Fabulous stay for a big family birthday weekend. Outstanding property that is superbly equipped for a large group! Christine was a fabulous host, very responsive and accommodating to us . Simply one of the best properties we have rented. Hope to be back!!

A group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melmerby Hall. The bedrooms are of a high quality, with supremely comfortable beds – I haven’t slept so well in a long time. And the generous dining room, kitchen and sitting room were all very conducive to enjoying each others company. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay at Hause Hall, the house is beautiful and the views are incredible!

We had a lovely stay at Larch Retreat. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly. The place was spotless and was lovely inside. We both enjoyed the privacy of the area as you’re pretty much in the middle of a little forest. We would 100% recommend Larch Retreat to everyone! Thanks for our stay!

We had an amazing break at the Oak Retreat. The hut is of a very high standard with a wood burning stove great for the winter evenings. It is in beautiful surroundings and is a great base for the northern lakes. On our arrival the cabin was warm and welcoming after driving through the snow. The little things like the food hamper of local produce and bathroom products really made it feel special, we particularly enjoyed the muesli, the hamper contained everything we needed for breakfast and was a really nice touch. For the EV driver there are a number of chargers on site and were easy to use. We would love to visit again and would heartily recommend staying in the Oak Retreat. Thank you Christine we had a wonderful break.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. We have had the most wonderful 2 day recharge and can’t wait to come back soon! Larch Retreat is the most beautiful little haven!

We stayed at Melmerby Hall as part of 70th birthday celebrations and it was the perfect location. The house was wonderfully equipped and interesting, with beautifully appointed bedrooms. The rooms were warm and inviting, despite a snowstorm on our first night, and the open fires provided an appealing focal point. The younger members of our group spent hours of fun in the impressive snooker room on the top floor. The welcome hamper was delightful and all our dealings with Christine were friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Sunday lunch at the nearby Shepherd’s Inn pub was a treat. All in all a perfect choice for a weekend retreat in spectacular surroundings. Sumptuous but homely.

An amazing stay at Larch Retreat. A perfect base for exploring the Lake District. Great host! Definitely recommend!
