Me and my partner stayed here for 3 nights and everything from start finish was just perfect. The welcome package was the sweetest touch. Including fresh homemade jam, bread, organic eggs, apple juice and more. The hut itself was just the cutest little thing and the indoor log fire made it even more cosy. The location was perfect and only a 20 minutes drive away from Keswick and an hour from Windermere. Christine was so lovely, even though we didn’t meet her, she couldn’t have been more helpful. She gave us very clear instructions and was just an email away if we needed anything. I cannot recommend this little gem enough, I will be recommending to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Christine for a much needed relaxing break, will be back! From Roisin and Will 🙂

We had a terrific stay at Elm retreat! The location was amazingly peaceful and was in a great location for hiking within a short car ride. Thank you for a lovely weekend away!

We had a wonderful stay at Gill Beck Barn and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the lakes. Communication was fantastic prior to the stay making everything on arrival smooth and easy . The house was spotless and cosy, and the location was perfect – very quiet and relaxing and great for our dogs. Overall a really lovely weekend away and a fantastic host!

What a lovely time we had! A peaceful weekend in this beautiful home. Dogs really enjoyed the garden and made friends with the sheep. We had an amazing bank holiday weekend here, thank you.

Amazing private get away, would recommend to anyone looking for some time in nature and a lovely experience

Had a really wonderful stay, it has everything you could need for a relaxing break- and the breakfast hamper was wonderful!

A very welcoming, 1st class stay at Hawthorn Retreat Shepherds Hut. Beautiful accommodation in an amazing setting, above the bank of a stream, away from the usual sounds of humanity. The sound of the water very tranquil and relaxing. Location wise central for all the lakes, a great place to stay to either visit the beautiful lakes and mountains, or to chill and hibernate away.
Christine was a fantastic host, never too far away from a message or email, very responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for our short break. 💯 🫶🏼

Thank you! Our stay has been wonderful and we have felt so special and very much welcome! We will be back!

The Aga and the fire brought warmth to an otherwise wintery week! 2 dogs loved the garden and we did lots of muddy walks. Hamper was very welcoming and all the facilities were excellent. Many thanks for a lovely few days with plenty of fresh air!

We have just had a long weekend celebrating my 50th birthday at this beautiful venue. It was absolutely perfect! The interior is lovely, homely and with a very well equipped kitchen. There’s ample space for everyone to gather, either around the large dining table or in the spacious conservatory/day room. It’s brilliant that all bedrooms have their own well appointed bathrooms, too. A beautiful hamper upon arrival. Correspondence beforehand was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate returning to Hause Hall or one of the other Rowley Estate properties. The views from the top of Hallin Fell are worth the climb!
