We stayed at Birch Retreat for our Christmas as a family of three and we had the best Christmas ever. Birch Retreat exceeded all our expectations. It was lovely and cosy. It was always warm with central heating and a lovely log fire. Soooo many logs for the fires you will never run out. Gorgeous shower gel, shampoo and moisturiser to use. Lots of lovely towels to keep us going. Really comfortable beds. Everything you need in the kitchen. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the homemade jam was lovely. The area is lovely and quiet. There are 2 other cabins in view. Birch Retreat is on the end next to woodland and a river which was perfect for us as it gave us our own little private walk which our daughter loved each day. There is a lovely pub a quick walk down the road. We were sorry to leave, we had such a lovely peaceful time. Christine was a great attentive host. We hope to return and stay again! Thank you x

an absolutely stunning stay, with the brook just below, trees all around and of course a beautiful hut. plenty of storage for bags and rucksacks under the bed. gorgeous spots on the decking to read and have the fire going. easy walk to local pubs as well as short drive to lakes.

Relaxing stay, in beautiful well layed out cottages & gardens with wonderful views. The host (Christine) was extremely helpful, informative and prompt to reply. The welcome hampers were fabulous. We would definitely return.

We had an absolutely lovely time at the rowan retreat, it was such a lovely privet cabin with all we could need, we had some local treats upon our arrival which were completely unexpected but a super touch. Christine communicated clearly with us if there were any issues and sent over recommendations of what to do in the area which was helpful. could not recommend booking here enough. Thank you!!

We have a fantastic stay in the oak retreat its so peaceful and the view and surrounding area is absolutely stunning. The sheep and cows right on your door step are lovely to see when sitting relaxing with a cuppa. The shepards hut has all you need for a relaxing stay, and its a short drive to the closest town but so many more places easy to get to lots to see and do. Thank you for a very memorable holiday.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Hawthorne Retreat. Beautiful location overlooking the river, lots of private outdoor seating and decking areas. Great amenities such as the BBQ & log burner! This place exceeded our expectations and it was such a great location to stay to explore the Lake District. The welcome hamper was a lovely addition to the Sheppards hut providing fantastic local produce and the lovely Rowley’s Estate home made raspberry jam. Safe to say that we will be returning in the future. This is a perfect stay for 2 people! Couldn’t recommend anymore. Christine was very helpful and responsive with any questions we had and was always happy to help if needed.
