Gorgeous little hide away only thing I would add is access to the river below

Absolutely lovely place to stay so peaceful and quiet with just the river below flowing. Great for an evening just sitting and relaxing with a drink. Christine is really helpful with everything you need to know and what’s on and thing’s to do around the area. Great cosy shepherds hut, Would definitely go back for another stay. A*

Amazing place to stay. Quiet & peaceful location. The welcome hamper was fantastic!

Stunning location and house! We had a brilliant weekend here for my 30th birthday celebrations. Christine goes above and beyond. She was helpful and responded quickly to any queries in the run up to the weekend. Everything was provided for and set up in perfect condition! The house is a short drive from Penrith Station and we also managed a walk to the pub in the local village of Greystoke – who had a live band on! Lynn Hilditch Catering provided food (for 27 people) on the Saturday evening which was delicious and really well done – Lynn accommodated different dietary requirements with no fuss too. Would definitely recommend and book Blencowe Hall again 🙂

First, my party and I have had a wonderful stay at Riverain.

Immediately on arrival we felt so welcomed and at home. The estate itself is in a beautiful setting and the views are wonderful particularly with the turrets of Blencowe Hall as part of the vista. The grounds are maintained beautifully.

Your welcome pack is outstanding, and you had thought of everything, and we certainly made good use of it and enjoyed it all!!!! It was also nice to know that all household cleaners and washing machine powder and dishwasher tablets were available for us to use. Your provision of tea, coffee, oil, salt, and pepper were also very useful to have and the milk in the fridge too! Moving on from that the large amount of wood and kindling you provided was also very generous and as the weather was a little inclement, we used the fire every night.

We loved the property and we all slept well in our beds which were very comfortable and the peace and quiet certainly helped us sleep. All of us enjoyed the use of all the toiletries – they were gorgeous, and my skin has never felt so soft. I shall certainly make use of the 20% discount, as I am very keen to support eco-friendly companies.

The week has passed very quickly – we visited Derwent and Ullswater lakes and Penrith and Keswick, Pooley Bridge and Glenridding. However, we have also managed a good rest in very comfortable surroundings at Riverain.

Fabulous place to stay, stunning views, very comfortable/clean, beautifully tended gardens. Thank you.

Very beautiful and secluded little spot. Highly recommended

Christine’s Shepherds Hut was the perfect cosy stay we wanted during our time in the lakes. Christine was quick to reply and happy to help! The welcome hamper made us feel at home and was very much appreciated 🥰

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

My wife and I enjoyed a 4 night stay here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hut is tucked away, out of sight and very romantic. Despite its’ size, it’s very well equipped and had everything we needed. It was very clean and well maintained.
