Dear Christine,
We recently enjoyed a short break in Elk Cottage. The cottage was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean , warm, cosy and comfortable.
The generous welcome pack was lovely, containing plenty of local produce, logs for the fire and even tea light candles. Beautiful outside area for warm weather and plenty of convenient parking space.
Our stay was very well organised by the team at Rowley Estates, ensuring that our arrival and departure went smoothly.
We would love to return!
With many thanks,
Louise

This enchanting cottage extends a heartfelt welcome. Immaculately clean and adorned with luxurious touches. The crackling fire pit and fire place create a cozy haven where we spent all our evenings , playing games and watching the provided DVD’s. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting retreat for an experience that feels like a warm embrace from start to finish. Lastly, the welcome basket contained many local products which we enjoyed and took home with us to remind us of our lovely stay at Elk Cottage. We hope to be back for longer!

Truly an amazing stay, we couldn’t have been prepared for the absolutely stunning setting for this cottage! The cottage itself was immaculate, the gardens were private and pristine, and the décor was so in keeping and highlighted the heritage significance of the building! The entire cottage was so cosy and comfortable, the views were perfect, the furnishing and appliances available were amazing, and the gift basket was gorgeous and hugely appreciated. The hosts have left a good amount of information about the local area and places to go see and local walks which were very helpful when planning our day. Perfect for dog owners as they have set aside some space for a utility room with a hose just outside the door, and dog towels provided. I wouldn’t have changed a thing, other than increasing the amount of time we had booked to stay!

Thankyou again to Christine and your amazing housekeeping team, we can’t wait to come back!

This is our 3rd year at Elk Cottage. We absolutely love coming and love the surrounding areas. The Lake District is just so beautiful. Christine and her team are lovely as well and so helpful. We can’t wait to come back.

Second time we have stayed at the Elk cottage. This is a well presented cottage with wildlife out of every window. We love spending time here for a small get away with our busy lifestyles. The communication is second to non and are so grateful following our recent visit. My youngest left a teddy behind but only realising half way home. Christine emailed me back straight away and found the precious teddy. She was posted out and delivered the next day. I can’t wait to book another adventure to explore another area. Lots of walks in the area and for all abilities. Thank you again for an amazing time.

Had a lovely short stay at Elk Cottage. Beautiful location and extremely well apointed cottage with everything you could need for your holiday. The welcome pack was generous with lots of local treats!

This is the second time we have used Elk Cottage and follows a number of stays in Rowley Estate properties. We have always experienced extremely comfortable stays and all the arrangements in connection with the bookings have been carried fully and efficiently. We would strongly recommend Rowley Estates

Beautiful cottage with great furniture. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Nice central location for Lake District and Pennines.

We stayed at Elk Cottage for a weekend break. I’m so glad we found this cottage as it’s in a quiet and peaceful place with beautiful walks on the doorstep and friendly pubs nearby. The cottage is lovely and maintained to a high standard. The welcome hamper was fabulous with local produce and raspberry jam made on the estate. The beds were comfortable with quality bedding and a choice of pillows. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage it was very clean and was above and beyond our expectations . The welcome hamper was fantastic all basics and some extras included. They went above and beyond to make our stay both comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
