Dear Christine,
We recently enjoyed a short break in Elk Cottage. The cottage was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean , warm, cosy and comfortable.
The generous welcome pack was lovely, containing plenty of local produce, logs for the fire and even tea light candles. Beautiful outside area for warm weather and plenty of convenient parking space.
Our stay was very well organised by the team at Rowley Estates, ensuring that our arrival and departure went smoothly.
We would love to return!
With many thanks,
Louise

Loved this accommodation! Perfect place for something a bit different. Loved having our own private clearing with really nice outside seating area and where the cabin is situated is lovely- perfect for getting away from it all. Shepherd’s hut had everything we needed, was very clean and lots of nice littles touches like breakfast items/local produce left. Very good value for money and would definitely recommend and return. Communication with Christine was great and she provided clear and detailed instructions. Thanks again!

Amazing Place To Stay. Had Everything We Could Need For Our Weekend. Couldn’t have Asked For a Better Place to visit. Super Peaceful and Views Were Incredible.

Had a wonderful weekend getaway. Beautiful Shepards hut (with everything you could need and more) surrounded by great views and was extremely peaceful. There was plenty to do nearby and lot of ideas from the host too. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

An excellent holiday cottage; warm; comfortable and well equipped. An enclosed garden for our dogs with an outside ‘dog shower’ and an electric power point which we used to charge our bicycles. Electric car charging points were also available. The welcome hamper was the best that we have had in any holiday cottage. It is also well situated for the Northen Lake District and a particularly good centre for cycling.

After a lovely weekend getaway for our anniversary. We would like to both like to say a massive thank you to you and the rowley estate team for such a lovely stay at larch retreat. It was made extra special with the welcome hamper which was truly unexpected, it certainly started off our weekend well. The Shepards hut was wonderful, everything we’d hoped and more. The little ideas for days out were very helpful and gave us plenty of thing to do throughout the weekend and definitely somethings to come back for.

Gill Beck Farm is a truly magnificent break and you will find all you need is catered for – even an Aga! The property is warm and cosy, perfect after a Cumbrian walk. I will certainly return to Gill Beck Farm or another of the Rowley Estate properties when back in Cumbria.

Amazing stay at Melberby Hall celebrating my dads 70th Birthday. We had 5 families across varying ages and a few dogs. The place was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Stunning house, wonderful location and fabulous hosts. Thank you and hope to be back again one day!

Myself and my wife have been staying in dog friendly cottages since we had our first dog 11 years ago.
We have stayed in quite a few cottages, but have only managed to be really pleased with about 4.

I can safely say that Jenny’s Croft has probably been the closest to being perfect as we have stayed in.

Had a great time , great location nice and private and a great base to explore the Lake District, the shepherds hut was delightful and the welcome pack was excellent.
