My wife and I absolutely loved everything about the retreat! Prefect, quite setting. Jamie was a great host. Day trips from the retreat to St. Andrews, etc. were wonderful and restaurants in the area excellent - especially Corrie Inn and Delivino. We HIGHLY recommend the retreat!
Jamie and Lisa are lovely hosts and prepared the place with so much love and details and even cold welcome treats - thanks a lot! The place itself is great, the view gorgeous and it has lots of kitchen equipment. We really enjoyed our vacation.
This is our 4th trip to The Retreat and we have had another excellent stay at this wonderful property. The cottage is immaculate and well stocked with everything you could need for your stay. The kids loved playing in the garden and the hot tub. The hosts are welcoming and communication with them was easy and straightforward. Can't wait to return!
Second time we’ve stayed at the Retreat and another great stay. The house is fantastic, clean and very well equipped. The garden and hot tub are brilliant.
Lisa is a great host and communication with her is very easy and straightforward.
Couldn’t recommend The Retreat highly enough
The Retreat cottage is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our family reunion there. Its beautifully decorated, spacious, lovely views & close to an amazing farm shop, restaurants & great day outings. Evening hot tub a definite bonus.
Would highly recommend. Our host, Lisa, was great - very attentive & had excellent recommendations for local sights & things to do. We'll book again.
Jamie was there to greet us and he was fantastic he made us feel so welcome.He showed us round and how things worked explained how the hot tub worked. House was stunning the veiws were stunning very peaceful. Jamie kept in touch and was most helpful
Beautifully furnished cottage with stunning views. So relaxing and the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with friends and family. Hot tub set in lovely completely private gardens that are well kept.
The hosts are very hospitable and friendly, adding lots of small touches which makes The Retreat so special.
Our party was made up of myself and three older children aged 16 to 19 and we all thought it was the nicest place we've stayed in.
We spent Christmas at the Retreat and had an amazing time. Jamie was a very gracious host and the house itself lacked nothing. We would definitely stay again.
The lodge is picture perfect and hosts are very helpful & welcome pack was very kind. Views are stunning. Hot tub is good fun. Can take about 3 hours to get hot enough with the fire but so worth it. Plenty of logs for hot tub & fire. Would definitely recommend a visit.
One of the most relaxing weekend getaways we’ve had in a long time… great location with close proximity to hiking and restaurants. Will be coming back to stay again.
Beautiful area with fantastic views.The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Jamie, the property manager was exceptionally helpful and friendly and a pleasure to meet and spend some time with.We loved our time at the cottage and will return when possible.
We had a lovely time at The Retreat! The views were brilliant, the hot tub was a great addition! Perfect location for a relaxed getaway, couldn’t ask for anything better.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Lisa and Jamie’s beautiful cottage.
The property is incredibly well equipped, beautifully furnished and the views are stunning. The property was really clean and beds incredibly comfy!
Lisa was a fantastic host and the check in and out process was seamless
