A very restful stay
We very much enjoyed staying at Walker's retreat. We booked it last minute and so were not expecting the level of quality we received. We even decided to stay an extra night, and Samantha and Alex were very accommodating and quick to respond. The place was peaceful and though small, did not feel as such as it was fully equipped with all you could need. The bed was huge and very comfortable, and a lovely downstairs shower was also appreciated. Lots of extra little touches that made the stay feel special. Would definitely recommend.
