Tawny Owl Treehouse

Such a peaceful location to get up close and personal with nature. Watching rabbits hopping about in the field below and the heron that came down to the pond. We were lucky with the weather so sat out on the decking area in the sun, and made full use of the outdoor bath and shower. Met a couple of the owners up at the farm and they were very friendly and happy to explain all about their diary farm. You can even go up to the milking shed and watch the cows being milked. Would definitely recommend this tree house as a place to stay for a perfect break away.

Cant recommend this place enough! Felt soo at peace, even when it was raining just watching it through them big windows was soo soothing!
Stunning surroundings & the ingenuity of the building & materials used in the treehouse is outstanding! The outside bath was a perfect touch, it was a freezing night but was perfect! Thanks ever soo much & we will be back!

We had a lovely stay here and couldn’t have asked for more ! The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. Everything felt thoughtful and well cared for. I’d happily stay again and recommend to others !

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tawny Owl Treehouse. It’s lovely and cosy, with a fire-style electric heater that adds a really nice touch. The view in the morning is beautiful, and waking up to the sound of the birds was so peaceful.

The indoor bathroom is spotless and beautifully done. The outdoor bath was a lovely addition too; just be mindful with the hot water, as it runs out fairly quickly and the water cools down fast outside, so don’t add too much cold! The outdoor shower was another great touch that made the stay feel special.

We didn’t read the welcome binder until the end (our own fault!), and realised you can actually watch the cows being milked during the day, which is really cool!

A few things to note: it’s a little tricky to find, and the instructions are open to a bit of interpretation, but the owner was lovely and happily directed us when we got lost. If you like watching TV in bed in the evenings, the wooden backrest looks beautiful but isn’t the most comfortable for sitting up. The same goes for most of the furniture apart from the sofa, which was comfy enough. There’s no oven, so meals can be a bit limited unless you plan to eat out or stick to microwave or pan-fried options, but we managed fine. The WiFi worked perfectly, so it seems they’ve upgraded it recently, which was great.

Overall, it’s a wonderful romantic escape for anyone wanting to shut off, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful few days surrounded by nature.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary at Tawny Owl Treehouse! A beautiful, peaceful, tucked away location. The Treehouse was warm and cosy with magical views of the trees outside. So special to sit on the decking outside looking at the moon and stars at night. Every detail in the Treehouse was so creatively thought out and designed - and it was a lovely touch to find prosecco and milk in the fridge! We briefly met the host too who was friendly and helpful - it was great to know they were on hand if we needed anything. Also, the outdoor shower and bath were fantastic experiences! We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return one day. Thank you for a lovely stay ??

This place is well worth a visit very quirky little place, so peaceful quite and comfy we loved it especially sitting reading with that view was so relaxing thank you for a beautiful stay and we will be back in the future

We absolutely loved this treehouse, and it made our mini-moon! This is a must visit if you're after a full get away from everything and enjoy the outdoors!

Beautiful location and having everything upcycled is such a nice touch that you just don't see anymore - great work!! We got a little stung by the weather and couldn't really use the deck and swing chair as much as we wanted to, but that just added to the charm of being able to have coffee in bed looking out into the trees.

The outdoor bath is an experience to say the least! Especially in the darkness of night! But we absolutely loved it regardless!

The only thing I would note is the 'slope' to get to the treehouse is pretty steep, and is just a dirt track. So don't do what we did and turn up in flip flops, and make sure your bags are light enough to be able to carry down - not drag on wheels! Definitely shouldn't put anyone off going though!

We had a fantastic stay. The cottage its self was great. It’s prefect for couples to get away and spend real quality time together. The views are gorgeous and the surroundings are calm and peaceful.

We loved the fact that the cottage has quirky features as well as the fact that a lot of it is up cycled materials.

We really had a great time and will defiantly be back again.

Thank you for a fantastic weekend

Booked as a few days of respite following some camping in the Lake District which ended up in some unbelievably hot weather. We arrived to a nice clean place, a couple of chocolates and cheeky wee bottle of wine which was a lovely touch! The shade from the trees helped the treehouse stay a reasonable temperature and eventually when the rain came in (what a relief), it was so cosy hearing the patter on the roof with a cuppa. We had everything we needed to cook a nice meal, although consider picking up groceries on the way to the treehouse as there's a bit of driving on the country roads to get to a shop, although I can't say where the nearest shop actually is, sorry! We didn't make use of the outdoor shower/bath, but the indoor shower was very nice - easy to use with good pressure and temperature control. If you look around the treehouse, you can find all the switches for the exterior lightning and it was nice to adjust it as the day/night went on to keep the cosy feeling. We didn't look too hard, but it didn't look like there were many long walks nearby. There is a lovely landscaped area you look out on to if you want a stroll amongst the trees. We had done plenty of walking on holiday already, so the short stroll after dinner was a nice length for us. Overall, we would definitely book again if we were looking for a quiet getaway slow down for a bit!

We stayed at the Tawny Owl Tree house for 3 nights, our first tree house stay. Everything was wonderful, clean, warm, and quiet. The setting is so private, and limited Internet meant we had time to enjoy nature fully. (We got some signal outside the on the decking) I even enjoyed the outdoor shower! The setting is great to explore the area or just sit on the decking watching nature. Thank you

Treehouse is very run down and dirty. We had to clean on arrival. Cobwebs in draws/bowls and cutlery. Broken glass drinking cups. Stained walls will visible water leaks on paint. The balcony outside was rotten and not safe to lean on. The decking was filthy and my other half spent 30mins cleaning this so it was usable. Bed frame broken at the top and is a hazard as it could fall. Bedding and pillows very old (lumpy pillows and piles on bedding where it had been washed so much). Advertised as having a hot tub but in-fact the hot tub is for the rental next door. Overall this was not as advertised and we would definitely not be booking again.

The treehouse is stunning! The tranquility of the area is fantastic! We got engaged here!! Would definitely visit again. Value for money 10/10

This is one must-book escape!
We had a phenomenal experience from start to finish. A chance to escape and unwind in nature with unique surprises around every corner and on every walk!
We will definitely be back, and have left a walking stick for everyone else to discover the hidden gems!
Enjoy!

We did meet one of the owners, who was very pleasant and accommodating, lovely spot to go for utter peace and quiet , with Penrith and Carlisle on your doorstep if you wanted to venture out. Plenty of home comforts, with treats on arrival. Highly recommend!!!!!!

We had a fantastic mini moon here! On arrival we was greeted by a lucky horse shoes with just married on which was a lovely gesture, inside we were greeted by 2 cards one from the owners and one from Classic Cottages, a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine, this was a lovely touch, having no signal or Internet was also great getting away from the hustle and bustle from everyday life, exploring the grounds which were beautiful and finding the little waterfall was the cherry on top, showering and bathing outside were also fantastic, everything you need is there we loved the quirkiness of everything! overall a unique and amazing stay, intend on returning but staying longer next time, thank you for giving us a memorable mini moon!

What a beautiful, secluded place within the tree tops.
Perfect to get away for our mini moon.
We could unwind and switch off in such wonderful surroundings.
We'll definitely be back!

Lovely place for a mini getaway ??

Our stay at Tawny Owl was nothing less than delightful. We had a last minute plan to spend time close to the lake district, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating to our needs such as later check in/check out times. The treehouse itself is exactly as the photos describe, if not nicer in person, you can tell they really took their time with designing/decorating the place. It's such a beautiful and serene location, a hidden gem for sure. As well as the beauty of the place, the hosts really thought about all the small details that guests would need, such as all necessary barbecue equipment, everything you'd have in your own kitchen, and they even left us a lovely bottle of bubbly to celebrate our anniversary. Overall, this is definitely saved in our favourites for whenever we need to escape the bustling cities.

Tawny Owl treehouse was an excellent location, really nice and peaceful.
It was creatively kitted out and we both had a very relaxing time.

Delightful and quirky, you have no choice but to relax
The outside bath and shower were fab. Lovely surprise when we opened fridge as the was milk and a bottle of wine.
Phone reception is a little hit and miss so prepare for no signal and hope for best.
Will need wellies or good walking boots as was extremely muddy when we stayed (March) around the surrounding wooded area.
Lovely little stream running through
Will need car/bike if you don’t like walking as it is about 4/5 miles from nearest store and pubs.
Keswick is about 15 miles away and full of amazing eateries including a fab Vegan restaurant

I booked 3 nights for my wife's birthday and honestly it was just perfect. The setting is so peaceful and we really lucked out with the weather. Sitting watching the sunrise with a morning coffee was just bliss! Communication was brilliant from the start, we had an amazing time and my wife loved it. Would highly recommend.

This is a great place - very peaceful. Bring your wellies if you want to explore around the site. Would really recommend this lovely place.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Tawny Owl Treehouse.

Spotless on arrival, a lovely gf welcome pack, and full of personal touches making it feel like home very quickly. The information provided was a lovely read and great to know how the tree house came about.

Thoroughly enjoyed the outside bath and shower, and the bed was so comfortable. The kitchen had everything required and more, and the BBQ was a great addition to enjoy outside cooking with the stunning views.

Kayaking nearby at Ullswater added to the fun, alongside lovely river walks locally. A relaxing and wonderful stay. The weather was perfect, which made our stay more special. A hidden gem of a place.

Welcoming and unique space to stay. Very cosy and relaxing, and the bath adds a lot to the experience. Perfect space if you want to cut off from society for a bit, you are never disturbed, however all contact numbers in case of emergency are left available. Many things in the property have been re-purposed making it very sustainable! Very well recommended.

Lovely property, very peaceful!
The other treehouse was a little closer than expected but still private.

We had the best time at Tawny Owl Treehouse, so relaxing and peaceful. It was great not having access to the Internet as it made us put our phones down and enjoy the peace and quiet!
We saw 2 deer when we were there which was the highlight of our stay.
The treehouse itself is so quirky and we loved reading up about the different features of it and where they had come from. There were so many unique touches about the place that really made our stay and we were so pleased with the cleanliness too, it's not easy in the middle of a wooded area.
Really beautiful place to stay and we will definitely be back.

Nice little private hideaway, up in the canopy. Near Carlisle, a 30/ 40minute drive from the Lake District.

Lovely and cosey, well equipped, nice outdoor area, with shower and bath and ash wood four poster bed.

Lovely gift of biscuits, wine and milk.

Thanks for our holiday weekend

We would highly recommend this treehouse. We absolutely loved it for a relaxing weekend away, beautiful setting and very peaceful, lovely walks near by and some great pubs. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the treehouse as there was plenty to see and it had everything we needed

Wonderful location and querky decor. Very quiet only natural sounds to be heard.

Enjoyed a lovely couple of days in this beautiful, cosy and comfortable treehouse. Peaceful location and left feeling totally relaxed and refreshed.

Hidden gem! Such a wonderful peaceful place away from reality. The outdoor facilities were brilliant. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you :)

Amazing place to stay!
The place is actually bigger than the photos let on and was super warm and cosy. We went in Feb and the heater they have there is perfect!
You must try the outside shower, it was lovely and warm and it's a very peaceful experience.
The place was beautifully presented and very eco (in the info pamphlet that talk you through what everything is made of- very interesting!)
They even made us a special hamper of vegan and nut free food and put up birthday banners which was a lovely touch!
Would go back again :)

It was a beautiful property, tastefully furnished, lovely host and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Lovely property for our weekend away. So nice to get away from the hustle and spend some time nestled in this beautiful location.

Thoroughly recommend and we'll definitely be back!
