+ There was plenty on the menu for the bed and breakfast rate, although it did run out rather quick if you weren't there early. The food in the restaurant was insanely good, I had Cod one evening and Chicken the other, both amazing. Nice chilled vibe with people walking around in robes and relaxing on the sunbeds.

+ Cabin was very Nicely decorated,snd great for a one Night stay.
− Sofa wasnt comfortable, very well used.Also allowing Dogs in restaurant .Staff member picked up a used dog bed took it across to them. All before bringing out a full English. Her uniform would have had dog hairs all over it. There were two dogs and a cat in the restaurant. We thought we were at Crufts every time someone came in they were barking. Unfortunately will not be returning 😕

+ Retreat East was fantastic for the 2 days of chilling and relaxing that we so needed. Our room The Hayloft was exceptional, with everything that we needed and more. The spa was fabulous, and Izzy gave us both one of the best massages ever Great to find EV charging points by reception, and very good price Fantastic drinks menu, with lots to choose from, lamb and crème brûlée was unbelievable Continental breakfast was good, as was the hot choices Love the fact that dogs/cats are allowed in the restaurant area, when their humans ate, something that is rare to find, but was lovely to see here
− Couldn’t open a window to let in natural air into the room No phone connection in our room, said emergency calls only, and we were expecting phone calls, so had to walk over to the restaurant to get signal No shower gel, only shampoo and conditioner Only 2 of cups, glasses, etc, when needed more Coffee bags instead of pods would have been nice, as pods too strong A gate, at the very front entrance to the hayloft would be nice, especially for people with dogs/kids so they can’t just wander off A selection of sandwiches at lunch time on the menu would have been nice.
