We had a really lovely stay at Christine’s place!

We had a wonderful stay, the location was idyllic. It was so peaceful and secluded, the bed was comfortable and the hut had everything you could need. It was easy to find, Christine sent very clear instructions and some recommendations of things to see and do in the local area. The property was easy to access and the EV charger was incredibly handy. Breakfast items were provided, artisan bread and muesli, local eggs and organic juice, tea and coffee all very much appreciated our first morning after a long drive. I would highly recommend a stay here if you’re looking for peace and quiet, a very comfortable stay with a surprisingly good shower after a day out exploring the lake District.

We were welcomed with a very lovely locally sourced breakfast hamper that had all the essentials you required to get you through the first few days of breakfast. The location was as pictured and described such a great location for a long weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Christine was very responsive to any messages sent during our stay, nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend these properties for a romantic or just a simple get away from it all weekend. Will definitely be returning in the future.

We had a lovely time at Elm Retreat!
From start to finish the booking was really easy. Lots of communication from Christine and her team. Any questions quickly answered! They still do a lovely wee welcome hamper pack with their own raspberry jam, local bread. Apple juice, muesli, tea , coffee, butter and milk. Very small hiccup on the first night when it wasn’t there for the morning so we assumed it would appear the next day, but when it didn’t, as soon as we messaged to ask, they sorted it right away, so don’t hesitate to contact, they absolutely couldn’t be nicer. The bed was super comfy and there is a nice clean bathroom with shower. Lots of seating options just outside the hut , or down at the fire or river. A very nice relaxing place to chill. Highly recommend you treat yourself to a visit! Lots of places nearby to visit too!

Christine is a fabulous host. Very responsive and she provided exceedingly clear instructions. The hut was perfectly located, in a very quiet area, and access to a ‘private’ stream. It was perfect for a girls hiking getaway, close to Ullswater and Derwentwater. Couldn’t have asked for a better option for me and my bestie to go away for a hiking trip. The coffee, homemade jam and sourdough were a wonderful and very much appreciated touch.

Had a fantastic time here. The peace and quiet was exactly what we needed. Clean & tidy and very cosy.

We are returning guests to Elm Retreat, and we would come back again! Christine was helpful and the place was perfect.

We had such a lovely few nights stay at Elm Retreat. Everything we needed was supplied and Christine was so lovely in her communication. We would love to visit again!

High recommend! Such a peaceful and quaint location and the perfect getaway to shut off and really relax. Christine was also really on hand to help with any queries we had. We had the most gorgeous stay and will definitely look to come back in future. Thank you!
