Hallam Retreat Reviews

Where do I even start? This is genuinely the most incredible house I have ever seen. What an amazing find. Everything about the property, from the house itself to the way it was presented, felt like real premium luxury. We had an absolutely incredible weekend celebrating my wifes 30th birthday, and the whole experience was nothing short of perfect. The host was so accommodating and understanding, and really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. We had the most amazing weekend and made some unforgettable memories. If I could rate it any higher, I would. Look no further, you will not be disappointed!

House was great for big groups, highly recommend.
We had a marvellous time, perfect for a family with 7 children aged 517, lots of things to do. The owners were very helpful and friendly.
This is a fantastic property. Ideal for a multigenerational family get together. 6 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of space to spread out comfortable rooms and great outdoor space where the children could play and adults could enjoy a barbecue. The pool was a great hit. It was a great location with attractions including the Heights of Abraham and the tramway museum a short drive away. The children also loved the Bluebell dairy with indoor and outdoor play areas and delicious icecream. One evening we arranged for a private chef to cook for us. A great option we can thoroughly recommend chef Alpay. Thank you to Nick who made us so welcome in his home.
