“As we celebrate our first wedding anniversary in this amazing cabin, we are amazed by how peaceful and beautiful it is here. The hot tub is brilliant, the perfect touch for a relaxing getaway. Louise and Simon are fantastic hosts, and answered all questions quickly. We will definitely be returning. Best getaway we have had in our 8 years of being together. We enjoy the little things such as the welcome basket. Love how private it is here and how pretty the gardens are. Can’t wait to come back next year if you’ll have us!xx”

“5th visit & still as lovely as our first! 😊 My partner asked me to marry him out on the veranda during our last stay not so long ago, so came back to continue the romantic feeling we had here; and we weren’t disappointed! Beautiful grounds and saw a deer in the garden when we arrived. What a treat! Will be back xx.”

“Our stay was absolutely amazing!
Louise and Simon were perfect, always felt like if anything was needed they was right there but really respected our privacy. The cabin was beautiful, it had everything you needed, was spotlessly clean and a really nice welcoming hamper. The hot tub was also excellent, really clean. The surroundings in the garden are private and tranquil really beautiful to see the nature around. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to come back. Thank you both for our stay we felt rested and refreshed completely!”

“My first visit and it won’t be my last! The retreat is beautiful inside and out, and worries and stress just seem to melt away as you walk in. It has such an air of serenity.
The hot tub is wonderful.
Louise & Simon made everything so easy for me; helping me with my luggage, and have created something really special.”

"We had an absolutely lovely stay at Crafters Retreat. The place was immaculate. The location was beautiful and private. The place was incredibly well stocked out with everything you need and more for a break away. I don't have a bad word to say about the place or our experience. Louise and Simon were incredibly attentive and responded to messages both before our stay and during. Would absolutely recommend, and would definitely stay again." (AirBnB Review)​
