I wish I could have stayed longer.

The location was truly idillic, and so beautiful overlooking the estuary.

A sieve or colander would be helpful. The fob to open the gates at the bottom of the drive is on the golf buggy key ring. Do check that it works before Tricia goes out.

Tricia is very welcoming. The golf buggy is hilarious. The bed is comfy. The view is amazing, sitting in the hot tub watching the sun rise over the estuary and in the evening the lights twinkling on the water and the toy trains going past the harbour. The garden sculptures and folly made us giggle.

That I could not stay longer. The steepness of the road - not the fault of the property!!!!!!

There is a golf cart to enable you to take you luggage up to the accommodation. Lots of yummy treat had been left, plus basics like tea/coffee/milk/eggs/washing up liquid/kitchen linens/books and games It was an utter joy!!

There is nothing not to like to be honest.

Tricia is a great host and can't do enough for you. Provided eggs, milk, breakfast cereal and even a Devon cream tea. The hot tub is a plus with a great view and great place to watch the birds and wildlife. This property is a jewel.

It was a private self contained unit with all that I needed plus milk, eggs etc. Tricia was a wonderful kind and caring host who picked me up from Exeter because of the rail strike and took me to the Starcross Ferry when I left

Perfect two day getaway. The view from the hot tub was amazing! We spent our nights playing the board games available to us. Supermarket was a short drive away so we could stock up on nibbles and wine. Very relaxing stay. We will definitely return in the future.

I struggled a bit with the clips on the cover of the hot tub, because I have arthritic fingers, but I am pretty sure that Tricia would have helped if I had asked - I managed before I got to that point.

Tricia, the owner, was in touch beforehand to ensure that everything was smooth when I arrived, and it was. I was so thrilled with the view from the Retreat that I just stood and looked. The cabin was spotless and very well supplied - even the quiz magazine had a pen and pencil. There was a welcome cream tea with a note on heating the scones - and a very generous helping of clotted cream, not like some cream teas! The bedroom was compact but comfortable with good cupboard space, and well equipped with an excellent hairdryer, fan, dehumidifier, heater, iron - and a digital radio. Despite it bring October, the weather was mild enough for me to use the hot tub, which was a perfect temperature and perfect for enjoying the river view. Tricia has also supplied a golf buggy to travel up and down the slope to the Retreat, which was a first for me, but fun and efficient.
