“Absolute Bliss!!”
Absolutely love staying at Clarendon forest retreat, this was our fourth time back here and it never disappoints. This time we were here amidst the floods but Clare and Shaun couldn’t have been more accommodating or thoughtful keeping us up to date with flood warning info and allowing us early access and late check out if needed. The house was lovely and warm and cosy by the fire and it was just the break we needed. Thank you so much, we will be back!
