Third year in a row we have stayed here, only 200 mtrs to the inlaws. Great place, very good meals and excellent service, we took the bigger room this time, not too far to town if you have own transport and not too far in a tuk-tuk if you haven't. more

I've been staying at the Retreat for the past 5 months, on a monthly rate - just 4000bt. My uncle Tom wrote a review when we first got here in March. After 5 months you could say I know the place and the staff pretty well. The Retreat is very professionally run, the staff have all been here over a... more

There is little peace and quite as the walls are thin with dogs barking all night and then bells chime early in the morning. We were also extremely disappointed that the "room" was very small, just enough for a smallish double bed with the just enough room to walk around the two sides and bottom.

I travel to Udon every 3 months or so, and am so glad I found this little bit of heaven.

The bar prices for food and drink are very reasonable.The pool is kept very clean and there is a gym with sufficient... more

The Englishman's Retreat, unlike its serene name is anything but relaxing. The eccentric owner treats guests as an imposition on his private kingdom. You will find rules posted everywhere about everything and you will face constant confrontation by him and his staff. You will be prepaying your entire reservation in advance, then after you have paid, you will be asked... more

Only down point is that Glyn does everything while his wife just sits there talking to her Thai friends and ignores... more

Stayed in Udon Thani for about a week and stayed at the Englishman`s Retreat for the whole time. Got picked up and dropped off by Glen who is the owner of the place and a great bloke. The place was reasonably priced, loved the food and the service was great. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Udon Thani... more
