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

We enjoyed a peaceful stay at Gill Beck Barn.

Hause Hall was the absolutely stunning. It was the perfect place for a friends and family gathering of 14 people. There are plenty of hiking trails close to the house and lots of beautiful farm land. The management company and Christine made sure that the place was pristine upon arrival. They also provided lots of amenities to make our stay warm and comfortable. It made our family reunion one to remember. There were no tissues in the air bnb, so if you think you will need them, bring them. If you plan on cooking – the air bnb had lots of spices, oils, sugar, so you probably don’t need to bring those types things. It is pretty remote – to reach the Hause, one must drive on a one track road for about 20 min to get to house. We weren’t bothered by this because it is what we wanted, but it did add an extra level of patience and planning to go out and do stuff in the surrounding areas. Howtown Pier has no parking. So we had to drive to Pooley bridge to catch the Ullswater Steamer

This Shepard’s hut was perfect for what my partner and I were looking for. It was an isolated hut and it was very tranquil, with the sounds of the stream and the birds. The place was very clean and we were extremely grateful for the hamper of local goodies! Thanks for everything Christine

The instructions to reach the hut were clear and easy to follow—we had no trouble finding it! We were warmly welcomed with some local food on arrival, which made the experience even more special. Everything we needed for our getaway was thoughtfully provided, including lovely shampoo and shower gel. Insect repellents were also available for outside, making it much more comfortable to relax outdoors. There is another hut on the property, but a small patch of forest between them ensured privacy and a sense of seclusion. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Christine’s place was wonderful and I would definitely return to one of her properties. My favourite thing about the house was the amazing view across to the Lake District but there were so many perks to the house. Our group of 9 were very comfortable, the kitchen was great for group cooking and the bedrooms all had a decent amount of space. There is no dud bedroom. The welcome hamper was much appreciated and we really relaxed in the house.

We have stayed in “The Lakes” a number of times but Riverain is by far the best property that we have stayed at. Spacious and well appointed, it had everything that we wanted. Christine is very well organised and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The comprehensive welcome Hamper was a real bonus. The sun shone every day and we enjoyed scenic walks and barbeques. Yes, this really was the Lakes….Brilliant

We enjoyed our stay at Hause Hall Farm while we were celebrating Tom’s 80th birthday. Everything was in place to enable us to make the most of the wonderful environment and the Hall itself. We were made to feel so welcome and felt so comfortable in every way by Rowley estates. The superior accommodation and Martindale itself all contributed to a wonderfully memorable celebration. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rowley Estates as we have stayed in several of their wonderful premises over the years. Hause Hall however surpassed all expectations!
