When selecting a large property to entertain 30+ guests, for a long weekend in a fine location, you won’t go far wrong than to select Blencowe Hall near Penrith.

With its ancient battlements and four feet thick walls, large rooms, very comfortable accommodation all round, with some bedrooms to die for, and the character of a medieval house, you will not be disappointed.

The Rowley Estate team, led by Christine, are fastidious in their endeavours to make the welcome one to remember and they couldn’t be more helpful.

An outstanding property.

I’ve lost count of how many times were used Blencowe to host our Retreats – yet the property blows us away again! Can highly recommend 🙂

Beautiful, amazing, stunning.

A really wonderful place to stay. Everything you could want is provided and the beds are so comfy. Super for children and dogs as well as adults.
Special memories made. Loved it.

We had an amazing stay for my Grandmas 80th birthday. The location was perfect and the castle was AMAZING. Christine was so responsive with any queries we had. Would love to return!

You use where possible local sourced food & products, we too tried to use local hospitality . It was everything we imagined … Having been to the hall for several events over the years , we ourselves knew what to expect, but the family were excited & impressed with the venue & food from Lynn Hilditch.
Thank you to The Rowley Team + Housekeeper Gail for making my 80th Birthday so memorable & such a success

We can’t express how perfect our 50th birthday has been and how much we and our guests enjoyed your beautiful property. It created the impression and the event we’d both wanted. The facilities and the overall spec are just second to none and all our guests commented on that.

Thank you for answering all our queries leading up to the event, and for helping to arrange the much needed help from Gail and the lovely young men.

Karen Rhodes catering were beyond excellent, and we’d thoroughly recommend them. The Elysia String Quartet were superb also and gave the ball the atmosphere it needed for us to Waltz around the Byre! Michael Coates events were phenomenal also, and he and his staff were just lovely and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves doing the clay pigeon shooting, archery and axe throwing. Once again – thank-you for everything. This was just the most perfect of weekends. We hope to stay with you again at some point.

Incredible stay. We have a large family (26 in total, with 14 kids!) and wanted to all be together for a 70th birthday. Before our stay, the owners could not have been more helpful with answering all of our questions and ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. The accommodation was amazing – great big spaces to all be together, with plenty of smaller snugs and spaces for quieter times, a brilliantly equipped kitchen, great bedroom sizes and plenty of bathrooms. Location is fantastic – would definitely love to come back again!

We had a fabulous weekend at Blencowe Hall, what a wonderful place. The facilities are brilliant. It was spotless and everything we could ask for, and the staff were brilliant.

Fabulous place
