Amazing well equipped house, great for the family gathering we had. Picturesque views, peaceful location with great walks on the doorstep. Christine the host was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay again!!!

We had a great stay! Christine was really helpful and helped us with various queries before and after our stay. We will certainly be returning to stay in the future.

Both cottages were absolutely perfect! We were away competing all weekend with friends and it was the perfect space to wind down in the evening! We couldn’t have asked for any more and the welcome hamper is such a special treat! A very special place to also spend my 30th birthday surrounded by my friends and family! Thank you Christine and team 🥰

Very comfortable stay. Very well equipped with lots of little extras in the welcome pack, which were greatly appreciated. Melmerby is a quiet little village and Birch Retreat is hidden away in a small forest away from the road. We’ve been glamping elsewhere before, but this was by far the most comfortable. Staying as a family of 4 we really benefitted from the extra space. It was warm enough during our stay that we never lit the small log burning stove, but did cook on the BBQ outside and also used the firepit to toast marshmallows. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic time here. The peace and quiet was exactly what we needed. Clean & tidy and very cosy.

Absolutely loved this place! Great location in the lakes to get to Ullswater and Keswick. The huts are so well equipped and have everything you could need, perfect for a 3 night stay

Gill Beck Barn benefits from being in a beautiful location as well as being sympathetically renovated and decorated. Christine was an excellent host, responding quickly to an issue we had with the heating, as well has providing lots of information before our stay. The barn has lots of outdoor room with a large secure driveway and garden and was absolutely spotless. each of the bedrooms were well appointed and spacious and have use of their own shower and toilets which was ideal for our family.
