We loved our stay in this adorable Shepherd’s Hut. The bed was king size, very comfortable and we slept incredibly well. It is very well equipped with fridge, gas hob and cooker and was lovely and warm inside. The shower is also a good size with good pressure in the ensuite bathroom, and there is a huge space under the bed for suitcases and to tuck other things away. We would definitely stay here again as the outside space is fantastic overlooking the river with three seating areas including the BBQ area. Highly recommend.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location, very peaceful and cosy. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Needed a very well earned break and it was lovely to spend it here. Thank you Christine 😊

A stunning hut, responsive hosts and just a picturesque location!!

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.

Lovely little retreat by the water. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend. The hut is well equipped and felt private.

We had a lovely stay in the Shepards hut! Really cozy and location was fab

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 for everything Christine
