Stayed for two weeks and as this is our seventh visit it was just as fantastic as our first. Sue provides a truly wonderful place to stay. It's a complete wind down with a view to absolutely die for. We will be going back as soon as we can, would not want to miss this wonderful location form my list of holiday places.

All Wheelchair accessible. The beds were a good height - the mattresses a little too soft for easily moving around on for my paraplegic husband and the sofa a little too low but we took risers for this. A lovely spot to stay on holiday and the nearest town was adorable!

We have recently returned from a very relaxing break at Ross Bay. This was our second visit. The setting is spectacular with wonderful views over the Bay. We had everything we needed and the cake on arrival was a welcome touch. We have come back refreshed and can certainly recommend Ross Bay Retreats.

Our stay at Creel Cottage was excellent. Having had a busy few months I needed a place to completely relax and Creel did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated throughout. Bedrooms cosy and quiet. Good kitchen. Great views of the beach from living room area and bistro unit. Delighted with several walks from Creel to nearby beaches. What a find! Thank you. We will be back

Altough very small with little/no storage space, we enjoyed a very comfortabe stay at the Retreataway in a stunning part of Dumfries Galloway. We thought the Accomodation was on the pricey side for a small hut, but it was done to a very high, standard and the views and balcony area made it all worth while. Thank you.

Lovely exceptionally clean and well maintained cottage..Situated in a lovely village close to Helmsley. Two extremely important things for us was a lovely long garden for our lab and convenient off road parking too. There are 2 local pubs serving beautiful food, The Star Inn (where dogs are allowed in the bar area) and The Pheasant with outside seating. Would highly recommend Overdale cottage. All transactions went smoothly with the owners.
