Outdoor Living Done Well
At Penterry Holidays, time outdoors is every bit as comfortable and considered as time indoors. Both of our couples retreats – Orchard Cottage and Anne’s Retreat – are designed so you can eat, lounge and linger outside, with space that feels private, peaceful and just a little bit special.
Private Terraces for Slow, Lazy Days
Each retreat comes with its own outdoor space, so you can step out with your morning coffee or evening drink and feel like you have the countryside to yourselves.
Dining in the Fresh Air
Both Orchard Cottage and Anne’s Retreat feature private terraces or decking with outdoor seating, perfect for:
- Leisurely breakfasts in the sun
- Long, relaxed lunches between walks
- Romantic suppers under big Wye Valley skies
There’s no need to rush anywhere – just lay the table, open a bottle and enjoy the birdsong for background music.
Lounging with a View
When you simply want to switch off, your terrace or decking becomes an outdoor sitting room. Stretch out with a book, doze in the afternoon warmth or watch the light change over the fields and hills. With no crowds and no passing traffic, it’s easy to feel like you’ve escaped real life for a while.
Anne’s Retreat: Fire Pits & Hammocks
Anne’s Retreat takes outdoor living up a level. Set in its own meadow on the edge of a natural wood, it’s made for evenings that roll gently from daylight into starlight.
Fire Pit Cooking Under the Stars
The private fire pit at Anne’s Retreat is perfect if you love the ritual of cooking over an open flame. Think:
- Simple suppers cooked over glowing embers
- Marshmallows toasted as the sky darkens
- Warming drinks by the fire on cooler nights
It’s relaxed, hands-on and wonderfully atmospheric – a memorable way to end a day exploring the Wye Valley.
Hammock Seating for Pure Switch-Off
Hammock-style seating adds to the sense of escape at Anne’s Retreat. Gently swaying between trees or on the edge of the meadow, it’s an invitation to:
- Lie back and cloud-watch
- Lose yourself in a book
- Share an unhurried drink and conversation
It’s outdoor living at its most relaxed – nothing to do, nowhere to be, just time together in a beautiful, quiet setting.
Space to Breathe, Just for Two
Whether you’re stretched out on the terrace at Orchard Cottage or tending the fire at Anne’s Retreat, the outdoor spaces at Penterry Holidays are all about comfort, privacy and slowing down. Step outside, take a deep breath of Wye Valley air, and let the outside become your favourite “room” of all.
