about willow tree retreats
A Peaceful Corner of the Lake District
Willow Tree Retreats was created as a place to pause, slow down and enjoy a quieter pace of life. From the natural materials and soft interiors to the open countryside views outside, both the barn and pod have been designed to feel calm, comfortable and easy to settle into from the moment you arrive.
Rather than busy schedules and packed itineraries, staying here is about simple pleasures — quiet mornings with coffee outside, evenings under open skies and the feeling of having space to properly switch off. Whether you stay for a weekend or longer, Willow Tree Retreats offers a peaceful base to rest, reconnect and enjoy the slower rhythm of the South Lakes countryside.
A Peaceful Place to Slow Down
Mornings begin quietly and ever changing views that stretch across the Lyth Valley from Scout Scar to Whitbarrow Scar. As the weather shifts, so does the landscape bringing beautiful and fascinating vistas into focus.
Thoughtful Design, Cosy Luxury
Everything here is designed with comfort, quality and simplicity in mind. It’s about having just what you need to give you the feeling you can relax from the moment you arrive.
A Home for All Seasons
Whether you’re in curled up inside on a cool evening with the warmth of underfloor heating, sitting outside with a drink as the light fades over the valley, setting off for walks from the door to explore local fells or driving a short way to famous landmarks of the National Park, life here feels peaceful and easy to set at your own pace.
Pet-Friendly, Guest-Focused
We believe everyone should feel welcome here, including your four legged friends. Our Paws on the Floor approach means everything stays lovely for all our guests.
