Cosy little place on the edge of the lake district with great details. Clean, warm, hot water plus bread, tea, milk, juice, coffee, muesli and jam left for guests, even those staying a couple of nights. Highly recommend!

We had a really lovely stay in the sherpards hut and it was really private.

What a wonderful experience we’ve had at the Shepards Hut. We were deeply touched with the welcoming hamper you’d left for us, truly delicious. We’ve left today with many fond memories of our stay and can’t wait to return.

What a superbly located hut! Great river views and beautiful decking outside, it’s the perfect place for some al fresco dining, even in September, when we rented it for wedding guests. We wouldn’t hesitate to do so again!

We just wanted to say thank you for such a lovely stay we’ve had at the Elm Retreat. The welcome pack was really wonderful and thanks also for the later check out today, it was nice to have those extra hours.

All the correspondence and...
