Ross Bay Retreat has become my favourite place in the world to be. The view across the bay is amazing and we could sit and watch the sea birds for hours. i would recommend taking a good pair of binoculars. The cottage is very spacious, clean and the kitchen is well stocked with all the pans and utensils you need. We were welcomed with a delicious cake and ice cream. This was our third stay at Ross Bay and it won't be out last.

Our family has been coming to Ross Bay for over 10 years now and can not fault the accommodation, location and hosts. Perfect place to unwind with loads of lovely beaches, walks in the area. Looking forward to our next stay.

We had a fantastic week in the Dairy House. What an amazing place and location I have never stayed anywhere as nice as this place. The house is spotless very big and the warmest house I have ever stayed in. The Lemon drizzle cake and ice cream on arrival was delicious! It is so dog friendly the garden is really secure, our dog loved all the local walks, we used to walk over the hill to Brighouse Bay beach and most days we had it to ourselves. On an evening we used to spend it sat in the retreat room watching the amazing wildlife and loved seeing the deer walk by. Sue the owner is a...more

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely hut on the farm. It was tranquil, private and very special. Sue was so welcoming and accommodating, which started our short 2 night stay off perfectly. We ended up staying a 3rd night, due to a storm hitting the morning we were to leave we. It was fun hunkering down, cosily watching telly, and reading while winds blew. The underfloor heating kept us warm. The main day of our stay was gorgeously sunny.

Overall very good cottage, excellent dog friendly garden. Would benefit from blackout curtains in bedroom, garden umbrella and grab rail to ease getting out of bath
