The Retreat is no longer a holiday let. We would like to thank all those who have been our valued guests over the last nine and half years or so.

We've found this summer at The Retreat a lovely time for walking, exploring the delights of Keswick itself or for just sitting relaxing in the sun!

We've been pleased to welcome people to The Retreat in 2022 with now most restrictions gone. The items that had to be removed to take account of Covid have been put back in place and the cottage is back to how we would wish it to be. We've made one significant change this year which is to reduce the occupancy to two for all new bookings. For those who have already booked as a three or four in 2022, do not worry as nothing will have changed for your stay.

Today was a special day in the history of The Retreat. Until today our water was provided by an old, deteriorating thin metal pipe shared between seven properties. This occasionally caused low water pressure problems. The solution was to replace with new pipes, one for each cottage. Today United Utilties connected the new pipes. The Retreat now has its own reliable water supply, great news for us - and our guests!

After Storrm Arwen and Storm Barra, when our view of Skiddaw was a grey sky (with no mountain to be seen!), Skiddaw has returned and we've had a lovely bright December day.

It will soon be Christmas so we've been to The Retreat to prepare the decorations and ensure everything is in place for our guests at Christmas and New Year. The decorations in the town are lovely as in every year.
