Fabulous property which is so well equipped (comfy beds, sharps knifes and all the kitchen gear needed to cook wonderful meals). Add to that the wonderful finishing touches from the hosts. We will return and can’t recommend enough.

We enjoyed a short autumn break at Riverain Coach House and would highly recommend a stay at the Rowley Estate. The location is great, with beautiful views and the lovely village of Greystoke nearby (we also recommend the Boot and Shoe for friendly staff and great food). The house has been renovated to a high standard while maintaining stunning original features. The Rowleys provide excellent service to make sure you enjoy your stay, and there was a lovely hamper left for our arrival with locally sourced products. Although the house is well heated, the log burner in the large living room also makes for a lovely cosy evening. We hope to return in the future.

Amazing place! Just what we wanted.

My family and I, including Prudence the Boxer, have just returned from two weeks away staying, at the Riverain Coach House and it was wonderful. The communication was perfect from start to finish. The arrival hamper was a really lovely touch and the Coach House was beautiful and so cool in the hot weather we had.

Christine and her team are amazing, absolutely exceptional service by everyone, especially Heather and would highly recommend their beautiful coach house to anyone. We will be returning again when we can.

Thank you for a wonderful two weeks.

Our family had such a great stay at Blencowe! We stayed in two houses, Cazenovia Hall and Riverain. Riverain was perfect for our group of 5 (and would accommodate 6 very comfortably). Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The three bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms were perfect (great water pressure to wake you up!). The kitchen and living room were well-appointed. The grounds were beautiful, and the property was centrally located for day trips to Ullswater as well as a tour of Hadrian’s wall. And, the welcome hamper made it easy to settle in on our first day. Highly recommend a stay at Riverain – don’t hesitate!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay , everything about it is lovely from the cottage itself which is beautiful it has everything you need and wish for a totally 5 star experience that you will love ,to the scenery and landscaped gardens everything is special, wish we could have stayed a lot longer.

Thank you Christine, we had the most fantastic & relaxing time in your house. It is s very special location and we will hopefully return.

The house is in a beautiful setting with lovely views and spending just four days at the house has relaxed and recharged us. The decor, cosy feel is fantastic and we can’t wait to come back again.

Lovely stay at fantastic cottage. Process to book with Christine at the Rowley Estates was very efficient and information was very good. Arrived to find fantastic cottage, lovely and clean, very well equipped. The cottage was even nicer than we thought. All rooms en-suite and lovely furnishings. Fantastic welcome hamper, the best I’ve ever had and we’ve stayed in many cottages. Even the dogs had treats left for them too. We hired in a hot tub too which added to the stay. Everything we needed in the kitchen too. We will definitely stay with the Rowley Estates again. Thanks for our stay.

Stayed with Rowley Estates before and always enjoyed it, Riverain Coach house was exceptional, lovely and clean in a lovely area. Gorgeous log fire with plenty of logs for the fire. Bedrooms and bathrooms really nice as was the kitchen and lounge. The welcome hamper was really well stocked. TV had amazon prime video which was great. Christine and Jilly are lovely and very helpful. Would recommend staying here and with Rowley Estates

We just completed a Blencow hattrick by spending a lovely family Christmas in Riverain Coach House last month (having got married in Blencow Hall and also having tried out the Shepherds Huts), and couldn’t recommend the place more. Just like all the Rowley properties Riverain has been restored with great grace and care, yet to a very high standard for aesthetics and comfort. Equipped with everything you might need from the Wainwright guides, well stocked kitchen, luxurious linens, log store for the fire and even a thoughtful and practical welcome hamper, any of the Blencow cottages make a great base for a stay on the edge of the Lakes.
