Reviews

This is one of those places you’re reluctant to leave a review as you want to keep it a secret. However, I feel that the owners deserve to be praised and as an AirBnb superhost I know how important positive reviews can be. We had an unforgettable time here. The property is outstanding – full of character and charm. Our partly of 19 all had ensuite facilities which is very difficult to find in a period property. All was clean and the kitchen very well supplied with ample, quality equipment. Grounds were beautiful and well maintained. We will be returning as a family group some time in the not too distant future.

We had a very relaxing stay, we loved the peaceful and beautiful surroundings.
Amazing spot to cut yourself off and enjoy nature.

We were really happy with our stay! The hut was lovely and the location was perfect for our trip, very highly recommend staying here 🙂

We just want to say thank you for a lovely stay in a lovely spot. Maple Retreat was comfortable, peaceful & everything we hoped it would be for a slow weekend. Arriving to find the local produce was a lovely extra surprise too & much appreciated, especially after a long drive. The damson jam was excellent in granola bowls, our favourite breakfast. We enjoyed the barbecue, fire pit, and extra cold fridge! the foldaway bed, which made the space feel so much bigger through the day, & of course the views through the Woodland & across the fields. We spotted plenty of hares, lots of birds, a rare deer & a surprise frog! The short walk into the village was also ideal, especially to have amenities like the local pub & the Old Village Bakery just on the doorstep. It was the perfect balance of quiet seclusion & easy access amenities. All in all we would absolutely recommend the Maple Retreat & the wider Rowley Estates to anyone looking for a luxury staycation.

We had such an amazing stay at the Oak Retreat. Christine went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed & were as comfortable as possible.
She recommended some taxi companies, things to do in the area – and the welcome basket was a beautiful touch! Thank you. It was just what we needed.

Excellent venue for a large group of people, superb facilities and always lovely and clean when we arrive. We have used Blencowe Hall 5 times for birthday and reunion celebrations and it never disappoints, its a joy to be in such a wonderfully restored building. Everyone who we invite falls in love with the Hall and marvels in its history. Thanks to Christine, Charles and their super housekeeping team, highly recommend a stay here.
