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

Every Rowley place is the same – fabulously equipped, spotlessly clean, really well furnished and great facilities too. Christine and Charlie are masters at this – they run every property as if it is their own. We have now been to several and have always been super impressed. We had a great week with some uncharacteristically fine weather too. Thank you ‘Rowleys’ for a great week – again.

This was my 2nd stay at Blencowe Hall & it did not disappoint!. I arranged a surprise weekend for a friends 50th birthday with 22 guests who were all very impressed with the venue.
From the moment I enquired, the ongoing communication from Christine was 1st class. No only was I kept fully informed of all aspects with my booking, I also received information about caterers, local events & other services that could have been of use to us.
Blencowe Hall is quite simply amazing! A jaw dropping surprise for the birthday girl & all the guests.
We had one very small issue with hot water/heating which Christine arranged to be looked at within 10mins of me contactine her. The issue was outside the property but was immediately fixed & the rest of our weekend went without a hitch. Thank you so very much to Christine & her team for making our weekend truly memorable. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Blencowe Hall & we would 100% use again.

Our stay at hawthorn retreat was exactly what we wanted, a quiet place with beautiful surroundings. It was very well equipped and a lovely decked area to sit around at night with a glass of wine by the fire pit. Christine was a great host with good communication, we will definitely be returning in the near future.

A lovely place to stay for a long weekend break, will definitely go back for our trip next year!

We stayed at Blencowe Hall from Wednesday to Sunday with a group of 22 for a Traitors Weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. Every aspect of the accommodation suited our needs perfectly, from the spacious layout to the stunning setting and comfortable bedrooms.

Christine and her team were a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. The property is extremely well priced for the amount of space and quality it offers.

We had an unforgettable weekend and would definitely consider booking Blencowe Hall again next year if it is available.

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Retreat and can’t recommend it enough! The attention to detail was outstanding — from the generous welcome package to the endless supply of wood for the fire, everything was so thoughtfully prepared. Christine’s generosity and the little welcome treats were such a special touch. She’s an exceptional host, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. A real cut above the rest — we would return in a heartbeat!

We had a great stay at Glassonby Hall – would highly recommend!

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!
