Peaceful and stunning views

Tricia, the owner, was in touch beforehand to ensure that everything was smooth when I arrived, and it was. I was so thrilled with the view from the Retreat that I just stood and looked. The cabin was spotless and very well supplied - even the quiz magazine had a pen and pencil. There was a welcome cream tea with a note on heating the scones - and a very generous helping of clotted cream, not like some cream teas! The bedroom was compact but comfortable with good cupboard space, and well equipped with an excellent hairdryer, fan, dehumidifier, heater, iron - and a digital radio. Despite it bring October, the weather was mild enough for me to use the hot tub, which was a perfect temperature and perfect for enjoying the river view. Tricia has also supplied a golf buggy to travel up and down the slope to the Retreat, which was a first for me, but fun and efficient.

I struggled a bit with the clips on the cover of the hot tub, because I have arthritic fingers, but I am pretty sure that Tricia would have helped if I had asked - I managed before I got to that point.

very quiet and relaxing, host was very friendly, chalet was clean, comfortable, and the owner made sure all the creature comforts and essentials were available, down to even supplying an electric buggy to take our stuff to the chalet.

more ornamental pigs around the chalet please and a second electric buggy so when we stay again my wife and i can race around the garden, lol.

Our host cancelled this booking within an hour of accepting it. I am still waiting for a refund. This is a pointless exercise!

Being messed about

We have had two wonderful days here. The mobile home was spotlessly clean with a tasteful decor. We were surrounded by a large garden with lots of funny elements. The extra bonuses of this lovely spot are the beautiful view to the Exe estuary and the golf cart with which you can transport your luggage. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location, amazing views, very private, excellent facilities, lots of lovely little extras, very clean, host is just delightful. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Lodge was very clean with everything you need. Hot tub was clean and awesome views whilst sat in it. The host was lovely and even gave my girlfriend a birthday card!

Everything was perfect and I'd definitely stay here again without a doubt - The host was very welcoming and helpful. The chalet was absolutely beautiful and the area is stunning!

There was nothing I disliked about my stay here!

Everything. The Host is an amazing lady, who left scones, cream and jam, milk and eggs for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Hot tub is incredible, the views are out of this world. Had a wonderful stay there

Location was fantastic - so relaxing with superb views. Felt very private, but the hosts (Tricia and Ethel) were so friendly and always on hand if you needed anything. Violet Mays retreat was cosy and well equipped with everything you needed, including a hot tub! Great communications and fab location. Easy links by train, bus and ferry if you didn't want to drive. Also within walking distance to lovely local pubs and nearby beaches. Hi lights - our hosts, the golf buggy, the welcome basket, the view from the deck, day or night. Highly recommended.

We loved everything!!

Idilic retreat, peace & quiet that exceeded our expectations. Lovely host.

Nothing.

Nothing

The incredible helpful host, the view, personal golf buggy, the hot tub, the interesting surrounding, the peace & quiet and 5 minute walk to two pubs.

The lack of WiFi could be an issue for some people, but not us.

We liked EVERYTHING about Violet mays retreat ..so much so that after only being there for an hour we booked it again for later in the year ..It is very quiet and has lovely peaceful surroundings . It has an amazing view lokking over the river exe . We were welcomed with lovely tasty treats ,tea and coffee and clean towels . The hot tub was very relaxing The host,Tricia was very welcoming and friendly and went out of her way to make sure we had a lovely stay

There is nothing not to like about Violet Mays retrear

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, we had the best time made extraordinary by the most wonderful host, she is gold

Stunning location with fantastic views in a secluded location to relax and unwind. Chalet is tucked out of the wind in a large garden and the hot tub is a lovely bonus. Daisy the golf cart is a quirky way get up the little hill. Lovely friendly host Tricia makes this place really special. Short walk to local pubs. Choice of beaches nearby. Would love to visit again soon.

The property was self contained and very private. I would come again.
