The Retreat Lee Bay Reviews

Raymond

Great location for exploring the area.

Daniel

Great relaxing break location, with wonderful costal walks over the hills behind the cottage. Sunsets in the hot tub with a glass of wine if you time it right.

Trish

A lovely holiday home in a beautiful, scenic area. Set not too far away to allow travel and adventures to secret beaches and coves, walks and days out aplenty. The amenities included in the holiday home welcome you back after your adventures, especially the hot tub with views out to sea. A super king sized bed, under floor heating & a fabulous walkRead more-in shower all add to the snuggling comforts you feel when you stay here. Definitely worth a visit, but keep it quiet, I want to book again !! Hide

Karen

Fabulous holiday home with an amazing bed - a perfect night's sleep. Both the owner and housekeeper were very attentive. Won't recommend for fear of it being fully booked!!!! Simply can't wait to return.

emma

The Retreat was a very well equipped and comfortable home from home, and we had a lovely weeks stay with our Mollie-dog. It is well positioned to explore the north Devon coast and countryside. The hot tub was a lovely treat, as was sitting in the sunshine on the balcony both for breakfast and dinner. We highly recommend Miss Feas in Mortehoe for di nner if eating out!

Paul

Great location with some amazing walks and beautiful countryside. Cottage is very well equipped and comfortable with amazing views around!

Luke

Fantastic property in a lovely quiet location. Would highly recommend for a couple break
