Fantastic cabin for a weekend stay, very peaceful and cut off from the world. Very cosy and has everything you could need! Plenty to do nearby within driving distance. Will definitely rebook in the summer!

We had a brilliant stay at rowan retreat. Peaceful and beautiful views . Christine was a lovely host always responding quickly , we appreciated the recommendation of pubs and walks around the area and lovely breakfast foods. Fire pit was great ! Great place to stay for exploring the lakes and hiking places . Would recommend and will come stay again definitely!

What a luxurious cabin! Such a tranquil setting, with zero light pollution and the only sound being the babbling brook below. It was the perfect place to spend a quiet evening, and the welcome hamper treats were appreciated!

Amazing stay at the Rowan Retreat and couldn’t have asked for more! The place was spotless, really peaceful and beautifully done. Check-in was straightforward with plenty of thoughtful touches like locally sourced breakfast bits and loads of useful info on walks and things to do nearby. A perfect base for the Lakes, I’ll definitely be back!

Could not recommend Christine’s place enough, especially for a romantic couples getaway. The Shepard’s Hut was easy to find thanks to Christine’s clear instructions. The bread, milk, eggs & apple juice left for us were an extra special touch & the jam was absolutely delicious. We had the most wonderful experience, spending the evenings around the fire pit & making dinner on the barbecue. There are plently of places to sit outside & inside is especially cozy & welcoming. We did not want to leave & already cannot wait to return. Thank you so much for a gorgeous stay, it was the perfect place to spend my girlfriend’s birthday 🎁

I went here back in 2022, but its the one mini break I always think about.
The shepards hut we stayed in was beautiful, secluded and comfortable. And ontop of all that is eco friendly, using solar power.
At night you can look up and see the stars and constellations, its beautiful and peaceful.
We arrived to a well stocked welcome hamper and welcome card.
If you and your partner are looking for a countryside escape where no one will or can bother you then this is your place.

We love this place .. it is our second time and was as special as the first one ! The hut is perfect with all you need and impeccable! Thanks for our complementary goodies.. everything was delish !!

Beautiful and peaceful location, within easy reach of amenities and beautiful walks. Lovely seating area with sounds of the stream, perfect relaxing and private stay. Had the most lovely time! Thank you!!

We had a lovely few days at Rowan Retreat. It was very clean and so peaceful. We lit the firepit and sat eating our food at night whilst listening to the river. Would highly recommend this place as a couple. It is out of the way of the other huts and buildings and just a lovely spot. The homemade jam and bread, plus milk and eggs left in the fridge were an added bonus.
