Genuinely outstanding place to stay. We would fully recommend staying here. The kitchen is one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve stayed in which is important for us as we did lots of cooking.

Really enjoyed our stay. No faults, all brilliant

Thank you so much for such a wonderful week. The house was so warm and welcoming on our arrival and your attention to detail is incredible. Thank you!

Perfect short stay, very cosy, clean, well stocked and quiet. Stayed in November during ‘storm bert’ solid build, everything worked. Nice location. Very reasonably priced.

Excellent break last weekend. Great set up as an individual house or part of a larger gathering with the adjoining properties. Lovely roaring fire, country style kitchen and well appointed rooms. Very generous welcome hamper with all the basics and some luxury items too – all with a local sourced feel. Highly recommend.

Wythburn Cottage is a converted barn completed to an incredibly high standard. From driving up the driveway to entering the cottage, you know you’re in a special place. Each room is laid out well, and you really feel it’s a home-from-home. The furnishings are high quality and modern but in keeping with the carefully renovated barn you’re in. It feels open and airy, but also cosy and serene. There is plenty of space and good facilities for everything from lounging to reading and relaxing. The cottage was very well prepared for our arrival, spotlessly clean and tidy, with a lovely hamper and welcome card to greet us. Everything prior to arrival was extremely easy – it’s clear that the host, Christine, is experienced and has thought of everything you might need or want to know prior in advance. That information was emailed over in plenty of time for our stay, as well as most of it being duplicated in a folder in the house for easy reference. I would highly recommend Wythburn Cottage

Gill Beck Barn is an amazing place to stay. Very beautiful and well kept, in an amazing location just a short drive from the lakes. The place was very dog friendly and had a large secure garden which our dogs loved! Christine was a great host who made us feel very welcome and was incredibly helpful. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too! Will deffo be staying again, for longer next time, as there’s so much to explore nearby.

Just home after spending weekend in this beautiful house within stunning surroundings Christine our host couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating allowing us early check in and later check out. House was very well equipped and beds extremely comfortable. Nice touches such as lovely toiletries in each bathroom, and the hampers full of goodies were amazing all so tasty. We will definitely be back.

We are returning guests to Elm Retreat, and we would come back again! Christine was helpful and the place was perfect.

Highly recommended, beautifully furnished and toasty warm, a perfect place to chill out in a big group, with walking from the door. The welcome pack was a fantastic surprise, the best ever. Christine couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with. We will definitely be returning.
