“This was our second visit to Beckworth retreat and again with family. The rooms are comfortable, with lots of storage and we loved the big shared kitchen and dining area away from the rooms.
Plenty of fridge and freezer space available for our supplies as well as for other guests staying. Also a well set up kitchen with lots of cooking utensils and eating utensils.
I will continue to recommend Beckworth retreat."
