Complete seclusion means total privacy with only wildlife for company. The open-plan living space keeps you connected while the comfortable double bedroom provides a peaceful night's sleep after countryside walks.
Pet Friendly
Park Brook Retreat has a strict no-pets policy. This helps maintain the property's cleanliness and protects the local wildlife that visits regularly.

Park Brook Retreat Reviews

Pics are a bit out of date but this retreat is amazing its beautiful, really back to nature, we got visited daily by a pheasant, squirrel, dear and Herons even spotted a kingfisher, everything you could need to cook, eat etc is included, shower is amazing and love the log burner. Definitely will return, Andy really friendly and helpful and the hot tub is amazing.
If you want peace and quiet and almost complete isolation this is the property for you! My wife and I had a wonderful relaxing week far away from lifes everyday pressures. Everything you need is in Park Brook Retreat and the hot tub is a fabulous bonus we used it every evening to our great pleasure. Also much to my wife's enjoyment our only visitors almost everyday was a very insistant Pheasant and the occasional squirrel both of which insisted on being fed by hand! Without doubt the pictures on the website are very outdated, shrubs and trees having grown considerably since the photos were taken. However we feel this added to the very private setting! Our only observations are that a mat inside the front patio door would help with keeping the sitting area floor clean! Also if the grass front and back had been cut it would have given a much more enhanced view of the property particularly on arrival and when sitting on the outside patio! Excellent week we will be back.
After driving up a track we came to our chalet in the woods, very little room to turn the car around, chalet and surroundings nothing like photos about 10 years out of date grass was knee high so couldnt sit out the back. Chalet was smaller than I was expecting. Very little room around the bed and I was covered in bites. Lovely and relaxing especially from the hot tub. Loved being visited by pheasant and squirrel.
The first issue we had was the bed. Whilst described as a double on the Sykes web site it fails to mention the fact that it is a small double. My wife and i both suffer with bad backs and could not get a good nights sleep, to the point at which we left early and booked into a Hotel. Second was the area around the Cottage. Shown as cleared and well maintained on the web site its was anything but. The area to the front of the Cottage was overgrown and the area at the back of the Cottage was overgrown to the extent that we couldn't use the picnic table or washing line. The outside of the Cottage seemed to be covered in years of dirt and inside the ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom had paint peeling off. My wife was unable to us ethe hairdryer provided due to a burning smell and overheating and we had issues with power to the lamps in the bedroom and the power to the Cottage. When we contacted the owner he was off site over 2 hours away.
Had a wonderful week staying here. Nice and private out of the way, and only one other lodge onsite. Everything you could need in the lodge, large basket of logs supplied. We had an issue with the hot tub, this was resolved very quickly by the owner, who was very friendly. Whilst we were there we walked around Nicky Nook, ventured further to scafell pike & Windermere. Locally we ate in the Barn in Scorton, which was worth a visit. The only thing I can say that could improve was the blind in the bathroom, and the mattress was quite soft. Other than that everything was great!
Wonderful time, total relaxation. Loved the wildlife
Really nice stay. Very cosey, log fire and hot tub. Surroundings were beautiful and it was very private. A very enjoyable stay.
Graham
Our stay at Park brook retreat was absolutely brilliant. As soon as we arrived we loved the place . Loved the cabin and everything about it., everything you need for your stay is there from kitchen utensils, towels, slow cooker , air fryer, a big basket of logs for log burner which is fantastic and heats the cabin quickly. Also central heating if you prefer using that. We were greeted by a pheasant who ate nuts from your hand, squirrels running around and peaking through the patio window waiting for treats. The place was fantastic and the hot tub was brilliant. If you stay you won't want to leave. We will definitely be returning. Thanks very much Andy. Gray & Lou.
Alexandra
Such a beautiful spot by the river, surrounded by trees and nature. The pheasants and squirrels on the patio were a delight and it felt a really private hideaway. The host came promptly when I had a concern about the oven and the facilities including the hot tub were clean and more than ample for a 2 night retreat. I would definitely come again.
Our fourth stay at the retreat, we love being surrounded by nature and the wild life. The hot tub is a bonus but we didn't use it this time because of the weather. The property is remote but a short drive to the village. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day.
This is just what we had been looking for as a little getaway for some back to nature chilling. The pheasant was at the door before we had unpacked and the squirrels visited us regularly. It was great to sit in the jacuzzi watching the meteor showers every night. Andy was so helpful in keeping the jacuzzi clean and making sure we were ok. Will be back.
Thomas
Throughly enjoyed it. Quiet and relaxing. Fully equipped of everything you could possibly need. Visits from squirrels and pheasants all day. Will go again.
Best holiday we had for a few years, what a fantastic place this is Beautiful surroundings Very relaxing holiday Highly recommended when looking for a beautiful break away.
After booking our stay, I found some negative reviews of the property, which worried me a little. However, we also found many great reviews and as it turned out, the positive reviews were accurate. The property has two cabins, but they are positioned in a way that they don't interfere with each other. The place is peaceful with plenty of wildlife, although some of it may be a bit overwhelming you know who you are pheasant. I particularly enjoyed the squirrel that would visit us every morning and knock on the door for food. The owners are very friendly, attentive and available if needed. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with a hot tub to enjoy soaking those aching muscles and the stress of work, this place is a great choice.
Wow what a haven! Surrounded by pheasant, geese, ducks, deer, squirrels, sheep, woodpecker and a variety of birds. Absolutely brilliant even though it rained every day.
Fabulous place. Wild life in abundance both birds and animals. Had good clear skies so was able to watch the stars from the hottub. Would highly recommend.
The quilt is stained and needs replacing
We had an absolutely phenomenal time!
Norman
Great place to stay, wonderful host. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay
I rarely give 5 full marks in every category for any context, but the Park View Retreat was simply perfect! A great location, private and picturesque, and with so much friendly visiting wildlife! The accommodation was comfortable, warm and lovely, and with everything we needed for a great week. The hosts Andy & Julia provided nice welcoming touches, for example logs by the fire and wine in the fridge, and were attentive throughout the week whenever needed. Wondeful!!!
Cynthia
Fabulous location. Lots of lovely wildlife to watch in a calming environment. The property was very well equipped, we had everything we needed and more besides. Lovely to have a large basket of firewood provided so we could relax by the fire after soaking in the hot tub enjoying the wine provided by Andy. Both Andy and Julie were helpful and accommodating throughout our stay.
Fabulous place to rest and relax. Beautiful area to be in. Plenty to do in the area. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will be back soon

Perfect Retreat ! ! Lovely cabin that has everything you need in a ideal secluded spot, also now has a ninja that does make cooking in the cabin easier
Charmayne
Excellent cottage in a peaceful and tranquil setting, we will definitely book again
I was almost tempted to lie about this property, the area etc as it's such a hidden gem. But I can't. Staying here I felt like a Disney princess. Early morningdusk cue the deer grazing on the slope opposite. Early afternoon and here come the geese having a brief paddle in the stream and disappearing upwards. At any time of the day pheasants wandering about aimlessly never the smartest of birds, bless, why people shoot them I have no idea as it would be more sporting if the sport was trying to NOT run over them. Finally, the bold squirrel knocks politely at the window asking if you happen to have any treats about you. It's just amazing. The cabin has almost everything you could need for a great stay 1 minor irritation is no bathroombedroom bin just kitchen one but it's not that big of a deal. I have always thought that money is for experiences not things and so I always try to book interesting places to stay and have never gone back to the same place twice. I would for this place and am certainly planning to, if not this year then the next. The surrounding area too is so beautiful and not very touristy which I like. I have to say the best holiday I've had in this country.
The location is absolutely beautiful, in a valley surrounded by trees with the brook running right by the property. We had a wonderful time, relaxing in the hot tub watching all the wildlife around us pheasants, deer and rabbits in abundance. The cabin is very spacious and cosy for two people. There is another cabin close by but not overlooking. Arrival and key collection was very simple, a keycode for the main gate ensured no one could accidentally come down the road. Minor feedback 1. Could use an extra set of towels for taking outside to the hot tub. 2. Could use some plastic glassware for use outside and in the hot tub. Overall, an amazing place to stay, secluded and surrounded by nature, no traffic or roads nearby. Would definitely stay again.
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. It is peaceful with beautiful surroundings in a gorgeous location. Great facilities in the property and the hot tub at sunset with a glass of your favorite libation is a dream.

A really nice quiet location, picturesque with amazing views. The cabin was nice and clean and the right size for a week away. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I needed peace and quiet and this was the perfect place. What a lovely place this is. The cabin has everything you need and more with the log fireplace and the hot tub. Perfect way to relax after a day out walking. Not forgetting the lovely wildlife that surrounds you. This place is wonderful and I cant wait to come back next year.
Absolutely love this cottage second time we have been and will be coming back again its so tranquil the people who own the cabins are really friendly and helpful cant do enough for you if you need them other than that they leave you to your holiday. The surrounding areas are very quaint
Jackie
Beautiful area, secluded with wildlife on the doorstep literally. We picked the hottest week of the year so far and felt very lucky . We spent a lot of time in the hot tub while looking across the fields and trees and enjoying the sunset and walking into the village no pub sadly but a couple of really lovely places to eat and drink which close at 4 and 5pm. We ate fabulous meals in The Barn and having a glass of wine in the hot tub is a tough one to top. Yes there is occasionally some traffic noise from the M6 but you can forgive that as everything else makes up for it. Andy left us a bottle of wine and a jug of milk in the fridge which was lovely. A great place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a fantastic week in this special place. The peace and quiet of this rural location was a great break away from our everyday city life. The cottage was cosy, had everything you could need and more. We enjoyed viewing the dark skies from the hot tub and meeting the local wildlife including squirrels, hedgehogs, deer and pheasants. Highly recommend a week here to recharge your batteries and make you fall in love with life all over again.
