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!

Recently stayed at the Oak Retreat for four days. First time I chose to stay at such a place & it didn’t disappoint. Clean, cozy & had everything my son & I needed. If there’s a place you want to visit to get away from all the noise this is it. I would certainly arrange to stay again.

Top notch Hut at a perfect location. Everything was just simply perfect. Highly recommended! Also, the home made Raspberry Jam was out of this world…Thank you Christine!

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!

An amazing Easter wedding weekend for my daughter & son-in-law, 2 horses & dogs! Just a glorious setting for the ceremony, the celebrations & an Easter egg hunt! The accommodation is excellent & we really appreciated the lovely welcome hampers. Thank you so much for helping us make some fabulous family memories; can’t wait to return to make some more!

I was impressed by the attention to detail for my daughters wedding. We had a number of questions, all of which were answered clearly. The support that we were given before and during our stay, gave us the confidence that the ‘big day’ would be a success.
The standard and versatility of accommodation, meant that families and unrelated groups could meet up, party or just chill, as we pleased.
The recommended caterers delivered a range of meals over 3 days, which met the needs of all ages and tastes.
It was a weekend to remember, but for all the right reasons.

We hired the whole estate for our wedding over Easter weekend. The Hall, the cottages, the shepherds huts, the grounds and the Byre were all stunning! So well equipped and the lovely little touches like welcome hampers, toiletries etc are a lovely welcoming touch. We came, along with 50 guests, our dogs and our horses and we didn’t want to leave. It was the most perfect weekend in the most beautiful setting! Christine and Joanna were just amazing throughout the whole planning process and were so welcoming when we arrived. Absolutely lovely people, lovely place, We will certainly be back.
If you’re looking to book, I would highly recommended and would also recommend Eden Catering solutions for your stay. They catered the whole weekend for us and were absolutely brilliant!

Gill Beck Barn was one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. Everything as catered for and the place was spotless, luxurious and in a magical location. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again and try some of the other properties.
