We had a wonderful stay and Christine was a fabulous host! Would highly recommend.

Christine was the perfect host! Extremely quick to respond, the hut was beautiful and the surrounds were peaceful and relaxed! We had a fantastic honeymoon at Oak Retreat, it was exactly what we needed. Every little detail was considered thank you again! P.S. we’re going to miss the sheep 🐏🐑

Wow wow wow. This was the most amazing air bnb we’ve stayed at. The location was idyllic with lots of lovely local walks. The accommodation itself was just perfect. Everything was kitted out well and it genuinely felt like a home away from home. Christine was incredibly responsive and was really proactive in providing up front recommendations of local attractions and things to visit during our stay. I would really recommend this place to stay and we will definitely be coming back.

Kirkbride Hall was a magical place to stay! On a beautiful estate just outside of a small village (with an excellent pub and cafe), it’s bordered by church and woodlands that provide such a peaceful setting. The house itself is amazing, thoughtfully designed with everything you need. You can set out from the house on foot for some great walks, or are within a short drive of great hiking, climbing and everything the Lakes has to offer. Christine was so responsive throughout and provided high chairs, travel cots and an extremely generous welcome hamper – nothing seemed too much. The garden of the house is so serene, bordered by these majestic stone walls with the golden hour catching the row of trees on the lawn and a back gate leading straight into the woods behind. A truly magical place.

Just had an absolutely fantastic stay at Rowan Retreat, we were there for a whole week. The little shepherds hut had everything you would need for a stay. Waking up to that view every morning was like having a little slice of heaven, just for us. Christine couldn’t have been more helpful beforehand with various emails about what to expect and about the area, not that we strayed very far. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

What a fantastic retreat! We had a wonderful and relaxing time staying in the Shepherd’s hut on the Rowley Estate. The communication from the point of booking with suggestions of walks and places of interest was a lovely touch. The hut is private and peaceful with plenty of outside space to enjoy including the fire pit. A lovely welcome hamper with jam from the estate, delicious bread, cereal, orange juice, milk, tea and coffee was really appreciated. The hut was toasty even when the temperature dropped to 3 degrees outside. It’s an ideal location to explore Ullswater lake and Pooley Bridge with easy access to shops at Penrith. We’ll definitely be back.
