Guests consistently praise Owls Retreat for its cleanliness, comfort, and welcoming atmosphere. The property is appreciated for its quiet location, cosy interiors, and the thoughtful touches like welcome hampers. The presence of friendly hosts and pets adds to the charm. While most experiences are positive, a few guests suggest minor improvements in facilities and maintenance.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'lovely & clean' and 'sparkling clean'. Only one mention of dirty cutlery slightly impacts the otherwise excellent feedback.
The location is frequently described as quiet and peaceful, with easy access to local attractions and beaches. However, one guest noted the lack of a secure area for dogs, which suggests room for improvement.
Guests find the property comfortable, mentioning 'comfy beds' and a 'cosy' atmosphere. There are a few comments about the quilts being too thick and sofas needing more padded cushions, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and additional amenities like a games room. Some guests, however, feel that the kitchen and bathrooms could be updated, and there are comments about heating issues and hot water availability.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently commended, especially the welcome hampers that many guests mention as a delightful surprise. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are a gracious gesture and may not be a standard offering for every stay.

Spacious and clean accommodation. Beds very comfortable but sofas could do with more padded cushions. A bit muddy for walking but would be great location once the ground has dried up. Owners were friendly without being intrusive and we loved being greeted by the sheep dog. Thank you

Comfortable, clean and very welcoming. The welcome basket is a perfect start to any break. The hosts Jane and David are excellent. They are on hand should there be a problem. The extra bonus of having the horses on site was perfect and the surrounding fields ext. were great for walking the dog. I would recommend visitors to stay there. A truly peaceful place to stay. Hopefully, we will do it all again next year.

The owners are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. On arrival you receive a little welcome hamper this is a lovely touch. Itâs great for the kids to run around and Jane their freedom with a games room and swings. We will see you next year.
