We had a wonderful stay at Christine’s lovely shepherd’s hut at the Larch Retreat. It was easy to find and exactly as shown in the photos. We were greeted by a lovely hamper. The hut was clean and warm and had a very cosy feel to it. It was the perfect place for a relaxing break in the Lake District. Thank you so much!

What a fabulous place to stay.
Beautifully furnished with lovely touches. The welcome hamper was a well received treat for the adults and the dog toy hamper for the canine as enjoyed. The garden is so pretty.
The area is stunning with Ulswater just 25mins drive away.

We had a lovely stay. The Hut was lovely and clean and had everything we could have needed.

The hut was comfy and cosy. It was a really peaceful area, exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay again.

Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location was fantastic — very private, peaceful and quiet, with own fire pit and picnic bench. Being able to hear the stream nearby was so relaxing and really added to the whole experience.
The hut was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable, with everything I needed for a lovely stay. I was also gifted some delicious locally sourced food and drinks, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch.
It was the perfect place to switch off and enjoy some peace and quiet.
There was also plenty of useful information provided about the local area, including events, walking routes and nearby amenities, which made exploring the surroundings really easy.
Everything was perfect from start to finish. I absolutely loved my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, cosy and relaxing getaway.

My husband and I rented Blencowe Hall for 35 members of our family for a four night reunion.

Having been guests of a previous invitation to Blencowe, we were very impressed initially by the over layout, comfort, accessibility, cleanliness and “feel.” When we chose to be clients, we found the organisation, communication and friendliness of Christine and allllll staff etc exemplary. No question too trivial and everyone always ready to help or advise. They helped us to plan and organise a wonderful stay for our family.

Blencowe Hall, Penrith and all that surrounds her are beautiful and exciting to explore and enjoy.

We HIGHLY recommend any function or stay for anyone interested in a “Castle”type experience, run by a fabulous crew that is comfortable clean and welcoming. Thank you.

Probably the best place I’ve stayed on AirBnb so far. I’m currently writing a book and this place was the perfect location. Great WiFi, very cosy but also very secluded.

The welcome treats were also a lovely touch. Thank you guys, I’ll be back!

We had a lovely time. Such a relaxing setting.

We really enjoyed our stay in this secluded, cosy cabin. An excellent host, with proactive, clear instructions. Exactly what was needed for a stress free hiking trip to the Lake District. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Hawthorn Retreat. The location was super peaceful but not too remote. The shepherd’s hut was beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. The pre-arrival information was perfect and helped with our planning. Highly recommend!
