From the word go, communication with Christine was excellent. We checked into Oak Retreat without any complication. We were given earlier check in times and also later check out option. Christine left a super cute welcome box for us (milk, eggs, butter, muesli, tea, coffee fresh bread and the most delicious home-made raspberry jam). A very kind gesture indeed. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely bijou bathroom with towels, shampoo/conditioner/shower gel and handwash supplied. No expense spared! A lovely touch. Bed lovely and comfortable, folds away easy to make access for dining table seating area. Totally secluded and peaceful place. Fire pit and log burner used as weather got a little chilly on times. Logs and firewood supplied and plentiful. Information folder there with everything you need to know. Definitely will be returning again soon! Thank you for everything Christine 🙂

Private, well appointed and well stocked which was a lovely surprise. Highly recommended.

Amazing little hideaway with all you need. Came with local products (food/drink), toiletries (and towels) and cleaning products. Worth every penny. Peaceful views that you can admire whilst sitting by the fire. Book of local resteraunts, takeaways, shops, walks and hikes. Above and beyond what we were after in a walking holiday. No more than 30 minutes for Ulswater, Aira Falls and Helvellyn. 5 stars!

Great stay at Oak retreat. We were greeted with a lovely welcome food selection, including fresh bread, homemade jam, amazing coffee, tea, butter and eggs. The place was lovely and quiet and just what we needed for a relaxing yet active break! Thank you Christine for being so helpful with responses and things to do in the area.

Fantastic retreat to cook and read from, and convenient base from which to explore the area and wider Lake District. Beautiful and secluded, but Christine’s instructions were crystal clear. She is a great and responsive host. The detailed local recommendations were also very welcome.

We had a great stay while there, with beautiful views the second you step out of the hut. Could not recommend enough, Thanks for the breakfast as well that bread was fantastic

A fantastic place to stay! We arrived to a brilliant welcome basket made up of local produce. The hut has been well designed with great kitchen and bathroom facilities. The location is peaceful with a beautiful view from the hut of the Lake District.

Absolutely fabulous stay in the Oak Retreat. Christine is a really friendly, responsive host and the retreat was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. We really appreciated the locally sourced extras which was such a lovely touch that we very much enjoyed! The view is so beautiful and peaceful. It really is a little corner of heaven! Perfect. Thank you!

Very nice stay! Beautiful scenery and nice local walks. Place was spotless and as described. Very nice owner and left a very nice breakfast hamper and a very handy guide of the surroundings.

We had a lovely stay at the Oak retreat. It had everything we needed including breakfast for every morning. Gorgeous scenery surrounding the cabin also All perfect, thanks Christine & team x
