Ideally located in a quiet village. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We were looking for a B&B and were instantly attracted to this property. Had all the facilities we needed for an overnight stay, inc tea and coffee and a powerful shower. Use of a garden room and the garden. The decor was modern and tasteful. No cooking facilities, other than a microwave, but several pubs nearby. Also the ‘So Good It Yurts’ serves an excellent breakfast. The owners are happy for residents to order in takeaway food - plates and cutlery provided. We also had superb comms from the owners who provided advice on local amenities.

Hi, I am Beth and I look forward to welcoming you to The Retreat. I love cooking, gardening and travelling, spending time with my family and walking my dog. I am very sociable and love meeting new people.
Ideally located for Doncaster Race Course, Yorkshire Wildlife Park and The Dome. Just 3 minutes away from Bawtry, a delightful market town full of cosmopolitan bars and restaurants, shops and boutiques. Only 15 minutes away from Doncaster, Retford and Gainsborough. Within walking distance of Everton where there are 2 pubs serving food, The Yurt and a coffee shop for drinks and breakfast. For a touch of fine dining, The Blacksmiths at Clayworth and The Mucky Duck at Drakeholes are only a couple of miles away. Harwell has the most incredible wood filled with wildlife and is only a short walk from the accommodation.
