Your Stay
The Retreat offers a truly exceptional and distinctively unique experience. Despite its lavish qualities of a manor house, we have intentionally preserved the warm and inviting ambiance of a cherished family home, as it always has been. Whether you are here for a vacation, a family retreat, or a special celebration, your time spent at The Retreat is designed to feel like a true home away from home.
With six luxurious bedroom suites, the property comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. Begin your day with a cup of coffee in the morning room, followed by a friendly game of croquet on the lawn. Alternatively, unwind in the gardens while reading a book. As the evening approaches, you can gather in the elegant drawing room, followed by a delightful dinner served in the dining room. For those seeking an elevated dining experience, private catering can be arranged and is exceptionally popular.

Chance brought me to The Retreat at Laurel Walk, and I’m glad it did. I booked the incredible historic home to be the center base for a work project, and The Retreat indeed served as our “center.” It was a place we could gather easily, and we found its joyful warmth restorative for our long days. Miriam, the owner, has everything you need to feel comfortable. If not, she’ll have information close at hand, including a personal chef who made us an unforgettable local gourmet meal for 16 people. The home and grounds are incredibly gorgeous and capture country life lived the right way. In the days following my visit, I wished I had booked one more day to enjoy the home without work on my mind – to read a book curled up on the couch, to enjoy a glass of wine on a chaise lounge out on the lawn, and such. I hope chance brings me back to The Retreat, but this time, for fun and family time.
