Hotel Retreat since 1932
Tucked away on a quiet stretch of coast, Retreat Hotel has been a sanctuary for travellers since 1932. What began as a family-run guesthouse has grown into a timeless hideaway — a place where stories are shared over slow breakfasts, where sea air fills every room, and where the rhythm of nature sets the pace of your day. Though much has changed in the world outside, our values remain rooted in simplicity, stillness, and genuine hospitality. Every stone, beam, and garden path carries decades of memory — from poets who once wrote here, to generations of guests who return year after year for that same familiar calm. Retreat is not just a place to stay, but a place to return to yourself.
A slower way to travel
At Retreat Hotel, we believe in the beauty of doing less — and noticing more. Our experience is curated not with excess, but with care: from hand-picked furnishings to food sourced within a few miles. Whether you're sipping coffee on the cliffside deck or listening to the wind move through the trees, everything here is designed to help you tune in rather than switch off. This is travel without pressure — no tight itineraries, no loud distractions — just thoughtful spaces, kind people, and a deep respect for the land we’re part of. Come as you are, leave a little lighter.
