We had a wonderful stay at the Shepherd’s cottage, peaceful and beautiful. The place was very well equipped, clean and cosy

This is our 3rd time staying at Gill Beck Barn, it’s an amazing place to stay when wanting to explore the lake district ! Communication from Christine and the team is fantastic and the welcome hamper is to die for ! I would thoroughly recommend and we will be back for our 4th visit soon 🙂

80th birthday party was really brilliant!

We stayed at Blencowe Hall for a long weekend to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday, with 20 family members spanning three generations. It was a really great experience.

The house is magnificent, full of character and history, but also comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves, whether spending time together or finding a quiet corner.

The setting is beautiful, and the house provided the perfect backdrop for a weekend of family celebrations, including a formal dinner, games, clay pigeon shooting and a murder mystery evening. It really is a special place for bringing family and friends together. Christine and Joanna were super helpful with recommendations.

The experience felt both luxurious and wonderfully relaxed. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest had a fantastic time, and we came away with some very happy memories.

A wonderful property that more than lived up to expectations. We would wholeheartedly recommend Blencowe Hall for a special family gathering or celebration.

Hi! Thank you for letting people stay in your home it has a lovely view and house layout is good to play hide and seek.

Really lovely little hut with great surroundings. Was very well equipped and we had a lovely stay, Christine gave lots of information and some helpful recommendations.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Christine’s shepherds hut. The place was immaculately clean, with beautiful views and such peaceful surroundings. The shepherds hut was completely full of everything we needed and the added bonus of an incredible personalised welcome hamper that was greatly appreciated – there wasn’t anything that hadn’t been thought of. Christine was very responsive when we needed her and we are so grateful for such a lovely trip away. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful sheperds hut sheltering from some stormy October weather in the cosy hut equipped with central heating and solar power but still easily accessible to all the popular Lake District attractions – some great pubs near by the Kings Arms Stainton was a particular favourite! Would return should we come back to the area!

It was my sister’s 60th birthday and 30th wedding anniversary, our aunt’s 80th birthday and nieces 18th and 21st birthdays, so we wanted to some special, hiring Blencowe was definitely that, a castle to ourselves! All the bedrooms and bathrooms we needed and plenty of reception space. It’s very well equipped. Lots of good walks and places to visit. You can walk to the local pub. We dressed up and had private caterers (Lynn Hilditch) for the Saturday night, which was a brilliant decided, it was lovely to use the private dining room, be served and actually good value when you can drink your own drink and no need for taxis! Highly recommend
