Back home after a memorable week at the three places at Glassonby. Both Jenny’s Croft and Elk Cottage are wonderful, accommodating two of our families easily and comfortable with their two bedrooms with their own en-suites. The Hall was our meeting point for all 14 of us and served us without any problems at all. The children loved all the space with plenty of hiding places, views of the Pennines and the sheep! Truly marvellous accommodation for us all. Also, your recommendation of Lynn Hilditch for our celebratory meal was perfection itself – all the adults and all six children ate like kings. There was plenty of food and the choice of menu kept everyone happy and full. Their service and helpfulness were 5 star. Thank you all for a wonderful week.

Glassonby hall is a fabulous property, tastefully renovated and everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. From the well equipped kitchen, the plentiful welcome pack, cozy lounge, surprise snooker table, and super comfortable beds, it all combined for a perfect base. Add on the beautiful views, plentiful walks, and interesting places to visit nearby and we had the most relaxing family break.

We had a fabulous stay. The property and surrounding area is stunning. Very luxurious, great hamper, great communication. Thank you

We’ve just had 2 nights at Glassonby Old Hall – a lovely break in a beautiful and peaceful location. The property was perfect for a group of 6 old friends – plenty of space in the kitchen to cook and socialise, the dining hall made meals really special (as did taking the table top off and having fun playing snooker later) and the living room was perfect for cosy evenings together in front of the fire. The beds and bathrooms were all perfect too. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack which we worked our way through very happily. And for all the instructions and recommendations – we followed one of your recommended walks and really loved the area.

Absolutely loved this place, perfect for our family weekend away! The communication from Christine was so helpful.

We had a amazing time, the Hall was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We can’t praise the owners enough. The dishwasher broke and within a couple of hours a new one was installed, amazing service from lovely people

What an amazing place! Amazing venue – toasty and warm, clean, lovely accommodation. Christine was very accommodating of our needs and responded to any question prior to and during our stay promptly. Thank you

Glassonby Old Hall is beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a fantastic space for hosting (there were 8 of us). It’s really well kept with a luxury feel. We loved the welcome hamper provided! Added bonus… the snooker table! It’s situated in a great location, with Ullswater lake just 40mins drive away. There’s also plenty of walks nearby, we made use of the various walks listed in the folder provided.

I would like to start with one word- Fantastic!!!!  We stayed at the Glassonby Hall for 6 days at the end of August 2022.  We were 4 adults and 3 kids. The venue was absolutely amazing and comfortable for everyone.  Every little detail in the venue was with great thought and understanding of the guests needs, especially the quality self catering experience. The welcoming basket was a kind tribute we all enjoyed. After 5 nights, we didn’t want to leave… My kids called it “our new home” as they were so comfortable there. I highly recommend the venue and hope that we will be back in Glassonby Hall or any other Rowley estates venues soon.

Thanks to Christine & All at The Rowley Estates.
