I couldn’t have improved on this place if I’d tried. It’s so beautiful, the house is stunning, the area is stunning, it made for the most perfect birthday weekend c

We had the most incredible peaceful stay in this beautiful shepherd’s hut. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect escape — quiet, cosy, and surrounded by stunning scenery. The hut itself was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Every little detail had clearly been thought about, making it feel both luxurious and homely at the same time.
Waking up to the peaceful surroundings and relaxing in such a tranquil setting was exactly what we needed. We left feeling completely refreshed and already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside getaway!

beautiful Airbnb, in a great location – really peaceful and the Christine was a very helpful host

Thank you for a great stay. The hut was filled with local products which we really appreciated. The local area is very calm with lots of walks and pubs to visit

Absolutely beautiful place, gorgeous surroundings.
Everything so well thought out – from the layout of the rooms, tasteful decor, to the linen, towels and makeup flannels! A well stocked welcome hamper awaited us on arrival with locally sourced produce.
Host Christine was on hand to answer any queries we had around check in and check out.
We will definitely be returning – a new favourite to add to our lakes list!

Stunning accommodation in a peaceful area. Everything you need for a comfortable self catering stay. Easy check in and check out. Easy to find. Some essentials left for our arrival which was a nice touch.

Beautiful stay! Being able to hear the river when you open the bedroom window was so relaxing and felt so secluded. The selection of local produce that was left for us was amazing and we ate it for breakfast each day. Our first time in the Lake District and we will definitely be back to see more.

Amazing stay at Hawthorn Retreat, so cosy and the hosts are wonderful. I highly recommend staying at any of the locations as we’ve stayed in 2 shepherds huts now and well definitely be back

Christine, Charlie and their team were absolutely fantastic and words can’t describe how beautiful Blencowe Hall is. The views are incredible and the property is stunning, it’s clear that a great deal of thought has been put into the restoration. The property was extremely well equipped with everything we needed to host a very special weekend. Thank you so much for sharing this special place!

We had a lovely time, the place is very cosy and in a stunning location overlooking rolling hills. A perfect private getaway.
