What guests are saying
I had a wonderful stay.
The location is incredibly peaceful, which was just what I needed. The hut/lodge was lovely and comfortable with great attention to detail. I couldn’t rate it any higher. The level of cleanliness was really appreciated, my Flash wipes were not needed at all!!! Both Amy and Richard were very welcoming and helpful. I cannot wait to stay again. Thank you.
Lovely accomodation and friendly owners.
It's always lovely to stay at Bumble's Retreat.
No WiFi, no TV - the perfect place to switch off, relax and unwind. When it's warm enough, sitting outside to eat breakfast is a wonderful way to start the day. Then in the evenings a walk across the fields after a great meal at the White Horse is a lovely way to end the day.
