We had a great stay in Christine’s shepherd’s hut. The space is really functional and has lovely outdoor areas. Some very thoughtful touches like breakfast and information about what’s on locally, and it was very convenient to the lakes district with lots to do. Would absolutely recommend and stay again.

This Shepard’s hut was perfect for what my partner and I were looking for. It was an isolated hut and it was very tranquil, with the sounds of the stream and the birds. The place was very clean and we were extremely grateful for the hamper of local goodies! Thanks...

We loved the space and the view out to the sunrise and opening the window and doors evoked such a sense of being outside while doing anything inside. The gifts on arrival were lovely and generous and the area is so beautiful to explore.

I spent 4 nights staying at Hawthorn Retreat during September 2024. It was thoroughly enjoyable experience. The location is completely secluded, quiet and rural but only 6 miles from the M6 at Penrith. In the other direction, it’s only 6 miles to Pooley Bridge at the north end of Ullswater...
