we stayed at the retreat for 2 nights and our first night was lovely. on coming in i was slightly sceptical of the place as it looked a bit of a mish mash of things everywhere but i saw that this was just the charm of the place. Jude the owner is a lovely welcoming lady who cant do enough... More

From phoning the hotel to confirm the room through to checking out, the service was very personal and friendly. When we asked about local places to eat we were recommended a few options and when we asked to book a taxi, Jude (one of the owners) kindly offered to give us a lift in. The room was lovely, clean and... More

We stayed at The Retreat for two nights and it was a really lovely weekend. There was a warm welcome from Jude on our arrival and were directed to Room 7. The room was a really good size and a nice sized separate bathroom too. The room had a four poster bed and lots of old pictures and different shapes... More

Just back from staying at The Retreat Castle - what a truly special place. The rooms were gorgeous (loved the angels!) and spotlessly clean. Had everything you could need. The owners were very friendly and attentive. What more could you ask for? Wished we had been able to stay longer.

If you are bored of staying in clinical, boring hotels with no character then this is the place for you.

Got a great deal on this place for b&b on Easter weekend. We heard about this place from a friend who recommended we stay there and we were certainly not disappointed. This place is really special. You must go experience it! On arrival we got upgraded to a very big and beautiful room with a four poster bed. We were... More

Having worked in the service industry for the past seven years, I find it easy to get jaded and pick holes when I visit a hotel. Well, this place is a true labour of love, and I can't compliment it highly enough. Jude (the owner) is charming, and really takes pride in making every effort to please her guests. We... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights this week during a business trip and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed! If going back in time is your thing, cleanliness and first class service is at the top of your list, then look no further! My room (2) was spacious, exceptionally clean, well equipped with TV and the usual... More
