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!

Thank you Christine for a lovely short stay at Jenny’s Croft. It was a perfect stop off for us. A generous welcome hamper, the house was very clean and comfortable and the gardens well kept.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location, very peaceful and cosy. Couldn’t have asked for much more. Needed a very well earned break and it was lovely to spend it here. Thank you Christine 😊

Great place with good amenities and location.

Absolutely fantastic place! Been twice in 2015 and 2025 and both occasions were brilliant.
You need to go to believe how lovely the place is, well worth a visit with friends and family. Get it booked!

Larch Retreat was a fantastic little Shepherd’s Hut with everything you could possibly need. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and there’s thorough documentation about both the hut and the surrounding area. The kitchen is a great size and was stocked with lovely homemade jam, bread, and granola on arrival – such a nice touch. The log burner made it feel incredibly cosy, and everything was spotless and comfortable. I genuinely couldn’t fault the experience. From booking to checkout, Christine was clear, helpful, and a pleasure to communicate with.

Had a lovely stay with family and dogs, property was perfect for us, great location with walks on the doorstep and lots of fun days out. Local village bakery is very handy. Christine’s communication was excellent.

A stunning hut, responsive hosts and just a picturesque location!!

an absolutely stunning stay, with the brook just below, trees all around and of course a beautiful hut. plenty of storage for bags and rucksacks under the bed. gorgeous spots on the decking to read and have the fire going. easy walk to local pubs as well as short drive to lakes.

The owner was fantastic throughout and provided detailed instructions on how to find it, kept in regular contact up to and throughout the visit to make it even better. Absolute 10/10 service. The shepherds hit itself was pristinely clean, with an amazing location and well stocked – even supplying essentials!
