Is Emily's Retreat Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families

Emily's Retreat is designed for couples rather than families. The single-storey property has one double bedroom sleeping two adults. There are no specific facilities for children. The private garden offers outdoor space but the property works best for adults seeking a quiet countryside break. The peaceful rural setting and well-stocked collection of books and films suit grown-up guests.

Groups Will Love...

The generous welcome pack at Emily's Retreat sets this property apart. You'll arrive to find a bottle of wine, biscuits, tea and coffee waiting for you. The owner also provides complimentary shampoo, conditioner, shower gels and cleaning supplies. This level of thoughtfulness extends throughout the property. Every detail has been considered to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free from the moment you walk through the door.

Pet Friendly

Emily's Retreat does not accept pets. The owner is a cat enthusiast and the property is maintained as a pet-free environment. The peaceful rural setting and surrounding fields would otherwise suit dogs well. The private garden offers outdoor space and quiet country lanes nearby would make good walking routes. However, the no-pets policy is firm so you'll need to make alternative arrangements for your animals.
