Cosy little place on the edge of the lake district with great details. Clean, warm, hot water plus bread, tea, milk, juice, coffee, muesli and jam left for guests, even those staying a couple of nights. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning location, hearing the running river in the background is the cherry on top. Place was clean and surprisingly well equipped. Ideal location for getting to hikes and sights, would for sure visit again!

We stayed at Blencowe Hall for a long weekend from 31st October with our family and friends. This was for our Civil Partnership ceremony and celebration weekend. We are local to the Penrith area and fell in love with the property when we were looking for a big house for our celebration weekend.

Blencowe Hall is fabulous, a stunning building which has been incredibly well renovated. Especially the tower with glass frontage. We stayed in Cromwell’s Folly – stunning. Beautiful property, very well equipped with lovely bedrooms and communal spaces. It was everything we would expect from a 5 star property. Lovely toiletries too and the property was immaculately clean. All our guests loved their bedrooms and weekend at Blencowe Hall.

We also hired The Byre for our ceremony and celebration meal. It is such a lovely, light space which we decorated ourselves – with colourful lanterns and fairy lights. The arch window at the end of the Byre is beautiful. We had such a magical day and weekend, memories we will treasure forever.

Christine and Joanna were so helpful and excellent in their communication.

We had a wonderful time – thank you so much. Would highly recommend Blencowe to anyone looking for a special occasion celebrations.

We also had family and friends staying at Cazenovia Hall, which they loved too.

Cazenovia Hall is a wonderful place to stay. It is warm, comfortable and well-appointed, with luxurious rooms and stunning views. We were part of a larger group in Blencowe Hall, and so didn’t spend as much time in Cazenovia as it deserved. It was a lovely, calming place to come back to at the end of each busy day. It would make a great base from which to explore the beautiful local area, too.

We took our family of 18 plus extra boyfriends/ girlfriends of grandchildren to Melmerby Hall Rowley Estates over Halloween weekend I highly recommend the accommodation- everything we needed was so well catered for. We all loved the Hall and the grounds and appreciated the extra wonderful touches like – hairdryers and lovely products in the bathrooms. The welcome pack of goodies and the helpful and friendly communication of Christine Rowley herself. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We just had the most wonderful week in Kirkbride Hall. Christine was so helpful and lovely in all of her correspondence. The property is exactly as described and the welcome basket and the essentials in the fridge were simply amazing. We can’t wait to go back soon.

We had a fantastic week in the shepards hut. The hut had everything we needed for our stay. Christine was very proactive with recommendations etc prior to our stay. Would definitely recommend these huts!!

Had a lovely stay at Gill Beck Barn. The surrounding area was beautiful and the house was lovely and cosy. The garden was the perfect size for our 3 dogs to run around. Would love to stay here again in the future!

We had a brilliant stay at rowan retreat. Peaceful and beautiful views . Christine was a lovely host always responding quickly , we appreciated the recommendation of pubs and walks around the area and lovely breakfast foods. Fire pit was great ! Great place to stay for exploring the lakes and hiking places . Would recommend and will come stay again definitely!
