The Gardener's Retreat

Not as accessible for disabled as thought would be, inside property ok, to get from car to inside not

Fantastic place to stay.

Ideallly located to easily get onto motorway. Pleanty of great places to eat wuthin easy reach. Will look to book again

Lovely secluded and quiet setting within a walled garden in a comfortable lodge that had everything we needed, hot tub was fun to use tho a little fiddly to heat with log burner , lodge was warm and cosy and well insulated tho would benefit from some air conditioning on warmer evenings perhaps, overall beautiful location and relaxing break.

Really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely property and the large walled garden and setting were brilliant. The facilities in the cabin were modern and it was all very clean. The welcome pack was lovely and the whole organisation of things from start to finish with the property owner was great. The only small downside was given the property is so well insulated, it was very warm especially at night. Air con would have been amazing but appreciate this would be a significant outlay! Thank you again for such a lovely stay.

The Gardeners Retreat was a lovely little place to stay.

Very well kept and clean and close to all of the places we wanted to visit on our stay. Our only disappointment was that this lovely cabin is listed as dog friendly dog but we felt it wasn’t really large dog friendly ( it is a small cabin ) . We felt quite stressed about the dog not being allowed on the sofa/bed and spent our time in the lodge with the dog very much outside. Luckily the weather was good !

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gardeners Retreat.

The location was simply fantastic with very large walled garden only shared by one other property (Gardeners Bothy) Given the size of the grounds we were staying in, the privacy for a relaxing weeks holiday with husband and dog (who enjoyed playing ball in garden) was second to none…loved it. Would highly recommend

We had a very good holiday at the Gardeners Retreat and would definatly be booking again next year.

Thanks to all, it was great.

Wonderful property, gorgeous location!

Perfect for a couples holiday. Property is very well kept and clean. Lots of lovely walks close by and a great pub only 5 minutes drive away. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Kate & team.

Loved our stay and our dog Obi loved exploring the garden!

It is enclosed, but be mindful as the cottage also shares the huge garden. Very clean and cosy. Location was ideal for getting to lots of hikes, puns and towns like Pooley Bridge, Penrith, Keswick and Grasmere. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property.

Had the best time. And hope to be back soon!!

Me and my wife stayed at bluebell cabin in April and had the most amazing time .

.so we decided to book the gardeners retreat in August. It was brilliant we felt like millionaires so much privacy and luxury Kate and her team are fantastic. If your thinking of booking DO IT you will be blown away..definitely coming back next year

This place was absolutely lovely, had such a calmness and comfort about it, fully equipped with everything we needed and wanted.

The scenery topped it all off too it was just a beautiful area and felt very private.

We recently stayed here and we had an amazing couple of days,the cabin was spotless and extremely comfortable, the bed was super comfy and the hamper was such a lovely touch.

The hot tub was fantastic and fun to use and the grounds were absolutely beautiful I highly recommend coming here you will not be disappointed and we will be definitely returning thanks for a great stay.

The retreat was in beautiful surroundings.

It was modern, clean, and very spacious with everything you needed. The one thing we did not use was the hot tub due to weather which is out of anyone's control. May be for the hot tub to have a little shelter so if raining , weather not to good could still be used other wise fantastic and will be returning. Jayne , john

We absolutely loved the cabin, its facilities, Alan (mowing the lawn) and the garden.

Such a beautiful place to stay, plus our dog absolutely loved it. Perfect for couples with a dog like us. We did have a few unwanted visitors initially (flies) which kept us and the dog awake on the first night. But once we sorted that it was all good. Will be returning in the future, plus have already recommended it to some friends.

What a really pleasurable experience we had at the Gardner’s Retreat…Such an idyllic setting, just at one with nature…The retreat has a most comfortable bed and hi-end tech with instructions available… We will definitely return, a most enjoyable few days.

.

5 star property!

Everything about the place is beautiful, from the decor to the grounds where the retreat sits and the places you can visit which are close by. We will 100% be returning.

The property is gorgeous and I can’t fault a thing.

We will definitely be booking it again.

The Gardener's Retreat was a perfect little piece of luxury for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect for our little doggy to have a trot around the garden, fully enclosed! The garden is shared with another cottage that allows dogs so that is something to bare in mind when booking - luckily both our dogs were friendly and enjoyed the space together but its worth baring in mind if you're travelling with a less friendly dog! The bed was so comfortable and the facilities top tier - the hot tub is wonderful and a real treat to tend a fire before stepping in. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed all the contents. We couldn't ask for more! One tiny note - we were asked to strip the beds at the end of the stay and of course we are happy to help but from experience in other places, it can ruin the luxury feel to reveal well used duvets and pillows! Everything was clean and new here though - but just a thought for future!

Had an absolute brilliant week on the lake district and that was partly made due to where we stayed, Gardeners retreat!

! What an absolute gem of a place, the garden is huge and spacious. Our pup had the best time, he hit the jackpot running round the garden, chasing birds. And the inside was just a dream, it was spacious and so clean. The hot tub took a while to warm as its a fire one but once it had, it was nice to get in and chill after a day hiking in the mountains. Kate was easy to contact and helped us (very quickly) with any questions or problems we had! Definitely be coming back to this place. LOVED it. So thankyou for making our holiday, memorable. I will add, if you do come, maybe bring like a fly trap, to hang on the ceiling as the flies are non stop lol. We went some where in wales which had alot of flies, but they had a fly trap and it made such a difference! But once again, absolutely GEM of a place!! X

Absolutely brilliant weekend.

This place is outstanding. Look forward to going back.

This is an absolute gem of a lodge and finished to an extremely high standard.

A brilliant welcome pack on arrival and the owners made contact on day 2 to see if all was to our liking and to see if anything else was required. It was not, the lodge had everything. A huge secluded garden was ideal for my dog and the hot tub perfect for me after a hard days sightseeing in the lakes. This place won’t disappoint you

We stayed on the 12th of February and what a lovely place to stay.

The accommodation was spotless. It was the first time we used a hot tub and the weather was cold. We went from lukewarm to boiling the family jewels in an hour and a half. The location is secluded and well laid out. If you are into walking it’s right on your doorstep. We will book again and advise anyone thinking of staying in the area to consider The Gardner’s retreat.

me and my boyfriend stayed here over valentine’s, as soon as we walked in we could smell how clean it was.

such a beautiful location and very private! the only small thing we realised was that there was water leaking from behind the toilet, we weren’t sure if it was condensation or coming from the toilet directly but it didn’t make a difference to our stay :))
