G2, Extra Room & Interior Design Studio

by Louisa (Louisa Tudor)

Fantastic Room in a little London garden!

We now have an amazing room at the bottom of our garden that fits in beautifully and feels as though it has been there for ever. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the entire process was very straightforward.

G3, Garden Gym For Personal Training Business

by E Fisher (Diva Fitness)

Excellent choice of supplier for my Garden Studio! So pleased

Green Retreats deserve every single one of my star ratings! They have been very professional right from the start, from welcoming me to their warehouse to helping me make the right choice through to a fabulous installation. The finished studio is amazing, a top quality build and the installation teams were timely, polite and very hard-working.

G3, Home Gym

by Alexa Garthwaite

Fantastic product and service to match

We had a 3.5m by 5m garden studio installed last month and we are delighted with the result. We are using it as a home gym and love the extra space it has given us! The building also looks fantastic at the bottom of our garden. Green retreats have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. In summary I have been very impressed by both the product and the service provided by green retreats and highly recommend!
