The Owl's Shack

The Owl Shack had everything needed but as a 87 year old I would have found a hand rail down the two steps into the kitchen a help.

The younger members of the family were disappointed with the walks nearby.

We had a fantastic stay at Owls Shack and would highly recommend it.

The wood burner was a real highlight, making the cabin feel warm and cosy, especially in the evenings. One of the best parts of our stay was the abundance of wildlife right outside the window. We enjoyed watching a variety of birds including goldfinches, chaffinches, great tits, blue tits and even a jay. We were also lucky enough to spot a roe deer during our visit. The views across to the fell were beautiful, and it was lovely to see the sheep and lambs grazing nearby. The accommodation had everything we needed, with all amenities thoughtfully provided and very useful throughout our stay. The location is excellent too – peaceful and relaxing, yet perfectly placed for exploring Kendal, the Lake District and the surrounding countryside. Chris was so polite and friendly, a warm welcome when we arrived, showed us around Owls Shack and gave us plenty of information about the local area, the walks which were all accessible from the shack itself, history of the building and how it got its name, his knowledge was invaluable. A wonderful place to unwind and enjoy nature. We would happily stay again.

The owls shack is lovely so quiet and peaceful sat at the end of a little lane you would not know there was another log cabin next to you.

There is absolutely everything you need in there. It has been very well thought out. The perfect getaway we will definitely be looking at coming back soon. Our Dog loved it too

The property was lovely and exceeded our expectations.

We arrived late, but the lovely hosts left us a welcome basket and some fresh milk in the fridge which was very considerate and extremely welcome. We had a lovely time and will definitely come back.

Lovely property.

A lot of sheep and lambs in the Longsleddale valley so wouldn’t suit all dogs.

The property is beautiful.

It has everything you would ever need . We had one issue and that is the heating system . The owner controls this and you can’t set it above 21c which means’s the bedrooms were so so cold . I asked him to increase the temperature . He would only do this on the bedroom we were sleeping in and only to 23c which made no difference . The underfloor heating and towel radiators worked intermittently . He told us the reason he controls the heating is because previously customers have had it on too high . We paid a lot of money to stay there and I have never slept in socks , tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt in my life but I had to.

The Owl Shack is a real gem in a beautiful area.

Chris and Julie have created a unique haven where tranquility and peace can be found. The property is five star and deserves the accolades it has received. Comfortable, well equipped and stylish, a rare find. We cannot wait to return. Location is convenient for local amenities which are only a 10 min drive through the lanes to the main A6. Beautiful walks are on the door step along with the vibrant river Sprint. Just turn up and relax!

Wonderful accommodation, superbly equipped in a beautiful and tranquil location.

A property which has been created and maintained with love and care.

Amazing hosts.

A wonderful place to unwind with fantastic tranquility. Super fast WiFi. This was our 2nd visit since October

Fabulous property and fabulous hosts too will definitely stay again

A 5 star rating.

Very personable hosts who have spared no expense in presenting a fantastic cottage property for enjoyment - a Home From Home experience. Every last detail has been thought through. From a wonderfully equipped kitchen to a fabulous interior design with bags of character. Brilliant Fibre WiFi, very comfortable beds and Premium Netflix availability. Our 96 yr old Aunt also loved her time at Owl Shack. Congratulations to Julie and Chris.

Garden is not enclosed !

! Should place a gate at the decking because of stream and make clear not enclosed for people with dogs in your description Did not cater for disabled people! At the very least there should have been hand rails at the hall steps, in the shower / bathrooms Beds way too hard. We use a hard bed at home but these beat it Did not appreciate the email from Lakelovers on Monday morning telling us to pick up after dog in garden, set the dishwasher night before, very condescending. Consider re-wording as we found it very insulting as principled respectful holiday visitors

An amazing place, beautifully designed, furnished and all the items anyone could want.

We had such a relaxing stay and loved the location, quietness and how comfortable everything was made for us.

The only downside of such a lovely place was the flies that always came in if we opened the doors to the patio.

Other than that the whole experience was the perfect family break- thanks again.

Very comfortable and very well thought out property, offering quality and quietness in abundance.

This is a truly wonderful property, decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard.

There is nothing that Chris and Julie haven’t thought of, so many loving touches, it was a sheer delight to call this home for a week and to escape and relax. The setting is idyllic, a tranquil haven away from the busyness of the world with a river babbling away in the background and rolling hills and sheep to complete the perfect views. A very warm welcome awaited us when we arrived from Chris, a guided tour of the property and history as to how it came into being. It’s set in a fabulous valley with easy access to many places to visit nearby or simply take a walk. Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome pack, the cake was delicious and the doggy treats very welcome too.

This was our first visit to the property and we hope not our last.

It is set in idyllic surroundings and gave us ample opportunity to explore the locality and enjoy our walks every day. The house is beautifully decorated and felt very homely; giving us the relaxing space we'd hoped for. It is very well equipped, clean and comfortable; and the owners were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; providing lots of information and answering any queries we had. A great time was had by all!

An exceptional accommodation, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with every amenity you could wish for.

The location was so tranquil you feel detached from the hectic world outside - a true escape. A wonderful welcome from Chris the owner and a very thoughtful welcome pack with a lovely vase of fresh flowers.

Heaven on earth !

!! This property was faultless!!! All the love and care that had been put into this property radiates into atmosphere.. so from the moment you step foot into The Owl shack you cannot help but feel positive ! Chris and Julie are exceptional hosts .. which only add to the overall experience of our stay . There was nothing they hadn’t thought , the attention to detail was second to none … a real home from home .. Needless to say we have already booked our next two visits … and are counting down the days !!!

Lovely Stay In A Beautiful Location

Superb property, very comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and very well appointed.

Chris was excellent and provided local information that we found very useful. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

Tucked away in a peaceful location overlooking beautiful scenery.

Owl's Shack is beautiful and totally exceeded our expectations providing us with a very luxurious and comfortable place to holiday.

Owners are fantastic, friendly and engaging.

Cottages are stunning set in outstanding nature with carefully curated gardens , such a peaceful picturesque cottage to reset and rest.

Amazing property in a stunning location.

We will definitely be going back

We had a really lovely stay at the Owl’s Shack.

Beautiful property and very peaceful location away from it all. Hosts were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful. We received a lovely welcome pack, as did our dog! Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Owl Shack.

The cottage is amazing in a beautiful setting. The hosts are very welcoming and have generously appointed the cottage with everything one needs for a lovely stay. Five stars!

We absolutely loved staying here.

The Owl’s Shack is absolutely PERFECT! Beautiful views, you can hear the water nearby which is so relaxing. Every single detail of the shack has been thought about which made our stay incredibly easy. Usually when we go to places in the uk, we will take lots of utensils etc as most places don’t stock much, including lots and fire lighters etc, but this place literally had EVERYTHING. We didn’t need to take anything for the kitchen as it had it all. The smart TV was excellent and easy to use. The showers we really great and worked easily. We arrived to a lovely hamper it the kitchen including a gorgeous coffee and cake! The fire was also great, with enough logs to last us the full week. The only thing was it says enclosed garden on the site. We brought a dog who can’t be let off the lead. The garden isn’t fully enclosed but this really is the only thing that bothered us but we worked around it and it was fine. We absolutely loved staying here. I would highly recommend it. And we would love to come back and stay again. It’s such a wonderful place. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Our stay at the owls shack was amazing, and very relaxing.

We had a very nice pamper pack and a welcome note which was very thoughtful and nice of them to do. Everything was on point, and our favourite feature of the house was the open wood fire in the lounge, it was very cozy and beautiful. The layout and decor is carefully designed with love for sure. Perfect for instagram pictures

Thank you for a fabulous stay - so many thoughtful touches from Farrer's No1 to cake forks!

It's clear much thought and care has been put into creating these luxurious and wonderful Lake District hideaways. Can't recommend highly enough.

I had the most wonderful stay at the Owl's Shack - having stayed in high quality UK holiday cottages for 20+ years, I can say that unequivocally this was the most beautiful and well-provisioned cottage I have ever stayed in.

The thought that has gone into equipping the cottage is second to none - every single detail is included and it transforms the experience. The owners were wonderfully helpful and hospitable. I have booked again for next year!

Stunning property.

No complaints. Would love to stay again. Will definitely be using your company again if the properties are of such a high standard.

We had a fantastic week at the Owl Shack.

Set in a beautiful, tranquil location, the cottage is extremely well equipped and well designed with everything we could possibly need to hand. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

Furnished to a high standard which helped contribute to a relaxing break. The owners have done a great job with the property and would definitely recommend to others.
