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

We have just left the property and grounds, we had an absolutely wonderful stay – thank for your time assisting us with entry and hospitality. The hut is so lovely and the personal touches of local produce left for us was very much appreciated, we hope to visit again one day.

Christine was super communicative prior to our stay, she set our clear arrival instructions and gave us helpful tips on the local area. The cabin was delightful, we will definitely be back and would encourage others to stay there as well! Christine left us with a delicious selection of local produce including granola, eggs and fresh damson jam – an impressive touch. Location was great for us as we had a car and could navigate to local walks. A perfect stay, I only dropped a star for cleanliness due to a few cobwebs around the fireplace but we don’t mind sharing the warmth!

The whole family loved staying here. It immediately felt like home, Christine thinks of everything you could imagine to make your stay perfect. We had the most magical Christmas. The house was so comfortable and we had lots of lovely country walks .

We stayed here over Christmas and was lovely. The house is such a great place for family to get together and spend time with each other. We walked everyday from the door step and it was so peaceful and quiet. Lovely little pub down the road with great home cooked food. Christine was a great host and we loved the welcome hamper was a really thoughtful touch. If we come to Cumbria again we will definitely stay here.

We had a truly magical stay as a family and made some beautiful memories here with our two children. The hut was warm, charming, and full of thoughtful details that made us feel instantly at home. The grounds were peaceful and perfect for slowing down and enjoying time together. Christine was so welcoming and kind, helping us with entry and making us feel genuinely cared for. The lovely local produce left for us was such a thoughtful touch and meant a lot to our family. This stay will stay with us for a long time, and we hope to return one day. Thank you for sharing such a special place with us.

We enjoyed a lovely 3 night stay in this beautiful property. It had absolutely everything we needed with lovely little touches to make it a fabulous break. We will definitely return again soon. Thank you so much.

Sarah’s 30th Birthday! We have had an amazing time celebrating Sarah’s 30th birthday. Incredible house, location and facilities! Lovely touch with the hamper upon arrival, our 4 legged friends had the best time too! We can’t wait to be back, thank you!
