The Retreat

The Retreat is an early Victorian domestic dwelling built around 1860, located on the Rosneath Peninsula within the Victorian burgh of Cove and Kilcreggan.

The garden is designed around a dramatic gully with a serpentine path which follows Aidens burn for some 930 feet as it runs out into the Firth of Clyde. The garden is in contrast with the house itself which though small in scale offers pleasing architectural features whilst carrying a unique social history. As the restoration continues the next stage will be the conversion of an outbuilding into an artist’s studio and gallery.

Entry from Temperance Brae beside the bus stop off Shore Road. Pop up kitchen serving free coffees, tea and homemade scones. Donations welcome.
