My partner and I had the most memorable anniversary trip at The Partridge Retreat. We stayed for two nights in their stunning Quintessential Quail pod, and it was the perfect escape.

The Quintessential Quail pod itself was beyond our expectations. It had an incredibly high-end finish, with every detail thoughtfully considered. From the sleek interiors to the locally sourced shampoo and conditioner, everything has been thought about. It truly felt like luxury in the heart of nature.

One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking sunset view from our pod. Each evening, we were treated to a spectacular display of colours as the sun dipped below the horizon, creating the perfect backdrop for a quiet evening with a glass of wine. It was a moment we won’t forget.

The location of the retreat is also ideal. It’s just a short drive from the beach, making it easy to enjoy a lovely stroll by the sea with our dog. Speaking of our dog, we were thrilled that the owners had even thought of our furry friend, leaving a little welcome treat for him on arrival. It made our stay feel even more special.

Of course, the hot tub was another major highlight.

One thing we wished we had known before we booked was just how locally sourced the food pack 'add on' are at The Partridge Retreat. Along with your booking, you can opt for breakfast and BBQ packs, which include fresh, locally sourced eggs, meats etc. The breakfasts are the perfect way to start your day, and the BBQ packs feature high-quality meats, some of which come from their very own working farm. The next time we stay we will be adding these on for sure!

Overall, our stay at The Partridge Retreat was nothing short of magical. From the luxurious pod and incredible sunset views to the personalised touches from the owners, everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a peaceful, high-end retreat with a personal touch, we can’t recommend it enough. We’ll definitely be back!
