The Pepper Pot Retreat Reviews

The hosts who live onsite were welcoming and helpful with local information and any requirements we had throughout our stay. The cottage is well equipped and tastefully furnished We loved the private south facing patio. Good access to open country for dog walks.
Hi Sharon, I thought my daughter Tegan had done the review on the train The Pepper Pot Retreat is a well appointed, good sized holiday home. It is situated along a very quiet private road with access to beautiful walks, not far from the Retreat, up the private road. Your hosts Sharon and John are very welcoming and knowledgeable of the local area. They live onsite, so are not far away should you need anything. Sharon has a treatment room on site offering many services from hair cuts to full body massages, we had the relaxing massages, which were great. The Retreat is newly refurbished and been done well, with good sized double and twin bedrooms. The living area is open planned with kitchen dinner and and lounge area. There is a small secure fenced in area for your furry friends, but you are encouraged to walk up the lane for them to relieve themselves. In this area you also have table and chairs along with a four seater hot tub. The Retreat is set away from the hussle and bussel of life, but not too far from Villages and attractions on the Island.
