About Southwell Retreat
This peaceful and secluded setting is the perfect place to relax and spend time with loved ones. Just a 15 minute walk from Southwell town centre with charming pubs and shops, you will have everything you need within easy reach. The site features three pods, Daisy, Lily and Blubell, each including a cosy, modern interior to sleep up to four people with a double bed and sofa bed. You will also have a kitchenette including an electric hob, kettle, sink, toaster and fridge freezer, so you have all of the essentials for self-catering. There's also a dining table with four chairs along with underfloor heating, perfect for those cooler months. You will also have your own ensuite with a toilet, shower and washbasin, so there is no need to leave the warmth of your cosy accommodation. A fourth pod named Rosy offers you all the same luxury as the previous three but has a king-size bed and infrared heating. Bluebell pod and Rosy pod also have a log-burning hot tub! Bedding, towels and toiletries are all provided. Outside is a picnic table with the option to hire a BBQ or fire pit if you wish, perfect for nights of toasting marshmallows. Three pods welcome one small, well-behaved dog so that you can bring your pooch on holiday with you. The other pod is pet-free.
