White Roses Retreat Reviews

Catherine
We very much enjoyed our stay at White Roses Retreat. It was a quiet location, out in the countryside. The bungalow is clean and wellequipped with an extremely comfy bed. We found it cosy and comfortable. We didn't get to use the hot tub due to heavy driving rain during our stay. We would recommend and hope to stay again. We would definitely recommend getting the log burner fixed and making the hot tub more sheltered.

We book a hot tub get away every year. We prefer a quiet, scenic setting and this is exactly what we got in this charming, beautifully furnished, quaint cottage with everything you need in a secluded village. Restaurants and pubs close by with a lot of other wonderful activities to access. I loved watching the clouds constantly changing with stunning views looking from the living room window or the much welcomed hot tub! Thank you Andrea & Jack
Richard
Stunning well kept hottub amazing will come again thanks rich & Hazel xx
Brilliant cottage, great location and facilities within the property. We had two power cuts during our stay however this was manageable we went out and walked snowdon instead Great place for a close couple especially while cooking. Nice hottub. The garden could do with a tidy up but still a nice view from the hottub. Be prepared for no signal in the property so the use of included WiFi was paramount. Thank you for the stay.
Richard
It's the cutest little cottage, has everything you need for a wee break away! Garden had furniture for good weather and the hit tub was great!
Aurimas
Very nice stay, everything you need there is and more, clean, bed is very comfortable. Just only one thing I find as problem no parking space. Area is really quite, relaxing, near river, good location. We where happy to stay and happy to come back in the future. Thank you
Really enjoyed our stay small compact everything you need for relaxing after day of walking and sight seeing hot tub bonus views amazing quiet and peaceful. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.we will definitely come back thank you .
Lovely cottage. Very Clean and has everything you need. The bathroom treats were an added bonus. The hot tub is one of the reasons we booked it and it did not disappoint after coming back from a a day of hiking. The area is very nice quiet all you can hear is sheep. So for a get away this was perfect. There is WiFi at the property but no signal. Great location. Will definitely be back and have recommended already
Gregory
A very comfortable bungalow at the end of a quiet road in a sleepy Welsh village. We undertook lots of walks, hikes, swims and runs in the surrounding area and the hot tub made for a most welcome massage for sore muscles at the end of each day. Parking was fine, the bed and pillows were ever so comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The luxurious 'Tropic' toiletries were a special treat. Our only negative would be that the cottage was quite cluttered, albeit with attractive bits and pieces. This is particularly so in the kitchen where all of the cupboards were full and there was little space available for food storage.
Loved our stay here . Everything was just like advertised and more . The facilities were top notch. The hot tub was to die for. Overall we really enjoyed our selfs.
Doreen
Fantastic place to stay.
Philippa
Stunning bungalow, in a gorgeous little village. Beautiful views all around. The cottage is immaculately clean and extremely well equipped. Local pub is lovely and handy shop just a 2 minute walk away. Would strongly recommend and will definitely be returning.
Charming cottage in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Comfortable and spotlessly clean throughout. It had everything we needed for a really lovely holiday and the welcome package was a really nice way to start the trip. We would definitely stay again!
