Hawthorn Retreat - The Rowley Estates

Sep 14th, 2022

Had an amazing stay at Hawthorn Retreat, the shepherd's hut is very secluded on the river bank and you can hear the gentle flow of the river, so relaxing. The shepherd's hut has everything you need, was a treat to have kitchen roll, washing up liquid etc all provided and a lovely welcome hamper, which we enjoyed too..thank you! Beautiful area, nice local pub in Greystoke for evening meals. Short drive to Keswick and aira force, we did gowbarrow fell.We would definitely recommend Hawthorn Retreat and would love to return soon.

A stunning location and fantastic accommodation. Completely off the grid and peaceful. A 15 minute walk or so takes you into the tiny village of Greystoke - a lovely little village.

We had a great stay at Hawthorn Retreat over the weekend. It was in a beautiful setting, so peaceful and quiet. The shepherd's hut was lovely inside and stocked with everything we could possibly need, the BBQ and fire pit were a great bonus. We definitely recommend a visit and hope to go back there some time!

We had an lovely weekend stay at Hawthorn Retreat recently for our friends wedding. The hamper in the hut when we arrived was incredible, especially the Rowley jam (that and the loaf of bread barely lasted two days)! We had plenty of charcoal and wood for the barbecue and fire pit, and really enjoyed sitting outside for our dinner listening to the sound of the river in the gully below us. Super relaxing evening (only comment is that it would have been handy to have some tongs for the bbq, but we just used the spatula and literally EVERYTHING else we thought of or needed was there so no complaints here!). The cows in the field across from us deciding we needed a 4am dawn chorus on one of the days was particularly funny. Wed absolutely return if were back in the area. Cant fault our stay at all!
