Snaptrip says
The Retreat in Somerset is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, welcoming touches, and the added luxury of a hot tub. Guests have enjoyed the comfortable bed and the property's proximity to local attractions. While some have noted traffic noise and a need for minor improvements, the overall experience is one of relaxation and satisfaction.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property being spotless and very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and the town, although several reviews mention traffic noise, which suggests the location is not entirely peaceful.
The bed is frequently described as big and comfy, and the hot tub adds to the comfort. However, some guests found the sofa uncomfortable and the fridge too small, which slightly detracts from the overall comfort.
Facilities like the hot tub are highly praised, but there are several mentions of minor issues such as a lack of instructions for appliances, a non-working electric fire, and suggestions for additional hooks and shelves.
Guests have noted and appreciated welcome packs and touches like lemon drizzle cake. However, as these gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, they are a delightful bonus rather than a standard offering.

The second we stepped foot inside the property, it felt like a mini home for the weekend straight away. There was absolutely nothing to fault and we knew if there was a problem/issue/question, our liaison was always a text/call away and someone would be out to deal with this within in a short space of time. The comfort of the bed was amazing, pull out sofas were relaxing and the hot tub was very enjoyable. We would very much so go again, 10/10 recommend to anyone for a relaxing time away with your other half. :)

The Retreat was perfect for the two of us. Enjoyed use of the hot tub and surrounding areas. Had a slight issue with the fridge, sometimes seemed to be working fine and other times not as cold as it should be, ice box was not freezing properly. Would highly recommend. Nice welcome pack of milk, cookies, coffee pods & apple juice.
