A Relaxing Beach Stay

A well looked after and clean accommodation for a relaxing beach break in Stansbury, a short walk to the beach and town. We like all the little different areas to be able to sit and relax and we appreciate being able to have our pooch stay as well.

Fantastic home away from home

This property is probably the best holiday home we have stayed in. Everything you could want is there, it’s really well furnished, really clean. The garden and outdoor areas are wonderful. A really great spot to get away for a break.

Lovely getaway

Such a beautiful property with a big back yard and plenty of space to explore and play for the little one plus our pup. Rooms were comfortable and the little xmas decos all around were so cute and made our short but sweet holiday all the more special. The place was spotless & had all the basic ammenities you need.The only regret is that we didnt book more time here. We would love to come back.The hosts were also lovely and helpful.

Beautiful holiday at Sammy’s Retreat

Me and my family spent a week at Sammy’s Retreat and it was a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful getaway. We needed a break from the world for a bit and got that in the oasis of Sammy’s Retreat. My beautiful dog Ginger loved holidaying with us too❤️

Staying at Sammy's Retreat

This house and property is very clean, neat and tidy without being precious. It is comfortable and the layout is good. The back garden is delightful and there is space for everyone to find a comfy corner, including the dog.
