Visitor Reviews of South View Retreat

Date of stay: 28th March 2025
We recently enjoyed a stay at The Wainstones with our dog and honestly, it was quite a lovely escape. The space is pretty cosy, so packing light is definitely the way to go, but theyve made great use of whats available. The views from the lodge and the hot tub were absolutely stunning - such a treat to relax there. It felt quite private, though we could see other campers nearby, which was fine. The owners greeted us warmly and gave clear instructions for access and using the hot tub, which was appreciated. The place was generally clean, but a deep clean now and then wouldnt hurt - inside cupboards, the bathroom corners, the sofa and outside areas could do with a bit of tidying up. Some paint is peeling here and there, but honestly, it didnt bother us much. A quick tip - bring extra towels if youre using fake tan, as theirs arent suitable and dont forget one for the hot tub. They only provide plastic glasses for drinks, but thats probably for safety. Wed definitely come back - its a lovely spot!

We had a really lovely stay at the lodge, honestly couldn't have asked for more. We booked the Carlton lodge and it turned out to be just right for what we needed. The kitchenette was handy with a sink, fridge, tiny freezer, hob and microwave - perfect for simple meals. The double bed was comfy enough and the small pull-out sofa bed was fine for extra space, even if it didnt look super plush. The TV was a decent size, which was a bonus. The bathroom had a shower, sink and toilet, all in good order. Outside, the enclosed garden was ideal for our dog (they charge £30 for pets, which is fair) and it had a picnic bench, a firepit and a hot tub - lovely touches! Only minor gripes: the sofa bed didnt look the comfiest, but we didnt sleep on it so it didnt bother us. Also, sitting on the picnic bench wasnt very comfy - some camping chairs would've been better. A sweep and mop in the lodge wouldve been nice, but overall, a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The scenery was breathtaking and it felt so tranquil. The only downside was how bright it got early in the morning, but apart from that, everything was spot on.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ayton. The view from the patio door is stunning and the hot tub was such a treat! The kitchen is well-equipped despite being small and the comfy bed, TV and sofa made relaxing easy. Definitely recommended!

We stayed in this cosy little cabin recently and honestly, its pretty perfect for a quick getaway. The heater keeps it snug and its spotlessly clean which we really appreciated. The only thing wed mention is that the roof window doesnt have a blind, so in summer, it gets bright quite early. Still, its a lovely, homely space overall!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The owner was super helpful, giving us loads of tips and a handy booklet with things to do nearby. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding and the place was spotless. Were already planning to come back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Farndale pod. The views were absolutely stunning and the covered hot tub meant we could relax even in bad weather - the water was always perfectly hot. The decking was a nice touch, perfect for sitting outside and we liked having a fire pit nearby, even if we didnt end up using it because of the wind. Inside, the bed and sofa were both really comfy and the shower had great pressure with hot water every time. The fridge was a good size, not mini as we feared and the kitchen, TV and dining table all worked well. It was lovely and warm, even first thing in the morning!

We had a fantastic time at this pod. Its super clean, comfy and the views are just stunning. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! The site feels private enough to relax, but youre still close to charming villages and bigger towns if you fancy exploring. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Wed definitely come back - highly recommend it!

We spent a lovely few days from 16th to 19th April in the Leven. The pod was really comfy and felt quite luxurious. The hot tub was a real highlight! Stunning scenery around for total chill-out. The hosts were so welcoming. Well be back for sure!

We had such a lovely weekend away! The place was super cosy and perfect for relaxing. We were really pleased to find a good selection of kitchen stuff - plates, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, even a bottle and tin opener. Honestly, everything we needed was there. One small thing - we didnt think to bring any cleaning supplies for the benches, so off to Aldi we went to grab some. Also, no oven glove or tea towels, but thats no biggie - well just bring our own next time. Oh and you can buy logs for a fire too, which is a nice touch. All in all, a really great stay and wed definitely go back!
