Elk Cottage was just lovely. Like all the Rowley cottages it was really well equipped and tastefully decorated. We had a lovely time and went on several walks and a visit to the Lakes. Our Collie Molly loved the cottage and enjoyed keeping the local cat at bay!

We had a family weekend to celebrate a big birthday. We all enjoyed our stay in a wonderfully atmospheric environment, with great facilities of high quality. The adjacent Jenny’s Croft provided the additional sleeping accommodation we needed, and was self-contained and to the same high standard.
We would highly recommend these premises for an enjoyable stay.

Excellent, cozy hut in a lovely secluded spot, perfect for the two of us. As well as a great base for walks, we had breakfasts on the decking and a little drink in the evening with the log burner and saw the milky way. All of this with the gentle background sound of the stream. Idyllic.

We recently stayed at Hause Hall Farm (all 3 properties) for 7 nights to celebrate a 50th birthday. Wow – what an incredible place, it was everything we wanted it to be. Luxury house and furnishings, well equipped for all of our guests and everyone commented on how homely the house was. We were a group ranging in ages from 7 months to 78 and this accommodation delivered perfectly. The location is remote but this was a major positive for us, the scenery and walks right on your doorstep are heavenly. We will be re-booking for a return

My stay at the Oak retreat was lovely. The location is perfect, the views were amazing and the property was very well kept. My expectations were exceeded and i would 100% recommend.

We felt welcome from the start, from the generous parking space, we walked through a gate into a beautiful walled garden, safe for the dogs to explore. Another gate took us into the private terrace, also dog proof. Entering Wythburn we found a doggy towel and bowls available to use. The cottage was warm, with a welcome hamper waiting for us and a jar of biscuits for the pooches. Wythburn had everything we needed for our stay; comfy seating, cosy wood burner ready to light, comfy beds and plenty of storage – we even found spare batteries for the TV remote control!
This is our fifth stay with Rowley Estates and fifth different property and every visit has been the same standard. There is no doubt that we will return.

Riverain is a very well appointed, comfortable and roomy cottage set in a lovely quiet private estate, perfect for a relaxing break. The welcome provisions were really appreciated. Good comms with the owners. We loved that all the bedrooms were en-suite, two of the rooms were enormous and the beds were all comfy, two of those with zip link super kings. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for the 5 adults in our group. The main living area had 3 lovely comfortable sofas and a huge log burner. The underfloor heating worked really well and there was plenty of hot water for showers. Penrith is only 10 mins away by car with good supermarkets and shops, Pooley bridge and Ullswater is only 15 mins away, Keswick about 20 mins. We had a lovely stay and will be returning when next in the northern lakes.

We’ve stayed at several of the properties over the years and wanted to try the clamping cabins. We were not disappointed! The use of space is well thought out and no comprise on the beds, kitchen and welcome goodies. The Birch Retreat is far superior than other clamping offerings countrywide.
