Staying at The Retreat was like stepping into a little piece of paradise! The peaceful ambiance high in the mountains, combined with stunning views and incredibly attentive staff, made my experience truly unforgettable. The unique dining experience, where there’s no set menu, means you’ll always have something delicious and creative to look forward to. However, if you're not one for a quiet atmosphere without TVs or phones, it might feel a bit isolating for some.
