Absolutely perfect weekend away to celebrate my other half’s birthday and the house exceeded our expectations for the occasion. Incredible house, facilities and lovely touches from the host who has been so helpful throughout. Already planning our next trip to come back! Thank you Christine.

A really stunning property, complete with so many lovely little touches. Can’t recommend enough!

Our high expectations prior to going were exceeded on arrival. What a wonderful place. Beautiful inside and out and the owners have clearly gone to a lot of thought and time making sure everything was there for the ease and comfort of guests. Would absolutely recommend for a family or group gathering. Huge thanks to everyone concerned.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gill Beck Barn – the house was beautiful and the welcome basket was such a treat to arrive to! Thank you so much for everything!!

What an amazing place this is. Staying in a castle is so magical. All the rooms are different but equally luxurious. It’s an ideal location for a large group – we take our yoga groups here and the dedicated yoga room is great. The owners could not be any more helpful and kind too. Thank you Christine and the team.

My husband and I stayed at the Birch Retreat a week ago and it was a fantastic stay. Lovely and cozy, with the fire roaring as it was minus temperatures outside. The shephards hut is located in the middle of a beautiful forest, which added to the cozy asthetic. Perfectly well equipt with everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back to stay again!

We are repeat visitors to Stag Cottage and we have always found it to be a most welcoming and super – cosy place to stay. We visit in November and it is warm and snug throughout with an endless supply of logs for the beautiful wood burning stove .
Six of us and our dog always find the facilities to be exceptional! We are always sad to leave and eager to return.
Melmerby is a gorgeous village with a pub and lovely eatery within walking distance. Both short and longer walks are available through the outstanding local scenery.
Christine and her team go out of their way to be welcoming and attentive, nothing is too much trouble and their welcome hamper plus the information they provide about the cottage and its environment are of the highest standard .
We are already looking forward to our visit next year !

What a great little find this shepherd hut is, tucked away in the woods amongst beautiful surroundings, lovely and peaceful. The shepherds hut was immaculate and had everything we needed, the welcome pack was exceptional. Christine was a fantastic host and communicated all the way up to our stay with local attractions and amenities in the area. Would definitely stay again, thank you again for a wonderful weekend.

I had an amazing time spending a few nights at Maple Retreat! Christine was an excellent host and the space was clean, cozy and had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. The location was so beautiful and waking up to the snowy mountains and grazing sheep felt like a dream! Thank you again Christine!

We had a wonderful family weekend at Hause Hall and would recommend it to others who love wonderful Lakeland countryside, coupled with high quality accommodation. We ranged in ages from 3 years to 70 years and every one of us had a fun and relaxing break. The welcome package was a very thoughtful extra treat.
