A lovely quiet retreat away from the world. Beautiful surroundings and well equipped.

we had a delightful stay and highly recommend! Perfect for a sunny weekend. The hut is charming and the surrounds are beautiful, very private so perfect for couples. BBQ and fire pit are really easy to use, so fantastic additions. Hosts very generously left us a supply of breakfast items which was a nice touch. Lovely location, easy to explore various areas around Ullswater with starting points for hikes only a short drive away. Bed was very comfy too!

Was a great little hut to stay in for a couple days, next to everything you need for the stay is there for you already, gets hot in there at times but opening a window and letting air in sorts out the problem right away

Lovely host, very clear instructions, lovely environment and quite, spacious & got size bed (even for 6ft)! Would definitely recommend

Fantastic getaway in such a peaceful spot, hut is pleasantly spacious and has everything you could need for a good base in the lakes

We enjoyed our stay at elm retreat lovely surroundings very peaceful all we could hear were the birds whistling in the trees. The shepherds hut was clean and cosy and the food hamper was very nice. A shame no ice compartment in the fridge as the weather was extremely hot also a parasol on the outdoor decking would have been perfect. Thankyou Christine for our wedding anniversary card it was much appreciated. We would love to come back in the future.

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Elm retreat. The hut is located in an extremely peaceful setting, surrounded by greenery. Birds and the small river at the bottom of the hill are all you can hear. The hut was kitted out with some amazing local produce generously supplied by Christine. We were ideally located to explore the areas around Ullswater and Derwent Water with Penrith really close for larger shops. We left feeling really refreshed and would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway or a hub to explore the northern Lakes. Thank you, Christine!

Lovely little cabin great for somewhere to sleep and chill at night.

Definitely would recommend and would stay again

Very nice cabin with good facilities, all very clean and in good condition! Handy foldaway bed, allowing you to make the best use of the space. Small disadvantage: this does make the sofas a bit stiff. Communication with the host is good, but you receive a number of emails in advance with a lot of information, which could be a bit more compact and bundled.

I booked this hut for my girlfriend’s birthday and wow, it did not disappoint. Inside the hut was incredible, very spacious and had everything we needed and more! We literally didn’t need to bring anything. We couldn’t believe that The host left us bread, butter, jam, milk, fresh bread, muesli, tea, eggs, coffee and Cumbrian apple juice which we loved so much! The location of this hut was beautiful, we loved just sitting by the stream and listening to nature, it felt very private and secluded. We loved using the fire pit and barbecue, and all wood and coal was there to use which was brilliant. Overall I think this hut was very good value for money, and would not hesitate to come back and stay again 😊
Thank you so much again! 🙌
We even loved walking past the sheep everyday! 🐑
