  For the price you pay, I am expecting more, and coming from places like Rocky Hills Retreat and Thalia Haven, this one just doesn't quite cut it, and I thought it'd be best to present an alternative review here for other users, since the last one I see on TA is in 2015 and all seem to be extremely favourable.

  Decided to give up one night's stay here, and move to our next destination (Launceston) a day earlier to get more mileage out of our holiday.

  We had a fantastic stay, the house is everything we need, warm, well equipped and views to die for. We loved cosying up by the fire while the kids even managed to swim at the freezing beach. We got lucky winter weather with the sun coming out both days. The last review is a bit mis-guided, Falmouth is a quite town, one we visit annually for exactly that. The main living area does not have blinds, but because the house is elevated neighbours would not be able to see in. The bedrooms have block-out blinds. Thank you Select Retreats for your fantastic hospitality. Will hope to return soon.

  The place is a disappointment. Generally it feels cold, there's not much character or personality and the bedroom is really plain. The view is excellent but there are houses next to you and not much privacy. Kitchen is decently equipped and dining room is decent, but that's about it. There seems to be a lot of rules, things are not quite in ample supply - e.g. no phone, internet is limited, only 4 Nespresso coffee pods provided. You don't feel the generosity or human touch here.

  The location is not that great - far from attractions (key attractions like Bay of Fires is over an hour's drive away) and main towns, yet none of the privacy or seclusion that would make it special.
