![Elm Retreat luxury glamping shepherds hut at The Rowley Estates near the Lake District National Park private wooden deck river front access and woodland](https://www.therowleyestates.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/190196871-700x524.jpg?x39012)
An idyllic riverside retreat set in private woodland of the Blencowe Hall estate.
Bluebells, red squirrels, songbirds. The turning of the seasons as colours shift in dappled light. At night the moon rises through laced branches of blackthorn and oak and the owls hoot.
It’s so magical we want to offer you a way to linger here. Head on foot through the fields and find your glamping haven in a secluded spot along the River Petteril.
Your hut is architect-designed to enhance space and comfort. Inside, reconnect with a simpler life. There’s no Wi-Fi here, so swap stories, play cards by candlelight or read by solar power.
Enjoy complete privacy with your own Scandinavian-style shower room and open-plan kitchen with a gas hob, oven and fridge. Dine al fresco using the Weber barbeque or whip up a boutique gourmet meal using the hob and gas oven. Relax in the Adirondack chairs whilst throwing a log on the fire pit and count the stars in style.
Wander down to the riverside and relax in the Adirondack chairs reading a book, chill at the garden table, fire up the Weber charcoal barbeque or light the fire pit in the evening time.
It’s glamping with luxury – resting on crisp Egyptian cotton linen sheets, cooking on a double burner gas hob with a separate small size LPG oven, chilling the drinks in the fridge and enjoying a hot shower whilst your towels warm on the chrome towel rail and even having a regular flush loo.
The Rowan Retreat is set in a secluded part of the River Petteril valley. The Lake District National Park, beautiful Ullswater lake and Aira Force waterfall are close at hand. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of crystal-clear lakes, mirroring the Lake District Fells or seek out a peaceful retreat in nature in Rowan’s private wooded glade.

Outstanding, beautiful, quiet and very much a place to enjoyed without technology. Host was really helpful and there is lots of walking and exploring to do nearby. Definitely will be recommending.

Fantastic accommodation in a picturesque location, we spent 3 nights here and the only complaint I have is that we didn’t stay longer!
My partner and I loved our stay. There was a lovely welcome hamper of essentials. We had clear instructions of how to get there. It is a beautiful secluded retreat ☺️
We absolutely loved our stay at Rowan Retreat. The hut was so cosy and peaceful and had everything you need. The area was tranquil but within a short drive of everything you need, plus close to the lake district. Perfect stay and would definitely come again!
