We had a wonderful and peaceful 4 night escape here. We were treated with some homemade plum jam, bread, muesli and other lovely supplies that meant breakfast was sorted for our entire stay. Eve try thing in the hut was so thought-out and there was plenty of space for the two of us. Outdoor area was amazing and offered 3 more spaces to unwind listening yo the sound of the river. We can’t wait to visit again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Wythburn cottage the house is spacious with plenty of room to relax inside and out with beautiful gardens and a choice of outdoor spaces. The house was spotless with everything at hand – all locally sourced including our delicious hamper selection and the shower gels and body lotions. A short drive to shops stunning walks and days out. We will definitely be back.

Had a very relaxing weekend getaway in the Lake District thanks to Christine & her team making it so easy to arrive, check in & relax straight away.
Such a lovely touch that the owner left some local produce in the retreat for us after a long drive up to the Lakes. Would definitely highly recommend.

Birch Retreat is such a beautiful place to stay. It is located in a peaceful and quiet forest in Melmerby. It was just what my family and I needed. If you are looking for a special place to have a holiday then this should be on your list.

The shepherd’s hut itself has been carefully designed and is well built. We had all the things we needed. It is part of the Rowley Estates and the hosts are helpful, generous and responsive. I am looking forward to returning when I get the chance.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The hut was cosy and nothing short of what it was described as, with a peaceful surrounding next to a lovely river. The outdoor space was perfect. Upon arrival we had a tiny issue with the door to the hut, but Christine was so helpful and sent someone out in 5 minutes, who fixed the problem straight away. Such a lovely time and friendly host, would 100% recommend and revisit in the future.

We had such a lovely break at Christine’s place – excellent location with everything you need for a quiet, cosy retreat (including food essentials kindly left out for us). Highly recommend!

Lovely place to stay, super clean and the host was helpful.

What an amazing place. Christine was a great host and kept us updated with all the relevant information we needed.
Absolutely stunning house and grounds. Family trip away. We stayed 4 night, 14 people and 4 dogs. It suited all our needs. So much space inside and out. The house was spotlessly clean and decor was beautiful . It had everything we needed. Every bedroom had its own bathroom, and beds were comfy . The hamper that was left for us all was amazing and so thoughtful. All in all an absolutely wonderful place to stay. I would definitely recommend .

Really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful. Directions were easy to follow and the cabin made our stay in the Lake District!

The house and facilities are all excellent. Having the village just a short walk away is great and access to the area is very good. Christine is very contactable and I would recommend this property to anyone.
