Overview

Jenny’s Croft has great views of the Pennines, a large open plan living and dining area separated by a large double sided wood burner. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large American style fridge freezer. Last but not least are the two ensuite double bedrooms, one of which can be set up as twin with zip and link beds.

Jenny’s has been in Rowley family for over 150 years. It was converted from a large barn in 2010 to a luxury two bedroom cottage.

Cook up a storm in your oak and granite kitchen, then serve it in style around the formal dining table. Stoke the wood burner in the heart of the croft, toasting both eating and living spaces. Uncork the wine from your welcome hamper and gather on sumptuous sofas for film nights and banter. Or retreat to the quiet nook behind the dining room to read and dream in peace. Keep mud at bay in your well-equipped utility room, or let the outside in and fling open the kitchen door onto your sandstone terrace.

Jenny’s Croft is all hearth and heart. You’ll yearn to return.

If you can bear to leave...

Take the Ullswater Steamer to explore the trails round Aira Force. Or simply step outside your own front door and ramble from Dale Raven along the banks of the Eden River. If you after a bit of adrenalin try the zip wires, paintballing and quad biking on the estate. Enjoy the genteel pleasures of Michelin-starred lunch at Sharrow Bay or a play at the Theatre by The Lake at Keswick. On lazy days, pick up coffees, cakes and cash along with papers and groceries in the village shop at Kirkoswald a couple of miles away. Sup local ales at The Fetherston Arms and The Crown.

We recently had a wonderful 8 day stay at Jenny’s Croft in May 2026. The cottage is so lovely and nestled in the small village of Glassonby. There are many fine walks to take out your front door and they take you through the beautiful countryside of the Eden Valley....

Had a lovely stay at Jenny’s Croft (and adjoining Glassonby Old Hall) for a family get-together – plenty of space, very clean, good facilities, excellent provisions for children and dogs and a very generous welcome hamper. Just note there are a few steps in the hall for toddlers/people with mobility...
