Amazing retreat! Super peaceful and we had the best time! Thank you to Christine for the little touches, recommendations and the wonderful shepherds hut experience!

The Riverain property at the edge of the Lake District is well located. Ullswater, Keswick and a 30 min drive to Ambleside and Windermere are within easy reach. We went as a family of 5 adults, so 3 beds and 3 bathrooms was essential. The layout worked really well for us. Riverain is well equipped and the welcome hamper was perfect. No complaints, we would definitely return, especially well catered for with EV Chargers.

We were welcomed with a very lovely locally sourced breakfast hamper that had all the essentials you required to get you through the first few days of breakfast. The location was as pictured and described such a great location for a long weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Christine was very responsive to any messages sent during our stay, nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend these properties for a romantic or just a simple get away from it all weekend. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Christine’s stay was honestly incredible. Super private, our neighbours were sheep and cows. what more could you ask for!

This was such an incredibly beautiful place to stay ! Could not fault a thing. We booked this place for our 1st wedding anniversary and in no way did it disappoint. It was everything we were after and more. Lovely quiet location with the peaceful sound of the stream and birds (and the occasional sheep) The place was super comfortable and clean. Great recommendation of places to visit even though we did some hikes a little further out. We were also welcomed with some delicious local essentials. Christine is also very responsive and informative. 10/10 highly recommend !

We had a fantastic stay at the shepherd’s hut. The views were brilliant – waking up to sheep in the field right outside and the hills in the distance was a real highlight. It’s a stunning part of the country and felt like a proper break from the usual routine. The hut itself was really well thought out. Every detail seemed to have been planned to make the place practical, comfortable, and easy to settle into. The interior was finished to a high standard and had a lot of character – it was clear a lot of care had gone into it. We really enjoyed our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a great setting.

Very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed both inside and out. The information provided was concise but thorough. The location is fabulous, nestled on the edge of a private wood with views across a small valley. Very private and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at Stag Cottage. Superbly set up and very comfortable. It was a great location for us to explore the whole of the Lake District and surrounding area. Melmerby is a lovely village and we had a lovely walk on one of the super hot days down and along the Beck. 100% would return again.

Genuinely had the best weekend away celebrating all our 40th birthdays. 16 of us had a blast. Didn’t really need to leave the house for anything. Christine put us in touch with Cumbria hot tub hire which was a nice little luxury to add to an almost perfect weekend.

We had a lovely stay at the Shepards hut. Christine was great prior to the visit giving lots of clear information regarding the stay and insights into the local area. On arrival there were lots of local food/drinks left for us to try which was a lovely touch. It was a great place to get away and switch off with lovely surroundings. Would definitely recommend!
