We booked our accommodation at Woolrich Retreat at short notice & were absolutely blown away when we arrived. It's a lovely cottage decorated in an art deco style with a log fire & a well stocked kitchen. In fact, the food provided was so delicious & generous that we barely needed to buy a thing over our 3 night stay.... More

The Garden Suite is handsomely furnished and comfortable, with every little extra attention to detail. The breakfast provisions were more than generous. The little chocolates and fresh flowers were greatly appreciated. We arrived at the peak... More

We stayed in the Garden Suite for five nights in September 2012. The Garden Suite is attached to the hosts' house, but we found it very quiet. It was such a relaxing stay in beautiful garden surroundings - the perfect location base to explore places like Cloudehill, National Rhododendron Gardens, George Tindale gardens, Tesselar Tulip Festival etc. Mary went above...
