Christine’s place was perfect for a midweek getaway. Located close to the motorway and easy to find, the location still manages to feel secluded, offering a quiet and peaceful retreat in a cosy shepherd’s hut stocked with delicious local goods for breakfast and locally made toiletries. The hut was a short walk down a track but a cart was provided to transport any luggage. Christine was communicative and provided plenty of information both about the property but also things to do in the local area.

We had a great few days in the lakes with all the main visitor places within easy driving distance from the hut. The directions to where the hut was located were very easy to follow and the parking area is a couple of minutes walk, with the use of a cart to help you take all your items to the hut. The hut is right next to the river and the stream can be seen flowing past. Christine and the team have thought of everything that you might need whilst you stay and the locally provided breakfast items were a nice touch, but if you have forgotten something or need some help then they were quick to reply with all requests. The hut is completely off the main grid and also there is very little phone signal, which makes it a very relaxing stay as you’re not being distracted by your phone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone that wants to get away for a few days and spend some time relaxing.

Beautiful spot!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Rowan Retreat. The accommodation was spotless and we‘ve never stayed at a place that was so thoughtfully stocked. The breakfast items were local and high-quality. Christine was very friendly and provided helpful and detailed information prior to our arrival. I‘d definitely recommend staying here.

We had a lovely stay in the hut! It had everything we needed and the breakfast and firepit were appreciated

We had a wonderful stay and Christine was a fabulous host! Would highly recommend.

Just had an absolutely fantastic stay at Rowan Retreat, we were there for a whole week. The little shepherds hut had everything you would need for a stay. Waking up to that view every morning was like having a little slice of heaven, just for us. Christine couldn’t have been more helpful beforehand with various emails about what to expect and about the area, not that we strayed very far. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

Lovely scenic surroundings and private location
