5 star accommodation in the Lake District
Historic Grace meets modern luxury
Tucked away in the heart of Cumbria, where the Lake District meets the Eden Valley and the Cumbrian hills rise to the north, The Rowley Estates offers an exceptional blend of heritage and 5-star comfort. Our carefully restored estates include a stunning selection of self-catering holiday homes, from charming cottages and country lodges to grand historic houses—all set amidst some of the UK’s most glorious countryside.
At The Rowley Estates, every self-catering holiday is rooted in tradition and personal care. This land has been nurtured by the Rowley family for generations. We hand-cut logs for your fires, grow the raspberries in your breakfast jam, and craft the Christmas wreaths that decorate your doors. Each estate and holiday house has been thoughtfully curated to combine authentic character with luxury, ensuring an unforgettable stay.
Whether you’re exploring the lakes and fells, enjoying a family getaway, or seeking a peaceful retreat to write, walk, or dine in style, our Lake District estates offer something truly special. Perfect for couples, families, and groups, our homes are designed to welcome you into the very best of UK self-catering holidays. Discover the beauty of Cumbria with The Rowley Estates—where tradition meets timeless luxury in every cottage, lodge, and estate.
