We had an amazing stay at the accomodation. We were greeted by a lovely welcome pack and felt at home straight away. We would highly recommend this accomodation. Put simply……stunning.

I booked a weekend away at the Rowan Retreat as surprise birthday treat for my girlfriend. Safe to say, she absolutely loved it! We loved the privacy, the tranquility and all the nice little touches in and around the shepherds hut. Christine ensured we had all the niceties we could ask for (local fresh bread, eggs, coffee, juice, toiletries etc). This shepherds hut is an absolute must for those visiting the Lake District at only around 20 mins away from Ullswater and plenty of other nice spots. 10/10 recommend!

Lovely two night stay at Christine’s Shepherds hut. Beautifully presented and gorgeous complementary items. Fire pit and BBQ were a great addition. Will definitely be back again. Thank you 🤩

Absolutely lovely experience in the Rowan shepherds hut, so peaceful, a perfect escape

Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we felt very welcome. Really appreciated the thoughtful added touch of providing eggs, milk, bread, juice and muesli etc. It was so lovely to have local produce, including shower products. A very private and peaceful break in a beautiful area. Everything was very organised & felt as if everything you could ever need had been thought about. Thank you again!

Lovely clean and peaceful shepherds hut. Exactly as described and photographed. Would stay again. 5*

Perfect little weekend retreat

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!!
