An idyllic riverside retreat set in private woodland of the Blencowe Hall estate.
Bluebells, red squirrels, songbirds. The turning of the seasons as colours shift in dappled light. At night the moon rises through laced branches of blackthorn and oak and the owls hoot.
It’s so magical we want to offer you a way to linger here. Head on foot through the fields and find your glamping haven in a secluded spot along the River Petteril.
Your hut is architect-designed to enhance space and comfort. Inside, reconnect with a simpler life. There’s no Wi-Fi here, so swap stories, play cards by candlelight or read by solar power.
Enjoy complete privacy with your own Scandinavian-style shower room and open-plan kitchen with a gas hob, oven and fridge. Dine al fresco using the Weber barbeque or whip up a boutique gourmet meal using the hob and gas oven. Relax in the Adirondack chairs whilst throwing a log on the fire pit and count the stars in style.
Wander down to the riverside and relax in the Adirondack chairs reading a book, chill at the garden table, fire up the Weber charcoal barbeque or light the fire pit in the evening time.
It’s glamping with luxury – resting on crisp Egyptian cotton linen sheets, cooking on a double burner gas hob with a separate small size LPG oven, chilling the drinks in the fridge and enjoying a hot shower whilst your towels warm on the chrome towel rail and even having a regular flush loo.
The Rowan Retreat is set in a secluded part of the River Petteril valley. The Lake District National Park, beautiful Ullswater lake and Aira Force waterfall are close at hand. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of crystal-clear lakes, mirroring the Lake District Fells or seek out a peaceful retreat in nature in Rowan’s private wooded glade.

Could not recommend Christine’s place enough, especially for a romantic couples getaway. The Shepard’s Hut was easy to find thanks to Christine’s clear instructions. The bread, milk, eggs & apple juice left for us were an extra special touch & the jam was absolutely delicious. We had the most wonderful...
We love this place .. it is our second time and was as special as the first one ! The hut is perfect with all you need and impeccable! Thanks for our complementary goodies.. everything was delish !!
Beautiful and peaceful location, within easy reach of amenities and beautiful walks. Lovely seating area with sounds of the stream, perfect relaxing and private stay. Had the most lovely time! Thank you!!
We had a lovely few days at Rowan Retreat. It was very clean and so peaceful. We lit the firepit and sat eating our food at night whilst listening to the river. Would highly recommend this place as a couple. It is out of the way of the other huts...
What a lovely stay! The cabin was spacious and clean. Everything we needed they provided , the added touches of the food and bathroom products were very much appreciated. We couldn’t fault and have recommended to all family and friends! Thank you so much.
We absolutely loved our stay and would choose to book here again! The shepherds hut was so quiet and peaceful and Christine was extremely helpful when we ran out of wood for the fire.
