Reviews

A gorgeous house with 4 bedrooms (3 large ensuing doubles, one smaller double with ensuing shower and twin room with adjacent bathroom) ,a huge kitchen with Aga and masses of everything one could want for staying and entertaining, crockery and glasses for 20 people , comfortable sitting room and stunning conservatory as well as outdoor seating and barbecues with charcoal provided. We were a group of 12 so 3 stayed in the Cruik Barn but all ate together. It’s easy to walk out of the house and straight into the surrounding hills, and the views from the house and patio are incredible. We couldn’t have been happier. The welcome hamper had a lovely selection of goodies including tea, coffee, biscuits and local fudge,and the meal we had catered by Lynn Hilditch as recommended when booking was fantastic, a real highlight of our stay. I’m pushing to make our visit an annual event as we came from Scotland, Hampshire and Cambridgeshire to meet and all agreed it was a perfect location.

Fantastic accommodation and welcome pack. Scenery outstanding and tranquil apart from a few noisy sheep! Would love to spend Christmas here – bliss!!

This house couldn’t have been any better ! Lovely setting with amazing views and wonderful walking straight from the door. Lovely cosy sitting area with wood fire for cold days and a beautiful sun room with views and easy access to a patio and garden for warmer days. Well equipped throughout with every little detail attended to and beautifully furnished. Great kitchen for self-catering and lovely pub/hotel within walking distance. Easy access to the Ullswater ferries. Friendly helpful manager and spotlessly clean. Delicious “welcome hamper” too. I would highly recommend this farmhouse, stables and barn as for our party of 17 walking friends it was just perfect !

Wonderful cottage in a very peaceful location with great views. Warm and welcoming, dog friendly. One of the best ever!

Modern, well equipped and well maintained property. Fully deserved of a 5 star rating. We hope to return at some point and would definitely recommended Kirkbride Hall to friends 

Came for complete rest: perfect. Everything beautifully presented and perfectly catered for. Thank you, going home refreshed.

Everyone knows Penrith is amazing, and this is by far the best property I have experienced in the area. 

Excellent location, high on comfort and quality. Great location as you can walk to a lovely cafe, grocery shop and pub. Wonderful cycling area on quiet roads and pretty villages. House itself has everything to make for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The dogs were chilled too. Thank you for a comprehensive welcome hamper too. Thanks to the Rowley Estate team
