For Families

Honeybee Retreat Reviews

The property was beautiful, cleanliness was spot on, really cozy, loved our stay. lovely friendly dog who visited us every day. Hot tub was great but maybe a wooden frame with top on to stop the leaves falling in the tub and some fairy lights around the area of the hot tub in the trees, just to make it more romantic, but we loved it

Nicola
Beautiful accommodation, very well equipped with the little added touches a bonus. This really was a wonderful short break we thoroughly enjoyed. There was everything we needed, if we needed something we only had to ask. Would definitely recommend, and well worth a return visit.
Richard
This place is simply stunning. We turned up in the dark and the place lights up as you walk down the steps. We didn't get the full beauty of it till morning. We had a beautiful lemon drizzle homemade cake waiting for us and homemade mince pies. They have thought of everything you need. It is a working farm with cows chickens sheep but it was beautifully kept. We will definitely return. 100 recommend.
The most beautiful little cabin. I had the most amazing weekend away for my birthday. Super cosy had everything we needed. Hot tub was amazing the overall place was just incredible. The owners are lovely. Would 10000 recommend to anyone looking for a chill weekend away!
