i think the popularity of the englishmans retreat is culturally and personality based.  a few places we have been to, on our travels, were like that.  its basically what i would describe as a 'blokey' place, lots of falang guys with thai partners.  the onsite restuarant menu reflects that too.  meaty western stuff for the men and thai food for...

Hi guys, thank you so much for your review, we tried our best with the vegetarian food, I hope it wasn't to disappointing, but you are right we don't have much call for such speciality food and I understand your predicament. In the internet era there really is no need to reserve a hotel/guesthouse unsuitable for your needs as every... More

Thanks Derek for your kind words, for future guests and your next visit, if you ask the staff for fresh chips they will do them, we nearly always have enough potatoes, we only use frozen for convenience, but fresh is not a problem, Glyn is the same as you, prefer real potato. See you soon Ornuma More

The Englishman's Retreat is a cold, stark establishment which lacks character. Although It has a pool and gym, the manager sees fit to ban their use should anyone violating even the simplist of his rules. The common area has little to offer in comfort...a few cheap folding chairs near the pool and hardly a place to walk around, Private parties... More

Although this review relates to The Retreat, the man in question never stayed here and therefore has no right to comment on my rooms' value, cleanliness or sleep quality. The man is very bitter because he was asked not to holler in the bar, he continued to holler at the top of his voice until he was eventually (but politely... More

(having leisure facilites included we are limited at what we can offer for 400bt a night) The deluxe rooms get 21' TV, s-steel bathrm fittings, large mirror, and superior... More

The prebooked airport pickup was punctual and friendly and this is a clean, well appointed and economical guest house run by a British guy and his Thai wife. Check in was quick and courteous and the room was fine. The bar and swimming pool area was pleasant although it was the wrong season for swimming. I ate thai food there... More

I found the guesthouse quite easily after never travelling to Udon Thani before. The pool is great... the meals available are also very good... if, like me you just want to kick back and relax then this place is for you. They have karaoke on a Saturday night which is very friendly and everyone has a good time. The staff... More
