Booked this cottage as it linked directly to Melmerby Hall and accommodated the rest of our large party. With its doorway directly into the Hall it was so easy for everyone to mingle. The same high standard and attention to detail in this cottage as the Hall. From its beautiful bedrooms and lovely courtyard garden with its firepit, the wonderful welcome pack, superb is the only way to describe it!

Absolutely amazing place to stay ! Super host and the best spot to visit Lake District

Very nice great location little touches were appreciated

Nice location some real nice touches. Bathroom just a little too small in shephards hut but very happy

Lovely place to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with family and the weather was with us as well.

We had a beautiful stay at the Hawthorn Retreat, the property was exactly as described in a perfect, tranquil location. Christine had left a very generous hamper of gifts for us upon arrival, including milk, bread and some of their own homemade raspberry jam. We were recommended plenty of things to do and places to eat which made the stay so enjoyable. Overall a lovely 5 days, I could not recommend the property, and Penrith itself more!

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.

Loved staying at Rowan Retreat, didn’t want to leave!

Hut and surroundings were very nice, and the hut was really clean. We also liked the complimentary eggs, milk, butter, orange juice, and loaf of bread.

We thoroughly enjoyed are stay at the shepherds hut ,it was lovely and peaceful with Bread and Milk and butter ready in the fridge .
