"The Retreat" Barrington
The property is located in a beautiful country near to Gloucester (assuming the river crossings are not too high to cross as they were when we were there which added another 20mins to the drive to town), however the main attractions of Barrington Tops are still over an hours drive away. Gloucester Tops was also inaccessible when we were there. I dint think this is unusual as the area gets a lot of rainfall and crossings quickly become impassable.The house is interesting, secluded and has stunning views. The layout of the house is unusual as 2 of the bedrooms are semi separate to the house which is fine for adults, however possibly wouldn't suit families with young children. This is not made clear on the listing. The house has fans, however has no air-conditioning which makes it uncomfortable as we had 35 degree days in March.Overall a beautiful property, however there is not much to do there.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025
