Speke's Retreat - 18827

It’s a very nice quiet surrounded with the lush green area and it has very Pleasant walking trail which takes you to the beach About 20 minutes walk . I would recommend this place if somebody looking for a nice and quiet break

A great holiday location, for all the family. Eleven of us and two dogs fitted into the accommodation easily. The property was clean and spacious and had many extras included, especially in the kitchen. The books and games were a nice touch.Although the choice of local shops was sparse, we shopped on our days out for food and drinks.We would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and out of the way holiday. A fantastic area to explore and there’s plenty of places I’d never even heard of to visit.Hope to be back again in the future…

Beautiful cottage in a very quiet area. Stunning scenery and walks, but hilly and no shops or amenities within walking distance. Friendly hosts who live locally and have thought of everything to enhance the stay. Would love to return and explore further. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Great cottage in a nice quiet remote location. 10-15 minutes drive from the nearest pub/restaurant. It has everything you need if you are doing your own cooking. Very comfortable. Alison was very welcoming she also drove to Hartland to get me a pint of milk and then later returned with the best loaf of bread. Couldn't recommend enough.

We loved staying at Spekes Retreat and enjoyed walking around the area and to the falls. A bit of a drive for restaurants and beaches but not undo able Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Spekes retreat is excellent for a large family group. Very comfortable and well equipped kitchen. Rural location ideal for walking and exploring lovely area of the country. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely cottage. Very remote, nothing locally except walks and one very nice tea room. Make sure you have everything you need on arrival! A few things could be improved: fix the light above the cooker, it needs decent pots and pans (especially as self catering is fairly essential being so far away from a town), fix the knob on the cooker (very loose so couldn't tell what temp it was and consequently burnt our tea!). Overall we had a lovely stay, there was 11 of us and there was plenty of space. If peace and tranquility is your thing, far from the madding crowd, this is definitely a good choice.

Needs a more thorough clean as lots of cobwebs around but then it is an old property. Lots of bulbs need replacing, Shame basics not there like tea and coffee, sugar and salt pepper etc also should have soap in each bathroom. However, it was very reasonably priced and warm and mince pies a nice touch. We have a great time as walking was amazing straight from the accommodation

We had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful part of the country. Spekes Retreat had everything we needed and the owner was really lovely and very helpful to our needs

A good place to get together with the family and with the bonus of being pet friendly it meant everybody was able to attend. The property is not within easy walking distance of any shops or pubs and transport is essential but it's peaceful location and walks nearby make up for that. There is plenty of room and all the bedrooms are en-suite with a good sized kitchen and large dining table. We had a slight issue with the heating being too hot and the kitchen could do with some decent oven gloves but apart from that we had a excellent family weekend and would return.
