Robbie's Retreat was fantastic! We loved being secluded, away from people and in the peace of the countryside. The sheep outside our window provided much entertainment each morning! The location meant we could visit all sorts of places as it was pretty central to most things. Very comfortable to relax in during the evening, and the recommendations Read moreof places to eat were spot on. We were warmly welcomed and provided for, and would highly recommend Robbie's Retreat!

I loved staying at Robbie's Retreat and felt very much at home there. Everything was perfectly clean, and the kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything that one needs. It was lovely to be watched by the sheep through the window when doing the washing-up! The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the welcome pack was great - the scones inRead more particular! I was able to unwind, and also enjoyed the beautiful area around the farm. I can only recommend this place and I'm sure to come again! Hide

A wonderfully relaxing break. All amenities and comfort in a little house! Warm, efficient and immaculate accommodation. Friendly yet unobtrusive owners and a quiet farmland and open countryside area for rambling or sightseeing. And the cakes made on the farm are fabulous. Can't wait to go back.

This is a most delightful place. We enjoyed staying here very much. We were able to find our way around quite easily We did miss not being within walking distance of local shop or pub for instance. We welcomed the scones and biscuits which tasted great.
