The instructions to reach the hut were clear and easy to follow—we had no trouble finding it! We were warmly welcomed with some local food on arrival, which made the experience even more special. Everything we needed for our getaway was thoughtfully provided, including lovely shampoo and shower gel. Insect repellents were also available for outside, making it much more comfortable to relax outdoors. There is another hut on the property, but a small patch of forest between them ensured privacy and a sense of seclusion. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Christine’s place was wonderful and I would definitely return to one of her properties. My favourite thing about the house was the amazing view across to the Lake District but there were so many perks to the house. Our group of 9 were very comfortable, the kitchen was great for group cooking and the bedrooms all had a decent amount of space. There is no dud bedroom. The welcome hamper was much appreciated and we really relaxed in the house.

We have stayed in “The Lakes” a number of times but Riverain is by far the best property that we have stayed at. Spacious and well appointed, it had everything that we wanted. Christine is very well organised and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The comprehensive welcome Hamper was a real bonus. The sun shone every day and we enjoyed scenic walks and barbeques. Yes, this really was the Lakes….Brilliant

We enjoyed our stay at Hause Hall Farm while we were celebrating Tom’s 80th birthday. Everything was in place to enable us to make the most of the wonderful environment and the Hall itself. We were made to feel so welcome and felt so comfortable in every way by Rowley estates. The superior accommodation and Martindale itself all contributed to a wonderfully memorable celebration. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rowley Estates as we have stayed in several of their wonderful premises over the years. Hause Hall however surpassed all expectations!

We had a fantastic stay at Kirkbride Hall. The house was beautifully kept, spacious, and impressively well-equipped—from a generous welcome hamper to logs for the fire and charcoal for the BBQ. The 2-in-1 pool/dining table was a real hit and kept us entertained every evening. The large garden and peaceful setting were perfect for our group, and our dogs loved the space—as well as the thoughtful treats left for them. The house was spotless on arrival, and the detailed local info packs helped us plan each day with ease. Christine made the whole booking process smooth and stress-free, especially impressive with six dogs! She was welcoming, responsive, and made us feel completely at home. Every detail was clearly considered, and it’s clear the Rowley Estates team takes great pride in their properties. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kirkbride Hall and look forward to booking another Rowley Estates stay soon. Thank you for a memorable break!

Lovely shepherds hut! Beautiful location with Penrith town just a short distance away. Lovely, attentive host! We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful weekend in the Lake District, staying at beautiful Blencowe Hall absolutely stunning property in a fantastic location just a mile outside a beautiful village of Greystoke. Everything perfect for large groups, all bedrooms beautifully furnished and decorated honestly amazing. Couldn’t fault booking process and all correspondence received up to, during and after our stay, I would honestly recommend it’s a gem of a place.

Wow, just wow. This place is a tranquil piece of luxury in the heart of Cumbria. The hut had absolutely everything you would need and more, thank you so much for the thoughtful bread, coffee, eggs, and jam for our arrival! We would not hesitate to recommend to anybody who wants to relax, unwind, and enjoy a beautiful stay in the peaceful countryside!
