What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival around 8pm the key was not in the key safe.

  after a 6 hour drive with a three year old you don't need that. The fridge was warm as it was set to minimum. The freezer wasn't switched on, so also warm. The dishwasher was broken.The gas cooker hob and oven didn't work. The toilet in the ensuite was blocked. There was so much clutter and tat in the property we had no where to put any of our things. Plates cups etc were dirty. The only hand soap was in the kitchen. There were so many scatter cushions on the beds when you took them off to get in to bed there was nowhere to put them out of the way. The hot tub had no chemicals in it after using it twice the water was dark brown and stank. No effort was made to visit this everyday to check the water and change the filter / add chemical to it. It made our bathing wear stink. There were no instructions how to use that. Or the washing machine, or the dishwasher, or even the heating. The outside gate glass door didn't latch properly and when it was pushed home correctly overnight it opened again and banged in the wind. This wasn't our choice of property as we booked number 8 originally which we found backed on to the one we had. We were dismayed to see the owners of our property repeatedly visit the one we had previously booked and subsequently had cancelled, they evidently are 'managing it' along with many other properties on the same site, there was no one staying there which has annoyed us no end as that is where we wanted to stay to start with. Given this I doubt very much we will ever book or recommend this booking site ever again. The Park itself was well kept and ideally located.

  The stay was fantastic.

  There's was plenty of little extras that go beyond an expectation of a holiday. They left us yummy treats including thoughtful treats for a birthday. The owners are very friendly and helpful they don't mind going out the way of what you need and offer what they think could be helpful. They offered us lifts as we didnt drive and offered advice on the walks and places nearby. The place itself has a beautiful view this cabin in particular had the nest of a view and was the more secluded one. It's also fairly quiet for being near a main road. And the cabin is very cozy and the hot tub experience is also a worth while one. We even had wildlife join us by the hot tub. And once the wood has burned down the heat in the hot tub is unreal and stays for a very long time so it definitely worth the wait. Pretty much if your looking for peace and quiet or your a outdoorsy person this is a good place to pick. We stayed for a week and never became fed up of any of it and still didn't want to leave. Hutton John is definitely going to be top of our list when we want some child free time and a romantic time away.

  The cabin is clean, modern and very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need.

  I absolutely loved the bed and had the best nights sleep! The cabin can get warm quite quick so we turned the heating as low as it would go. We were looking for somewhere secluded so we could take our dog and this place was perfect, although there are 3 other cabins near by, we didn't see anyone and felt like it was just us there, which is what we wanted. We had a little walk around to the nearest village where there is a pub but it didnt open until 5pm on a Tuesday (the day we went haha) and 12 every other day. The village and pub are very picturesque. We drove into Pooley bridge which is only 10 minutes away and then Keswick the following day, which is only 20 minutes away, both great locations for walks, scenery, pubs and shops. It was our first time using a fire burning hot tub, we read the book which is very helpful and we managed to get the hot tub hot and ready in 2 hours and it remained hot for quite a long time which was great! Would highly recommend this cabin if you want an escape away.

  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
