My husband and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary and it was the perfect place for it. Everything was great! The bed was comfortable, the bath huge, the views, not mention the music playing when we arrived, rose petals, the great dinner pack, chocolates, breakfast hamper, wine etc the list goes on. (Still wearing the slippers) Not one little thing... More

We stayed for 3 nights recently and loved every second of it. There has been nothing missed and the attention to detail is outstanding. From the moment you arrive it is perfect, the candles burning, the music in the background, the aroma of burning oil, the chocolates, the wine....... the list goes on. The retreat itself is absolutely beautiful and... More

Somewhere Unique does not dissapoint. This was our second visit - often when you revisit a place it does not live up to your memories. This is not the case for Somewhere Unique.

Our second visit to Somewhere Unique & it was as perfect and memorable as the first. This is a very special place to stay. The owners obviously value their guests and have created an oasis of calm. It is the only place I've ever stayed where I can truly relax and leave feeling rejuvenated. No detail has been forgotten
