Probably the best place I’ve stayed on AirBnb so far. I’m currently writing a book and this place was the perfect location. Great WiFi, very cosy but also very secluded.

The welcome treats were also a lovely touch. Thank you guys, I’ll be back!

We had a lovely time. Such a relaxing setting.

We really enjoyed our stay in this secluded, cosy cabin. An excellent host, with proactive, clear instructions. Exactly what was needed for a stress free hiking trip to the Lake District. Would highly recommend.

Oak Retreat was a peaceful, private and amazing place to spend the weekend away from the city. This was not your usual countryside retreat however, the place feels like a home with it’s own personality and we were extremely impressed with how everything was organised and how clean things were. Everything you need is here along with some bonus extras such as bread, eggs, milk and jam! Not to mention the nice little touch of a later checkout that we received on the last night of our stay. We did not get chance to use the BBQ but made full use of the fire, indoor and outdoors which were very simple to use and our first one was already set up. I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs a digital detox and some peace and quiet in a private setting! Thank you very much Christine for making us feel very welcome and the effort put in to making it more than just your average countryside getaway!

The larch was an amazing stay and offered a brilliant view of the planetary parade, solar eclipse, periods peak during our stay.

Somehow even better than the pictures! We have stayed in a lot of shepherds hut and I think this is the best one… amazing location in a very private area where you feel in the middle of the woods!
Very clean.
The shepherds hut has 3 different outside areas – outside the hut table and chairs, a fire pit area and a separate area close to a stream you can hear and relax.
Fantastic for anytime of year.
The hut had everything you need, I would definitely return if in the area again.

We stayed here for a week whilst we explored the Lake District, it was a fantastic shepherds hut to stay in, with all the things we needed throughout our stay! It was private, secluded and peaceful which made for a truly wonderful nature experience! Would 100% recommend staying here and we would hope to stay again another time!

Absolutely loved this place, was exactly what I was looking for. Everything we needed in this cosy shepherds hut with a nice location to explore the Lake District by car everyday and come home to a cosy secluded shepherds hut in a little woods with stunning view. A lot of shops in Penrith just 10 minute drive away for anything you need as well as the beautiful welcome package left by Christine with bread, butter, eggs, milk, muesli, Jam, tea, coffee made breakfast very easy for us each morning. Visited the Lake District a few times now and this has been my favourite place I’ve stayed.

Everything was great and better than i expected.
Thanks Christine for everything

A stunning home in a beautiful location. The house is very comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything that you could possibly think of… and more! An amazing welcome hamper of delicious local goodies was waiting for us on arrival which was extremely generous. The rooms and facilities were beautifully furnished and spacious. Christine is a wonderful host and we would highly recommend Glassonby Old Hall to anyone.
