Absolutely loved my stay at Larch Retreat!! Very peacefully environment, with good amenities! Lots to do nearby!! Climbed Grisdale Pike and Skiddaw, went mountain biking round Whinlatter Forest and even stayed in and baked some bread too! Would definitely recommend and book again!!

Such a lovely space to stay! When we got there there was such lovely local produce out for us and the place was just perfect. We went in February so made good use of the log burner and was just the perfect get away! Christine was very helpful and friendly with lots of local recommendations and easy to reach if needed! Couldn’t recommend more!

Always our go to place when we visit

We lived our stay here, the most peaceful location and perfect distance from the nearest town for shops etc. The added touch of local produce and necessities already in the hut made us feel very welcome.

Very good lived up too the expectations!

5 stars!

We had an incredible 4-day stay in this superb shepherd’s hut in the Lake District. It was the perfect escape from London quiet, secluded, peaceful, with only fields, hills and sheep around. You sleep like a baby. The hut is spotless, well insulated, modern, smartly designed, yet still feels authentic and cosy. The bed is very comfortable and large (king size) and the kitchen has everything you need, even better than at mine. The bathroom is surprisingly luxurious with a great shower (not a crappy mouldy plastic one) and all toiletries you will need. The central heating system is super modern, and we were always warm after our hikes. Christine is a great host: responsive, warm, and so professional. She had the log burner ready for us to light on arrival, a 5 star touch after a cold wet day and a 6-hour drive. Christine also offered early check-in and late checkout. Honestly, this place made our trip. A perfect retreat I can only strongly recommend. Thank you, Christine! Isa & Cat x

Honestly, this place made our trip. A perfect, calm retreat — highly recommended. Thank you, Christine!

We had the most wonderful stay in the lovely farmer’s hut during our weekend trip to the Lake District. From the moment we booked, Christine and her team made everything incredibly easy for us, the communication, directions, and thoughtful touches meant we didn’t even need to reach out for help once. Everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully looked after. The hut itself was cosy, spotless, and set in such a peaceful and private spot that it felt like the perfect countryside escape. You can really tell how much care and pride Christine’s team puts into making sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend, and we can’t wait to come back💚

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. The hut was a cosy spot for our spontaneous weekend away. We can’t thank you enough!
