Thank you for a lovely stay! Such a great location and very well equipped hut. Would love to stay again!

I had very relaxed long weekend in a shepherd’s hut – Hawthorn retreat. Christine and her team had thought of everything, from great communication, a very generous welcome hamper and a useful information folder. The Rowley Estates is in a stunning part of the country with so much to offer from great walks to beautiful castles and lots more, but if you just want to sit back and relax the scenery is just breathtaking.
I would highly recommend a stay, you won’t be disappointed. I will definitely be returning. Thank you

Melmerby Hall ticked all the boxes. The most amazing property any member of the party had ever stayed in. From start to finish Christine and her team were brilliant down to the last detail. From the welcome hamper, the bathroom products, the well equipped kitchen, the grounds and outdoor games, it exceeded all our expectations, no one wanted to leave! We had a drop off meal and a celebration dinner from the wonderful Lynn Hilditch and the most amazing cake from Sara Ruddick! So pleased we discovered the Rowley Estates . I am trying to find another reason to visit again!

Hi Christine
Just a quick note to say thank you for making my trip to Hawthorn retreat so lovely. From your directions to the wonderfully generous welcome pack it all made for a relaxing stay. The handbook was very useful and I enjoyed doing a couple of the walks, and to finish off I went and picked some delicious raspberries which I have now made into jam!
I will definitely be recommending The Rowley Estate to family and friends.
Thank you

Outstanding, beautiful, quiet and very much a place to enjoyed without technology. Host was really helpful and there is lots of walking and exploring to do nearby. Definitely will be recommending.

Hause Hall is a very special place: amazing views, wonderful walks from the farm and really generously and thoughtfully equipped. Our families had the best time and the owner could not have been more helpful with information and advice. Highly recommended!

Lovely well appointed cottage and grounds. Everything for a comfortable stay is provided. Some good walks from the front door or easy access to the more central lakes.

Lovely accommodation in a great location.

We booked a weekend break at the elm retreat in a shepards hut and we was not dissapointed it was beautiful a fully equipt kitchen to a spotless bathroom with toiletries provided it even came with a BBQ and firepit and everything to go with it. The hamper with breakfast items was a lovely touch and Christine was on hand at all times if we needed anything great quality good service we will be returning great value for money.
