We stayed at Birch Retreat for our Christmas as a family of three and we had the best Christmas ever. Birch Retreat exceeded all our expectations. It was lovely and cosy. It was always warm with central heating and a lovely log fire. Soooo many logs for the fires you will never run out. Gorgeous shower gel, shampoo and moisturiser to use. Lots of lovely towels to keep us going. Really comfortable beds. Everything you need in the kitchen. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the homemade jam was lovely. The area is lovely and quiet. There are 2 other cabins in view. Birch Retreat is on the end next to woodland and a river which was perfect for us as it gave us our own little private walk which our daughter loved each day. There is a lovely pub a quick walk down the road. We were sorry to leave, we had such a lovely peaceful time. Christine was a great attentive host. We hope to return and stay again! Thank you x

This home is simply wonderful. So cosy and a huge amount of space. Everything felt to the highest quality from the bedding to the decor. The kitchen is so well equipped for cooking and the views of the mountains were amazing. Our favourite memory were the sheep running down the road one morning with the farmer. The hampers were a kind and thoughtful touch. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Oak retreat, the property is just as described, was a lovely touch arriving to the goodies left by Christine. The location was great only being a 20 min drive from Keswick. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location, beautiful setting. Very well equipped and presented. Comfortable for our large party. Great choice for a big party.

Elk Cottage was just lovely. Like all the Rowley cottages it was really well equipped and tastefully decorated. We had a lovely time and went on several walks and a visit to the Lakes. Our Collie Molly loved the cottage and enjoyed keeping the local cat at bay!

We had a family weekend to celebrate a big birthday. We all enjoyed our stay in a wonderfully atmospheric environment, with great facilities of high quality. The adjacent Jenny’s Croft provided the additional sleeping accommodation we needed, and was self-contained and to the same high standard.
We would highly recommend these premises for an enjoyable stay.

Excellent, cozy hut in a lovely secluded spot, perfect for the two of us. As well as a great base for walks, we had breakfasts on the decking and a little drink in the evening with the log burner and saw the milky way. All of this with the gentle background sound of the stream. Idyllic.

We recently stayed at Hause Hall Farm (all 3 properties) for 7 nights to celebrate a 50th birthday. Wow – what an incredible place, it was everything we wanted it to be. Luxury house and furnishings, well equipped for all of our guests and everyone commented on how homely the house was. We were a group ranging in ages from 7 months to 78 and this accommodation delivered perfectly. The location is remote but this was a major positive for us, the scenery and walks right on your doorstep are heavenly. We will be re-booking for a return
