance to the local pub and village was understated. The location is generally seen as ideal for exploring Warwickshire's attractions.
Comfort
Guests consistently describe The Retreat as cosy, comfortable, and well-furnished, with comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. The presence of a woodburning stove and outdoor seating areas contribute to the overall comfort.
Facilities
Facilities at The Retreat are generally well-received, with praise for the fully equipped kitchen and secure garden. However, some guests noted issues with maintenance such as a non-working dryer and the need for minor repairs, leading to a slightly lower score.
Thoughtfulness
Many guests mention the thoughtful welcome packs provided by the hosts, which include a variety of food items and other comforts. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras are a courtesy and may not be a standard offering for every stay.
About this property
A pretty detached cottage situated near the village of Barford, in Warwick. This ground floor accommodation is perfect for a romantic break, or even families looking for a pleasant getaway. Enter into the open plan sitting area, which holds unique features, and a bunch of character. Sit before the wood burning stove for a cosy night in. A well equipped kitchen is situated behind the sitting area for your convenience, and a dining table rests nearby, ideal for enjoying your favorite meals. Rest at the breakfast bar in the morning hours. Moving round, a double bedroom is a peaceful environment to sleep, elevated by a velux window and views out of the French doors. A king-size bedroom offers extra space, while boasting pretty lighting, and an open outlook of the neighbouring fields. To the side, a beautifully decorated wet room is classically arranged, so you can get ready in style. Outside is where you will want to be, relaxing on the patio area. The village of Barford is sure to impress, and in March 2014 it was listed by "The Sunday Times" as one of the Top ten places to live in The Midlands. Home to traditional buildings, a village shop and ; this pleasant location makes for a great holiday any time of year.
