Guestbook for The Retreat
"just a note to let you know we all had a really lovely time at your 'Retreat'. It was lovely and quiet, but near enough to everything for days out too, definitely the best of both worlds. The decor was lovely and neutral and the house felt very spacious and light due to the vaulted ceiling in the living room. Many thanks again, I'll definitely be in touch to book again for next year"
“Lovely clean bungalow, with everything to hand. Great having pub nearby with good thai food and outside garden. Would definitely recommend it”
“We had a super holiday and the bungalow was terrific, no negatives at all. Great to have a local shop for all those emergency supplies, shop Keeper was really friendly too. Thanks for the information pack outlining things to do, we certainly used it. We wont hesitate to recommend you to friends and family who are planning a trip to Christchurch or the surrounding areas.”
