The location is stunning. Very special indeed. Beautiful views. We hired a hot tub and it was SO perfectly placed for gazing up at the mountains and down Martindale. This was our second stay at Hause Hall, Cruik Barn and The Stables for a family get-together. It’s worth noting that all the properties are very well insulated, draft-free and really warm. Both times we’ve stayed here have been in winter and both times have been wonderful.

One of the best holiday cottages we have visited. Rather like a self catering boutique hotel.

This has to be one of the most luxurious family holidays we have ever had. So clean, so spacious and don’t just sleep 16/18 of us. It fitted you comfortable throughout the house. When organising a large group for a holiday again in England no need to look anywhere else. Absolutely lovely and Christian and the Rowley Estates team looked after us so well. Highly recommend.

I woke up in this beautiful little retreat on my birthday. It is really special and such an antedote to the noise and demands of modern life. From the woodburner keeping the place super cosy, to the brilliantly simple and comfortable table/bed and the personal touches like freshly baked bread, locally produced coffee and homemade jam. The little wood the hut is in is very nice and we were able to drive into it and park our van right next to the Larch retreat. Cows and sheep as neighbours, wide open spaces and very well placed to visit any part of the Lake district. As for romantic…don’t get me started!
Thank you

Lovely place! Very relaxing.

Larch Retreat is nestled in the most peaceful little woodland and has great views across the northern Lake District. We loved waking up to views of a snowy Blencathra from the warmth of the shepherds hut. Christine was a great host and we found the hut very easily. It was also brilliant having milk, butter, bread and tea provided as we arrived quite late after work and hadn’t had time to pick up those supplies for breakfast. We also made the most of the fire pit and wood provided and stayed out to watch the Taurid meteor shower. We would definitely recommend a stay in Larch Retreat.
