    Instructions for arrival were crystal clear, property was beautifully presented and beyond already high expectations. Had everything you could possibly need. Hosts were perfect as well. Location is ideal for exploring too, would love to come back for a longer stay to take more advantage of this. Highly recommend.

  • "We enjoyed our stay in Grace’s retreat."

    The bed was comfortable and the living area was nice and well it with the patio doors letting the light in. The kitchen area was a bit quirky with the main part being made of hewn wood. Nice large to on the wall with sky apps available. The only reason for giving it a 4* rating was the fact that the patio area is shared, so when the owners go out and open the gates which are remote controlled (our dog wanted to follow) in that time the dog was not secure. Also when the gates are opened from outside for the cars to enter there’s no noise to give you chance to bring dog in . As our dog is still only a young rescue that we haven’t had long we were always on edge . Just sad it wasn’t a totally secure area for him to lay outside . Having said all that I would still recommend this property,but mention these points

    Hi thanks for feedback it's truly appreciated hopefully we can support your comments by changing info on Sykes site ,so it fully explains about patio area not being suitable for young dogs or any dogs who are less responsive to recall .thanks Property Owner

  • "Lovely accommodation great location."

    Very friendly hosts, Nice welcome pack on arrival. Secure area for the dogs ( be aware that the gates are opened remotely if the owners bring their car in.) Not a problem with my dogs as they don't tend to stray. Nice walk into the village and surrounding areas

    Hi thank you for helpful comments ,I agree the yard and gates set up into the yard/patio isn't ideal for everyone , especially if young or untrained dogs.our property shares the yard with Grace's ,and something we will change on our advertising info with Sykes, again really helpful because it allows us to make tweets & Changes so guests can make an informed choice on what's best for them and their dog .

  • "Graces Retreat is a lovely cottage extension of the owners home."

    It has everything a couple would want. A large combined kitchen, diner, and living room with plenty of space. A good sized bedroom with a king size bed and a bathroom with a great shower. The property is very dog friendly, and our 3 pooches felt really at home. Dog water bowls and a pet matt resided in one corner of the living room. Treats and extra dog poo bags were left out. A generous set of extras were supplied. Eggs, bread, milk, butter, scones, jams and a bottle of wine. The property is in a good location with a few dog friendly pubs in the village and the next closest village just down the road. Secure parking is supplied for one car, which is situated in an enclosed yard, behind automatic gates. Overall, this is a great place to stay. Can highly recommend it.

    Hi thank you so much for the lovely comments, it's lovely to hear we are getting it right for those who choose to stay with us at Grace's and it truly helps us to keep making Grace's as welcome and restful as possible. And it allows us to instantly help or change something that might not be quite right, Definitely helpful to get it as close to what people might need so their stay is stress free Thank you .

  • "An absolute gem of a place."

    Situation is wonderful for peace and quiet and yet a short walk only from a couple of nice pubs. Grace’s retreat is light and airy but incredibly warm. The welcome crate is the best we have known. The owners are delightful. I don’t think this could have been bettered. So pleased we found it. Thankyou.

    Thank you so much for your kind words , we hope you return and again,it’s lovely to have your feedback, so we keep doing it right and other people also can have an enjoyable stay. Thanks Anji & John Property Owner
