We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Oak retreat for our hiking trip. Lots of lovely surrounding towns, pubs and lakes. A prefect place to come back to after a long day, it had everything we needed. Christine was very quick with our queries and clear directions to the location. Exceptional service with some breakfast and groceries provided. We would definitely recommend this hut for future holidays. Thank you!

I stayed at Oak Retreat recently. The location was very peaceful and private. Christine was a wonderful host and always responded quickly to any enquiries and requests and provided some lovely local produce as a welcome The attention to detail in the hut was amazing. Everything had been thought about properly with very clever use of the space. It was very well equipped and had everything I needed and more. The drop down bed was very comfortable and easy enough to stow away in the morning leaving space to sit at a good sized table with seats at either side. The woodburning stove was a lovely addition. For anyone not versed in lighting fires there is a full set of instructions to help or alternatively central heating with easy to use thermostat. There are plenty of walks in the area and a great cosy pub serving food a couple of miles away and Penrith close by for anything else. I would definately recommend to all. Great value for money. Thankyou for a lovely stay Christine.

Lovely getaway! Great place to relax and de-stress

A repeat visit and always will be! ✨️

Our first trip to the Lake District was incredible and was made even more special staying at the Oak Retreat. Cozy, comfortable and quiet. Loved the breakfast and log burner and a great nights sleep after a long day of hiking. Deserves all the praise it receives!

A very private and peaceful lodge, perfectly centred for our trip. Gorgeous views and sunrise in the morning, especially in the snow. Even managed to access the lodge in the snow as well! Bed was very spacious and comfy, and the lodge had all we needed, we especially liked the log burner! Christine was brilliant with any of our queries and Steve was very helpful, we’re so grateful! Thanks so much Christine, and a huge thanks to Steve as well, such a memorable trip, we’ll be back next year! 🙂

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Retreat, will be booking again as soon as we can. I couldn’t recommend enough!

We absolutely loved staying at Oak Retreat, the location was perfect and the surroundings were incredibly peaceful and picturesque. The hut itself was cosy and clean, equipped with everything we needed and the welcome package on check-in was the cherry on top. This was the perfect start to our new year and will definitely be booking again – would recommend to anyone! Thank you Christine

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Oak Retreat in Little Blencowe over New Year. The location was perfect for lovely hikes, and the cottage itself was cozy and welcoming. Christine, the host, went above and beyond by providing a thoughtful welcome kit with essentials like milk, fresh bread, eggs, cereal, fudge, Lurpak, cooking oil, tea, and coffee—it was such a nice touch! The space is compact, so you need to be efficient with storage, but that added to the charm of the stay. We were also well-stocked with logs for the fire, which made the evenings extra cozy. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely love to come back! Highly recommend Oak Retreat for a peaceful getaway.
