Christine’s stay was honestly incredible. Super private, our neighbours were sheep and cows. what more could you ask for!

We had a fantastic stay at the shepherd’s hut. The views were brilliant – waking up to sheep in the field right outside and the hills in the distance was a real highlight. It’s a stunning part of the country and felt like a proper break from the usual routine. The hut itself was really well thought out. Every detail seemed to have been planned to make the place practical, comfortable, and easy to settle into. The interior was finished to a high standard and had a lot of character – it was clear a lot of care had gone into it. We really enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a great setting.

We had a wonderful stay at the Oak Retreat – a lovely hut with beautiful scenery. It had everything we needed! We were fortunate to have a dry evening to enjoy the fire pit and barbecue outside, and the log burner was great for cosy evenings inside. It was a lovely touch that they used local suppliers for some products in the hut, as well as for the welcome hamper. It was the perfect base to explore Ullswater, and to come back and cosy up after a day of walking or paddleboarding. If we’re able to return to the Lake District we’d definitely hope to stay here again!

We have a fantastic stay in the oak retreat its so peaceful and the view and surrounding area is absolutely stunning. The sheep and cows right on your door step are lovely to see when sitting relaxing with a cuppa. The shepards hut has all you need for a relaxing stay, and its a short drive to the closest town but so many more places easy to get to lots to see and do. Thank you for a very memorable holiday.

Absolutely loved this place! Great location in the lakes to get to Ullswater and Keswick. The huts are so well equipped and have everything you could need, perfect for a 3 night stay

I stayed in this stunning shepherd’s hut with my partner for my birthday, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Nestled in a peaceful corner of Cumbria, not far from the Lake District, the location was both easy to find and wonderfully secluded—perfect for a quiet escape. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The hut itself was beautifully finished and incredibly private, offering a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. The amenities were outstanding—a full kitchen stocked with every tool we could possibly need, plus a great barbecue setup that made cooking outdoors a real treat. We especially appreciated the firewood provided for both the fire pit and barbecue—it made our evenings feel extra special. The welcome pack was another lovely touch, featuring delicious artisanal bread, cereal, tea, and coffee, which made settling in that much more enjoyable. It place felt like a real home away from home, but with the added charm of nature.

We loved our stay in the Shepherds hut it was a perfect small space. Extremely cozy, well equipped and the view was stunning. Perfectly placed for trips into Penrith to attend Potfest or heading into the Lakes. Thank you for having us we hope to return.

The instructions to reach the hut were clear and easy to follow—we had no trouble finding it! We were warmly welcomed with some local food on arrival, which made the experience even more special. Everything we needed for our getaway was thoughtfully provided, including lovely shampoo and shower gel. Insect repellents were also available for outside, making it much more comfortable to relax outdoors. There is another hut on the property, but a small patch of forest between them ensured privacy and a sense of seclusion. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Recently stayed at the Oak Retreat for four days. First time I chose to stay at such a place & it didn’t disappoint. Clean, cozy & had everything my son & I needed. If there’s a place you want to visit to get away from all the noise this is it. I would certainly arrange to stay again.

Lovely shepherds hut! Beautiful location with Penrith town just a short distance away. Lovely, attentive host! We will definitely be back!
