The Retreat was just perfect. It was very clean and tastefully decorated, very good quality sheets and towels. Booking was pretty easy and the host/property management were very accommodating. I would stay here again and would recommend it to everyone.

Charming cottage

This little cottage was perfect for us. We enjoyed the many little touches, such as coffee and ice! The location was great, right across the street from a gastropub and a free transportation hub! We enjoyed both!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
The property was listed as a 3 bedroom. When i got there, it was really a 2 bedroom and a sofabed. I had extended an invitation to another couple to join us, which unfortunately they could not. Since we had planned for a three bedroom, our guests would have been inconvenienced. That was the only negative.
