We stayed during our summer holidays 1 week in The Retreat. The cottage is spotlessly clean. The beds are not to soft, nor to firm. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the garden/flowers are well maintained.
The beautiful Cove is on walking distance, and Durdle Door is also nearby (from the Cove > one high and steep hill you need to master !)
For cooking our meals we used the 2 tiny induction cookers, instead of the Rayburn (not familiar with it). The village has only one small shop.
The private parking space in front of the property is a nice bonus. The street in front of the property can be pretty busy, but this is no problem (quiet).
Thank you Mel/Mark for your assistance during our stay.
