The other day we rode our bikes almost to Reculver Bay and so had no energy for a swim! Beach Retreat is the most beautiful chalet and we loved every minute, especially the twice daily visit from the sea as it tapped the bottom of the gorgeous wild sea garden. We walked both directions on the beach, as well as the marshes across the road. We ate most meals on the deck - at least breakfast and dinner - and seeing both sunrise and sunset from that deck was pretty special. We had a very hot week and definitely made the most of it. Special thanks to Melinda for making our holiday one not to be forgotten! ##### suebrymer Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lincoln House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Lincoln-House.h92972192.Hotel-Information) > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > - [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > - [Glenhaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Saxmundham-Hotels-Glenhaven.h30997583.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ickworth Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-The-Ickworth-Hotel.h7509480.Hotel-Information) > - [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > - [Saffron House](https://www.expedia.ca/Fowey-Hotels-Saffron-House.h38641439.Hotel-Information) > - [Dragonfly Hotel Bury St Edmunds](https://www.expedia.ca/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-Dragonfly-Hotel-Bury-St-Edmunds.h22061.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel Fowey](https://www.expedia.ca/Fowey-Hotels-Fowey-Harbour-Hotel.h899311.Hotel-Information) > - [The Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lynton-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h15489240.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dronfield-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h4780993.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > - [Greystoke House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Greystoke-House.h29075738.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > - [The Black Horse, Climping](https://www.expedia.ca/Littlehampton-Hotels-The-Black-Horse.h101966329.Hotel-Information) > - [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > - [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > - [The Oaks](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellesmere-Hotels-The-Oaks.h27000273.Hotel-Information) > - [Aubrey Park](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Albans-Hotels-Aubrey-Park.h34347.Hotel-Information) > - [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > - [The Claremont](https://www.expedia.ca/Hove-Hotels-The-Claremont.h1653165.Hotel-Information) > - [The Trout](https://www.expedia.ca/Cockermouth-Hotels-The-Trout.h11899282.Hotel-Information) > - [Keswick, Garden Apartment for 2\.
