The Retreat Studio

Quiet, calm, just what I needed to get away from things and study and enjoy peace. The facilities were great, plenty of useful information to enhance your stay, really comfy bed. The only really really tiny complaints were that the bathroom is teeny-tiny, the desk stool was not an office chair type so uncomfortable to sit and work on (I ended up just sat on the sofa), and there was no sugar (the hosts had kindly provided almost everything else for breakfast) luckily I'd taken my own. I am looking forward to going again when I need to write and study in peace.

the whole vibe is just incredibly relaxing! we brought the kids with us too!

nothing! it’s perfectly equipped and so very relaxing!

Very peaceful and quiet location. Property was open plan so perfect with young children. Courtyard was lovely and secluded and safe. The children loved the games and having Netflix was great to have in the evenings.

No freezer or cooker so hard to cook for the children.

Good location within easy reach of Carlisle but rural. Enjoyed the breakfast items left which were a nice bonus. Lovely outside area to sit and listen to the nearby water. Well equipped and warm studio.

If we were being picky would have liked a teapot and something more comfortable to sit on at the table. Bathroom and kitchen a bit tight but this is a studio so expected.

The battery's where missing from the tv remote....within 5 minutes after giving notice the battery's where brought to us. Somehow the keys where in the door when we arrived, don't know if this is kindness or forgotten to put it in the locker. The kids loved the spacious studio and the bed was perfect for the 3 of us.

absolutely beautiful there was bread waffles cereal milk tea coffee orange juice! the place was spotless, bed was super comfy and the sofa bed was surprisingly comfy also all round 10/10 highly recommended
