Discover the retreat...

The Retreat is more than just a hotel... it's an escape from the every day, an oasis in the heart of the North Wessex Downs. Take time to wander around the grounds, discover hidden pathways, the walled garden and ancient trees. 

It's a perfect spot for relaxation and recreation, whether you choose to relax by the pool, play tennis or browse the shops in our courtyard.
