  • "We stayed at no."

    10 Darwin Retreat and it didn't disappoint. It was spacious, well set out and the bed was heavenly. There was enough room to store clothes and cases. The hot tub was amazing. We did alot of walking and it was very welcome after a day in the hills. We weren't that lucky with the weather but one night was clear and we saw some beautiful stars. The only issue we had was with the shower, we arent technical and managed to get it set where it blasts out freezing cold jets of water from the side. I ended up just using the hand held shower as we couldn't work out how to get it off this mode and we darent touch the sauna side of things!. This was the only issue we had. The on site butchers was great. We had rump steak, veg boxes and the chicken and leek pies, as well as a breakfast pack, all were very nice and tasty local produce. All in all it was great and we will hopefully book again in the future
