Honeybee Retreat Reviews

Lovely, quiet place to stay. We really enjoyed our week here. The chocolate brownies and milk on arrival was a nice touch and the brownies were delicious! The accommodation had mostly everything we needed. A little bit more storage space would be handy and also a cover for the sky light as early sun rises meant early rising! Another thing to consider would be a welcome pack with maybe some useful information on local facilities shopping, hospital and also some ideas of where to visit. Otherwise a really lovely property, very clean and the hot tub was great, the peaceful surroundings were just what we needed. Thanks.

An amazing place run by amazing people. Nice to see scones and cake on arrival and delicious they were too. Cabin was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed. Great fun being met by the free range turkey's each morning along with the two farm dogs Tilley and Polly. Highly recommend.

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

Lesley

What an amazing place. We loved it. We will definitely book to come again

We absolutely loved our stay at honeybee retreat. It was a perfect set up and worked well for us with a baby! Our first family holiday!

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.
