After exploring the nearby Lake District National Park, come back to this peaceful shepherd’s hut and relax in privacy with just the birds and other wildlife for company.
Larch Retreat has a double bed, a hand-painted kitchen with a SMEG gas hob and full size Bosch oven, a refrigerator and wifi. The bed folds up revealing a lift up handmade oak dining table with storage cupboards under the upholstered bench seating.
This custom designed hut was carefully designed and made by our team at The Rowley Estates on site at Blencowe Hall. It is insulated with locally sourced sheep’s wool and has heating and a warming towel rail. The ensuite shower room is equipped with a chrome shower with hot running water and a plumbed WC and basin.
In the summer, keep the doors open and enjoy dining al fresco in the private woodland glade overlooking the peaceful green fields and beautiful Lake District fells.
Nestled in your private woodland clearing, you’ll enjoy a backdrop of the North Lake fells. Inside this traditional shepherd’s hut, a full-size double bed with feather down duvet and pillows ensure cozy nights by the wood burner. The bijoux kitchen allows for delightful culinary experiments, and for a rustic touch, there’s a fire pit and Weber charcoal grill for campfire cookery.
A world of natural wonders beckons in the Northern Lake District National Park and Eden Valley. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of crystal-clear lakes, mirroring towering peaks. Discover cycling adventures through lush woodlands and meandering trails or hike up Aira Force discovering hidden waterfalls and cool plunge pools.
Whether you seek the thrill of exploration or the tranquility of a secluded woodland hideaway, Larch Retreat offers it all. Every day is a new adventure, and every evening is a relaxing respite by the log burning stove or outdoor fire pit.

Very good lived up too the expectations!

We had an incredible 4-day stay in this superb shepherd’s hut in the Lake District. It was the perfect escape from London quiet, secluded, peaceful, with only fields, hills and sheep around. You sleep like a baby. The hut is spotless, well insulated, modern, smartly designed, yet still feels authentic...

We had the most wonderful stay in the lovely farmer’s hut during our weekend trip to the Lake District. From the moment we booked, Christine and her team made everything incredibly easy for us, the communication, directions, and thoughtful touches meant we didn’t even need to reach out for help...
