    “The Retreat was a lovely property.”

    The owners had thought of everything. The property is ideally suited for using as a base to travel to Bournemouth, Poole or even the Tank Museum in Bovington or just do nothing and enjoy the hot tub and relax. We were also within walking distance of the shops and restaurants etc. We were a bit concerned with the lack of reviews prior to booking as the property was new to Sykes, but we would highly recommend it. It's definitely the nicest property that we've stayed in with Sykes.
