  We had a great time at Lovies Place for our 10y anniversary.

  The pod's facilities were great, as described, the view gorgeous and the owners Rob and Diane were really friendly and helpful. We forgot to bring toothpaste and they were kind enough to drive to the pod and give us a tub- this has been such an appreciated gesture! Diane also provided us with milk and eggs which was again a lovely gesture. There are a few things we would have loved to know in advance which are: 1)the insects situation in the evening was out of control and had we known, we could've packed a few more sprays, plug-in insects killer, soothing creams etc. They have provided us with a dry oil spray, room spray and citronella candle but we needed a little more help than that (my partner has developed a severe allergy from the bites) so a heads up would have been nice. 2)Another heads up that would have been greatly appreciated was the fact that the main road (Kirkstone pass) that took us to the property was closed for a few weeks. The Waze app did not pick up on that and we ended up having to detour and take a different route which took us 60miles. Diane has helped us with directions from the road closure back to the highway and to a different route. We rely heavily on the navigation app but in some cases like this one, the app was not updated with the road closure so the owners would have saved us a lot of diesel had they at least mentioned it as a warning before our arrival day. All in all, we had a wonderful time and we will certainly stay there again but probably when weather is less hot and insects are out of the picture.

  The cabin appeared to be finished with no expense spared.

  Everything there was high quality and it wasn’t difficult to notice. Underfloor heating was amazing, brilliant cooking facilities along with pots and pans, beautiful cutlery and crockery. The view was stunning and the extra effort to make a viewing area was well worth it. The mattress was comfy and all the bedding, towels and robes were immaculately clean. Everything was. Nice big TV for the evening after a dip in the hot tub and plastic wine glasses so they don’t t get broken out in said hot tub. Genius! Extraordinary value for money, we will be back I am sure. My only small piece of feedback for this cabin is the privacy of the hot tub. Although it is well tucked away, if someone is in the cabin next door (as they were while we were there), they can easily walk past and see straight into the hot tub. Easily fixed with a screen or gate. Other than that, the place was amazing. One other thing, more to do with the website I used I suspect, but the cabins are quite close to the main road. Excellent for accessibility but just a tad noisy on a morning with trucks driving up and down. Not that it impacted our stay, just that the map shows, I think, the cottages location and not the cabins. Thanks for the great weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

  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 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
