What visitors say
Based on recent Google reviewsThe Retreat's sauna and steam rooms draw praise, and massage quality is consistently strong. However, cleanliness lapses (used towels, blocked drains, empty amenities) and administrative failures (packages not properly booked, treatments at risk of being missed) undermine the experience across multiple visits. Reception often runs stretched with a single staff member. Reviewers feel the pricing, around £120 for a package, does not match the operational inconsistency, despite the potential the venue clearly has. The massages alone may be worth a visit, but expect to manage your own experience carefully.
