Chestnut at Cynefin Retreats

What a wonderful experience it was staying here. An expert eye for detail creating calm, immaculate interiors, in which to relax and indulge after days spent enjoying the beautiful countryside straight out of the door. Seclusion and sanctuary but all necessary amenities nearby. Sheer heaven, thank you!

The stay in the Luxe Lodge was simply flawless. From bending over backwards to furnish requests before arriving ie having no feathers in the bedding, to the friendly staff we met around the site. The accommodation was finishing to the highest standard, perfectly clean and everything that was needed could be found. The log burner and fire pit had been left stacked ready to light and the hot tub was actually hot! (And clean!!) Could not recommend this place enough and will certainly return for another peaceful weekend.

We had such a lovely stay. Two of us for a few days mid week in late November/December. Such a relaxing get away - with the hot tub, the walks, the wood fire, the peacefulness- just what we needed. Would really recommend this to anyone. Would recommend bringing a good book (or browsing hay for one - even better), some good walking shoes, jacuzzi clothing, and also going to ‘off grid gourmet’. Thank you and can't wait to come again.

The lodges are dreamy. The bed was one of the comfiest I've slept in. The open plan space downstairs is great for cooking, eating, relaxing as a group but without being on top of each other. We played several games they provided and cooked up a feast on the firepit one eve, using one of their impressive cookbooks for recipes and using the amazing cast iron cookware! All really well thought through with special touches. We got lucky with the weather and there wasn't a cloud in the sky one eve, making the star gazing truly world class - we enjoyed from our bubbling hot tub. Amazing place.
