Absolutely wonderful place to stay. We stayed in the Peregrine Retreat. It was so beautifully decorated and felt so warm and inviting. The attention to details and the personal touches just added an extra layer of fabulousness. It was so private and had the most amazing views; we just absorbed and didn't leave our retreat all weekend. Definitely will be going back and highly recommend to everyone. Thank you so much Sarah, we simply love the space you have created here.
We had the best time staying here! It’s got everything you need. The views are amazing and the hot tub is lovely. The hosts were so welcoming and kind and made sure we knew if we needed anything to let them know. We will 100% be back

Fantastic to hear, thank you. We are always on hand and happy to help if needed. So pleased you found the lodge so well equipped, enjoyed the views and the spa bath. We look forward to welcoming you back! Best Wishes.
My partner and I stayed for 2 nights (not long enough!!) and enjoyed a perfect retreat from the city. Between the massage and beauty treatments from Debbie, and the outstanding natural beauty surrounding the cabin, we had the most relaxing weekend. 100% recommend, and we will be returning! Thank you Sarah!!! The cabin was sparkling clean, amazing location and great amenities. Simply perfect.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed the massages from our recommended therapist — Debbie really is fantastic, and such a wonderful way to relax. I’m so pleased you loved the lodge, the views, and the peaceful setting. Thank you for the lovely feedback and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The lodges are absolutely stunning, fantastically well equipped and in such a beautiful and peaceful location. Sarah was a fantastic host, brilliant communication and a fuss free and easy self check in. The area is as if off a postcard with lovely walks and beautiful country pubs with the most friendly and welcoming locals. We feel very relaxed and refreshed and are already planning our next trip back. We can’t wait to come back!

We are so lucky to be surrounded by such stunning views, wonderful pubs, and friendly locals, and I’m delighted you enjoyed it all so much. It’s lovely to hear you felt relaxed and refreshed after your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best Wishes.
Absolutely stunning location. When we walked in we couldn’t believe the views.
The lodge was absolutely immaculate—particularly loved the multi-room Sonos system.
Wish we’d have been able to stay longer—but will certainly be back in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future.

We work hard to ensure it is immaculate for guests on their arrival and I am pleased to hear that you wish you could have stayed longer. Thank you! Best Wishes.
Great weekend away and spectacular views. The electric fire was so lovely to relax in front of and just take in the view. The underfloor heating was a great addition as it was a very cold weekend and the lodge was lovely and warm. The lodge has everything you can think of utensils wise which was really helpful. The sonos speakers were brilliant. We dined at the Kilpeck inn on the Saturday no more than a 10 min drive which i would also highly recommend. Late checkout was very much appreciated. Can't wait to return.

I’m delighted to hear you found the lodge so warm, comfortable, and well-equipped — especially during the named storm over your weekend stay. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed relaxing by the fire and appreciated the added touches throughout, such as the Sonos system. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes
We had an amazing time at Peregrine retreat . The views are absolutely stunning. We loved the outdoor area and tub.
We bought our dog and the space was perfect . We were greeted by a lovely welcome hamper and treats and a towel for our dog. The retreats have a lovely enclosed dog area with a seating area which was ideal.
Could not recommend the space any more. It was such a special place to return to after my partner proposed on our trip .

Thank you for the high recommendation and congratulations on the proposal. I am pleased you all enjoyed your break and welcome basket (not forgetting your dog!). Thank you. All the best.
We had a mini honeymoon here and it was perfect! Beautiful views, great location, lodge was perfect and had everything we needed. Very peaceful location. Would definitely recommend for a quiet romantic getaway

Fantastic to hear your mini-moon was so perfect and you enjoyed the location and facilities. Thank you! Best Wishes.
We had a wonderful stay at Peregrine Retreat! The cottage was beautifully presented, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The setting is so peaceful and the views are stunning – the perfect escape from busy life. Sarah was a fantastic host, very thoughtful and welcoming, and communication was excellent throughout. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return.

Great to hear you enjoyed the peace, stunning views, and well-equipped lodge. I am always on hand and happy to help guests if they require. We look forward to welcoming you back. All the best.
Just come back from 4 fabulous nights in Barn Owl Lodge, Bettws Court Retreats. We do a lot of these types of holiday and this is by some distance the best yet. So remote, beautiful views and the lodge itself is first class. The spa bath is much better than a hot tub, as you can make it cold or hot...it was 32c weather, so we loved it being cold. Thank you for such a fantastic holiday, we will be back. Steve, Jayne and Scamp.

"We do a lot of these types of holiday and this is by some distance the best yet" - wow, what a fantastic compliment! Thank you so much. I am so thrilled to hear you enjoyed the lodge, both the facilities and stunning location, so much. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best Wishes.
We stayed in Kestrel Retreat and I cannot emphasise how amazing this stay is. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a break. It is perfectly spotless with so much attention to detail throughout the whole property. We did not encounter any issues throughout the stay and Sarah was more than helpful, leaving suggestions of walks, guides on how to use the property amenities. The view was by far the best thing, it is so unique and it makes the whole experience peaceful.
Thank you for a lovely stay, i will definitely be coming back soon and will recommend this highly to everyone.

Thank you for the high praise and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back! Best Wishes.
Stayed for a weekend. Amazing location with spectacular views, from a commanding height, over the stunning pastoral Herefordshire countryside - would look amazing whether in good or bad weather (great place to watch a storm blow by).
The lodge was immaculately clean, smart and very well-spec'd. Spa bath, decking, BBQ, Sonos system, etc etc. We were able to instantly relax and unwind.
Fantastic place to walk from and great folder of suggestions for local walks. We had a great walk over to Kilpeck Inn for lunch. Also ate out at Under the Nut Tree - also highly rated.
Excellent, friendly customer service too. Would thoroughly recommend and would happily come back.

The views really are stunning no matter the weather! Great to hear you enjoyed the luxuries, facilities as well as the location. Under the Nut Tree really is a great concept and the walk from the lodge via the Kilpeck Inn is also a firm favourite. Thank you for the high recommendation. Best Wishes.
WOW WOW WOW! Where do I start!
Me & my wife stayed in Kestrel Retreat - this has got to be the best UK break we have ever had!
To wake up to them truly stunning views every morning was nothing short of breathtaking!
The accommodation is stunning, high tech , clear, modern and Sonos speakers in every room - unreal!
The Spa bath on the decking - Pure Luxury!
Again the views and sunset on the evening again just wow wow wow!!
It was a double birthday celebration for me and my wife - THE BEST 3 NIGHTS!
Thank you Sarah for the first class welcome , instructions and departure messages.
Your place is absolutely amazing!
I could go on and on … but these 5* reviews speak for themselves:) :)
We had the best time!
Wish we were back next weekend! X

"Wow, Wow, Wow...the best UK break we have ever had!" - what an honour, thank you very much. So thrilled you made such fantastic memories for your double birthday celebration. We look forward to welcoming you back! Best wishes.
Cannot fault this place one bit. We had a weekend stay here, and the accommodation is simply superb. It's perfect for a couples getaway, which is completely secluded. The retreat offers spectacular views of the local shires which can be enjoyed in peace and privacy. Everything has been laid out well within the retreat and makes the stay so much more enjoyable and easy as you don't have to worry about anything. The owners of the place are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you Sarah. I would highly recommend staying at these retreats and would happily book again in the future.

Tranquil, top notch, spotless and well equipped - all things we love to hear. Delighted you enjoyed your weeks break. Thank you. Best Wishes.
We had a wonderful 3 nights stay at Barn Owl retreat. The lodge is furnished and finished to a very high standard. Everything we needed was provided and the kitchen area was well equipped. We loved the outdoor spa bath and speaker system. It felt very private and you were not aware or overlooked by the neighbouring lodges. The view is breathtaking and meant we were very happy relaxing at the lodge after a day exploring this beautiful area. Thank you

Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, well-equipped lodge, and especially those beautiful views. So pleased you found the accommodation private and not overlooked – that’s something that matters a lot to our guests (and to us). Thank you. All the best.
The most amazing stay we could have ever imagined.
Stunning views from every angle.
Literally cannot find a fault in our stay. The attention to detail prepared by the host is second to none. Every element to the stay is thought about from the welcome hamper, the binoculars to study the views and all the extra information provided to fill your stay.
Thank you again for such a lovely stay, we cannot wait to visit again!!
