Brilliant stay

Posted Jul. 8, 2023 on HomeAway
We loved The Retreat as it was so peaceful and secluded yet only a two minute walk to the Two Sawyers for a smashing evening meal! The house had everything we needed and was lovely and clean on arrival. Beautiful weather meant we could enjoy the decking, and watch the wildlife and sheep, after visiting many NT properties in the area. Jac and Phil were the perfect hosts and if we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay again.

"The Retreat" is wonderful!

Posted May 16, 2022 on HomeAway
My wife and I just completed a seven-week stay at The Retreat. Every thing about the stay exceeded our high expectations. Jac and Phil are wonderful, warm, attentive hosts. The property is beautiful and superbly equipped and located. We loved it!

Dear Amy and Skip. Thank you for your excellent review and very kind comments. You were superb guests and would be welcome any time. Your relaxed, friendly, considerate nature made it easy for us and we thoroughly enjoyed your stay. We are so glad that you were here for the baby's birth and that both Mother and Son are fine. Hopefully we will see you again sometime and in the meanwhile wish you happiness and health. Kind regards Jac and Phil

Peaceful Country Retreat

Posted Sep. 21, 2021 on HomeAway
Ideal for a couple like us, situated quietly down a drive off the village road. Clean, comfortable, very well equipped and all on one floor. Jac was very friendly and helpful. Well placed for visiting both a number of National Trust and other properties and gardens, plus towns such as Rye & Hastings. We also enjoyed great weather for September.

Dick Fordham Review of the Retreat

Posted Sep. 14, 2021 on HomeAway
The property is immaculate and has everything, and I do mean everything, you need to make yourself at home. The setting in Pett Village is idyllic with a 15th Century pub with great food and drinks and a lovely beer garden just across the road. It was quite and peaceful and is rightly named The Retreat. Jac and Phil are great hosts, attentive but not intrusive and it felt like my own home.

Lovely relaxing stay

Posted Aug. 4, 2021 on HomeAway
The retreat is a very clean and well equipped property in a beautiful countryside setting. There is a gorgeous outlook from the balcony - lovely to relax with a glass of wine whilst the kids played in the garden. Would highly recommend

Thank you Amy for your glowing review and comments. It would be great to see you back at The Retreat anytime. The trampoline base mat arrived on the morning that you departed!

The Perfect Retreat

Posted Jul. 14, 2021 on HomeAway
This the best self catering place we have ever stayed in. It is fully equipped and I could happily live here full time. The hosts are friendly and approachable, not that we needed anything during our stay. The Retreat is in a quiet village with a pub at end of the driveway and Hastings with all its attractions is a short drive away. I thoroughly recommend this venue and promise you will not be disappointed.

Warm and cosy

Thank you for your 5* review and kind comments. Thank you so much for letting us know about the broken roof tile (not caused by yourselves). It enabled us to deal with the issue sooner rather than later. You were excellent guests and are welcome anytime. We did feel for you over the 'less than perfect weather'.

We had a lovely stay at the retreat. Although the weather wasn't the best their was plenty to do on the area and for those really rainy days the retreat had a selection of games for us to enjoy. It was lovely and clean and well maintained which made it the perfect base for our family holiday. Thank you
