Our 3 night stay at Anne's Retreat was the magical. Starting with Euan's friendly and wholeheartedly kind welcome (even when we arrived much later than planned!) to the gorgeous interior and generous welcome hamper. Euan even brought us some lovely local sausages back as he was popping out to the shop. 

Bring marshmallows and sit by the fire pit and listen to the leaves falling off the trees, bring bubble bath and sit looking out into the woods.... my first bath with birdsong for company.

A little gem hidden in the Welsh Countryside.

Many thanks for a relaxing break

What a perfect antidote to busy city life! The huts provided everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Warm cosy indoor and outdoor fires, fluffy robes, towels and hot water and the lovely hamper of treats. I cannot wait to return and share this with my husband next time!

Euan and Laura, thank you for sharing your beautiful slice of paradise with me. I look forward to next time. 

Warmest regards

This wonderful stay began with Euan's warm, friendly welcome. Anne's Retreat is simply beautiful and has everything I needed to make myself comfy and cozy. I've enjoyed many a doze in the hammock, taken advantage of the walks on the doorstep affording stunning views of the Severn, take in the stars by the roasty fire pit and of course enjoyed several long lie in's 

This was just the perfect peaceful, solitary spot I needed to rest and recharge

Ryan and myself have had the most wonderful and relaxing honeymoon. Euan was a pleasure: telling us about "must see" places, the best pubs, butchers and shops etc.

Anne's Retreat was exactly what we needed, we don't want to leave!

Advice for fellow guests: Marshmallows, lots of casserole ingredients, good books, walking shoes and never leave the hut!! Because it is SO perfect.

Thank you for having us Ryan and Hannah

"Dear Laura & Euan

What a complete dream to find Anne’s Retreat and you both. The perfect spot to escape the rabble.

Complete perfection in every way.

Thank you and hope to return very soon

All the very best, Olivia"

Having seen a Shepherds Hut on TV, we wondered what it would be like to stay in one. We were not disappointed! Quirky but with all the mod cons! Very comfy bed and great shower!

The location is idillic, such wonderful peace and quiet. The dogs who greeted us every time we came back were a bonus

 Anne's Retreat was the most perfect antidote to busy London, tucked away in the beautifully rural Wye Valley, but with every possible luxury one might find in a 5* hotel including an extremely comfortable superking bed, soft dressing gowns, toiletries and a bath that looked out into the dappled woodland sunlight outside. 

Laura and Euan could not have been more warm and welcoming hosts, thinking of everything from bundles of kindling for the little woodburner inside, to treats for our breakfast which we enjoyed sitting outside on our private decking. They were a fountain of knowledge for the local area, resulting in some of the best walking we've ever done around historic Penterry. I only wished we could have stayed longer- a truly romantic getaway that trumps any 'glamping' experience. Our return couldn't come any sooner!

"We had a wonderful time at your Orchard Cottage and also in the brand new 6 (out of 5) stars Anne's Retreat. Marvellous place , marvellous hosts, marvellous landscape, marvellous everything. I am sure we will be back. Thanks for all, Stefan and Gabbie"

The cottage is beautiful, the location is wonderful and we couldn’t ask for better hosts. We will definitely be returning! Many thanks Felicia, Helen and Pumpkin

7^th – 11^th June 2018

A wonderful cottage and location. I wanted a few days of peace and quiet and Orchard Cottage is the perfect place.

Thank you to Laura and Euan for making me feel like a house guest, to Badger and Bronte for regularly dropping in and to the delinquent lambs for making me laugh!

I will be back …. Carol, Pyrford, Surrey

Our second visit to Orchard Cottage was just as lovely as our first last year – and the woods and the fields were at their best with the last of the bluebells and full of wild flowers.

We had some super walks – to Tintern through the woods, and in the Forest of Dean visiting some of the pretty villages there. We were lucky enough to enjoy the flower festival at Penterry Church, complete with musicians and cream tea.

We re-visited The Whitebrook which is a real treat.  But mostly we enjoyed the peace, the surrounding walks and the wonderful views. Orchard Cottage is extremely comfortable, has everything needed, and is in the most perfect setting. WE feel very refreshed after a lovely relaxing break.  Barbara and Trevor

We have been coming to this delightful cottage since early 2007. Every time the visit has been faultless, mostly due to the care and attention of Laura and Euan.

Many thanks. Julie, Tony and Toby

  PS We LOVE the 5* shepherds hut!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and are already making plans for when we might return.  The cottage is lovely, very spacious, warm and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer. Thanks also for your warm welcome and very generous welcome pack.

Thank you both for another warm, comfortable and enjoyable break (I think our fourteenth with you!). We love to be here.

What a charming cottage this is – a pleasure to stay here in this idyllic spot. Very impressed by the thoughtful way it’s fitted out. A lovely spot from which to explore the beautiful Wye Valley.

Many thanks  Jenny and Chris
