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

Lovely stay, good location and facilities.

Fantastic stay, great house

Me and my boyfriend came for our anniversary and it was so lovely! Christine and the team made our stay feel like a home away from home. The welcome bundle was super convenient and thoughtful – meaning we didn’t have to think about running to the shops when we first got there for the essentials. The location was extremely private and had a gorgeous view of the fells. This location was also perfect as it was a 10 min drive from Penrith and was also easily accessible from the main road into the lakes. Would definitely recommend a stay here! 🙂

Great host and great place to stay.

Beautiful house and location, high quality furnishings and fittings which makes it feel homely instead of a typical holiday let. Best fully equipped kitchen you could ask for, the welcome basket was like something from Fortnum and Mason and a wonderful surprise. The garden is enclosed for dogs and their private woodland adjacent to the property was fantastic for the dogs to explore, it was fenced on the perimeter which ensured they never went near neighbouring sheep. Nice local pub, great Sunday lunch but make sure you book. The village bakery and cafe looked nice but the pub won our custom. We visited in December so did not use the garden furniture or bbq equipment which looked good quality, we did however use the wood provided for the log burner in the lounge which was lovely. We would love to return to this or any of their other properties in the area.

Tastefully furnished, extremely well appointed and ideal location for the Lake District and great places to eat nearby. First rate.

Thank you Christine and team, my husband and I had a wonderful stay at your lovely hut. The views were beautiful, the hut was cosy and warm. All communication with us was excellent and very clear instructions. We would absolutely recommend a stay here. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to return! Thank you.

6 of us + dogs stayed for a long weekend. Probably the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Christine was very helpful through the whole booking process, the cottage was superb inside and very warm & cosy. Beds great, showers hot & powerful & everything thought of. Good pub 1/2 mile away. We will be back!

We had a lovely stay at Todd Hills Farm with all the family, great location, lovely views and ideal space for all of us and the dogs to spend the weekend together. Exactly as it said on the listing and Christine couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definately be looking to book again in the future.
