We enjoyed our stay at elm retreat lovely surroundings very peaceful all we could hear were the birds whistling in the trees. The shepherds hut was clean and cosy and the food hamper was very nice. A shame no ice compartment in the fridge as the weather was extremely hot also a parasol on the outdoor decking would have been perfect. Thankyou Christine for our wedding anniversary card it was much appreciated. We would love to come back in the future.

I could not have asked for a more peaceful getaway! – It was perfect.

The hut itself is stunning and has everything you’d possibly need.

100% recommend and already looking at going back again soon!

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay – we had a wonderful time thanks to Christine at this location. Beautifully peaceful, with everything you could need at the home, and with stunning views all around the house. You are also close to Ullswater and a river for swimming with plenty of hiking possible too.

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Elm retreat. The hut is located in an extremely peaceful setting, surrounded by greenery. Birds and the small river at the bottom of the hill are all you can hear. The hut was kitted out with some amazing local produce generously supplied by Christine. We were ideally located to explore the areas around Ullswater and Derwent Water with Penrith really close for larger shops. We left feeling really refreshed and would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway or a hub to explore the northern Lakes. Thank you, Christine!

Had a great few days at Larch Retreat, everything was as expected and the goodies on arrival were very much appreciated. Christine was very responsive to any questions we had and recommended some lovely places to eat. Will definitely return if back in the area, and would 100% recommend this beautiful and peaceful shepherds hut.

The place was perfect for a few nights stay in a peaceful location. To top it off the food and drink gifted were greatly appreciated. The multiple seating areas and the fire pit were a nice touch to sit and relax (especially with the sound of the river). We got lucky with the weather so sitting outside wasn’t a problem for us however seating inside is slightly limited, but the space used in the cabin is well thought.

What a spectacular place! Couldn’t have hoped for a better location to bring a big group of friends. We really enjoyed our stay, our dinners on the terrace, cooking in a well stocked kitchen and the amazing quiet surroundings of the Fells. A really wonderful place to stay with a large group

Wonderful place for a wedding
