The Retreat Reviews

Heather
A most memorable and happy week end that easily and comfortably accommodated our 8 adult, 6 children family. Beth and Dave could not have been more welcoming for our special birthday celebratory stay the birthday bubbly, and the welcome pack was much appreciated. So much fun also for the younger members in the games room, feeding the pigs, and the hot tub was a particular hit for adults and children. The accommodation could not be bettered, tastefully furnished with ample and quality kitchen ware. Many happy memories were certainly made during our stay, we will certainly return to this idyllic place.
Lovely place, well thought and well organized.
Zainab
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The place was awesomebeautifully kept, full of unique pieces and furniture that gave it so much character. The view was simply fantastic, and everything about our visit was superb. All the families, including the kids, truly enjoyed themselves, and warm hospitality made our time there even more special. Well definitely be coming back to visit! Thank you again for everything. It was an unforgettable experience! Zainab Qazi
The Retreat a Is just beautiful. Not only do all the bedrooms have en suite facilities, they are very spacious and decorated beautifully. The grounds surrounding the house are stunning, including views across the lake. We loved the cwtch where we sat outside many times to enjoy a BBQ or to listen to Millicent and Maude, the resident pigs! The accommodation was amazing and so were the owners! The whole family were so friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and David even went above and beyond when he took the tyre off one of our cars following a puncture! Would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property, and should we be venturing out this way again, would love to pay another visit. Thank you, Beth, David, Lydia and Ted for such an enjoyable holiday!
We have just returned from the most incredible weekend at The Retreat at Glanrannell Park House and we cant stop talking about how wonderful it was! Three families 6 adults and 6 children from ages 3 to 12 stayed together and from start to finish it was absolutely fabulous. The children and adults! had endless fun on the pond with the rowing boat and paddleboards it was such a unique highlight and created so many happy memories. The woodfired hot tub, tucked away in its beautiful and peaceful setting, was another favourite the perfect place to relax and unwind while soaking up the surroundings. Our host, Beth was welcoming from the moment we arrived, and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. One evening she lit the firepit for us and surprised the children with a bag of giant marshmallows and extra long sticks so they could toast them over the flames a lovely touch that made the experience truly magical for them and us!. The house itself is stunning, spacious, and perfectly set up for groups. The kitchen has everything you need and a fabulous big dining table. We also enjoyed a BBQ and catching up outside in the relaxing, private 'cwtch' area with the outdoor heater. Weve all said the same thing it was one of the best weekends we've had, and were already planning when we can come back.
Victoria
This newly renovated property was perfect. The indoor decor was a mix of modern and traditional and done with real flair and attention to detail. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality utensils and cookware to enable a feast to be made. The dining table was feast worthy. The outside areas were stunning terraced lawns with peacocks, a lake, a hot tub and games room with ping pong and darts. Plenty of parking. It was a really great place to escape to with friends. David, Beth and Ted were fantastic hosts and I wish them all the best with this venture.
