Very nice little cabin in the woods feels very private and cozy. Lots of very nice walks close by just a short drive. Christine was also very helpful providing all the information timely, it made the whole stay very enjoyable and relaxing.

We had an amazing stay. The place is so cosy and beautifully situated, with gorgeous surroundings and a perfect location. We really appreciated all the lovely little touches, especially the welcome package with fresh bread, jam, coffee and other things – such a thoughtful touch.

The BBQ and outdoor seating...

Oak Retreat was a peaceful, private and amazing place to spend the weekend away from the city. This was not your usual countryside retreat however, the place feels like a home with it’s own personality and we were extremely impressed with how everything was organised and how clean things were....
