This is a beautifully decorated, rustic, enchanting hotel. The 400 year old building is very comfy and warm. An extremely relaxing environment. A fairytale feeling to the aptly named Wizards retreat.
Welcomed by the owner Ian and introduced to the area, given plenty of ideas for eating and day out opportunities. The suite (Merlin Suite) was extremely comfortable, warm and a delightful place to stay. Cake, biscuits, teas and coffees and toiletries all included and of a high quality. Just an absolutely delightful stay which we plan to repeat to experience one of the other suites there.

This was our second stay at the Witches Thatch. Really unique place, full of character. Ian is a great host, there to meet us when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely house.

Ian was brilliant from beginning to end, from booking to showing us around. We booked direct with Ian, so i would highly reccommend doing that. We stayed in the Wizardry & what a treat it was! So quirky & comfortable! There is lots of walks, shops,restaurants right on the door step & yet It was so peaceful We will be returning!!!!

What a wonderfully magical place to stay!! Took my family there (8 year old daughter included) and we thoroughly loved every minute! Every convenience you could want, fabulously presented in a very original and quirky way! So much to see and do both inside the rooms and outside.
Located centrally to town, there are plenty of excellent bars and restaurants to enjoy, and the Wizards Cafe for breakfast is recommended, as is a trip to the edge itself! Can't wait to visit again!!!
