Riverain was amazing. The attention to detail was five star, from the beautiful Christmas tree and decorations to the luxury hamper, all made it really special. The cottage being so well equipped allowed us to make a very special early Christmas dinner for the family. Thank you, we will certainly be returning and will recommend to others.

From the moment we pulled up the driveway we were in awe of the property and its beautiful surroundings! The good vibes didn’t end there, with its lovely large lounge and well appointed kitchen to greet us as we walked in, we were immediately reassured that this was money well spent and if we needed any further convincing then we had only to look at the welcome hamper! It was the most generous welcome hamper we have ever come across not just in quantity but quality too! What’s more our host, Christine, had kindly provided suggestions of where we might like to visit making identifying places to keep our party entertained a breeze. It was like having our own PA! Just brilliant. Thank you Christine for your hospitality, we hope to be staying with you again very soon.

I just wanted to send a brief message to express how much we enjoyed staying at Riverain and thank you for the last minute alterations and info you sent regarding places to visit. Our day spent at Walby Farm Park went down a storm with the children whilst the adults looked forward to our well deserved complimentary bottle of wine from the super welcome hamper to aid our recuperation. A jewel of a holiday home! I’m sure we will look to return again soon!

Our stay in the Riverain Coach House, in the grounds of Blencowe Hall, was most enjoyable thanks to the elegant and comfortable accommodation, well furnished and equipped facilities and the splendid location. Clearly, Rowley Estates know a thing or two about pleasing guests for which we are very grateful and thank them for a memorable holiday which we shall long remember.

Very peaceful setting in countryside, with fascinating Blencowe Hall next door. Glorious & generous Welcome Hamper. Especially well stocked kitchen & bathrooms. Very warm despite sub-zero outside. Welcoming attention to detail. Cosy & luxurious lounge with leather sofas & large stove. All appliances & lights worked. Owner & staff very accommadating in allowing us a tour of Blencowe Hall. Very timely responses to all queries via email.

Fabulous property which is so well equipped (comfy beds, sharps knifes and all the kitchen gear needed to cook wonderful meals). Add to that the wonderful finishing touches from the hosts. We will return and can’t recommend enough.

We enjoyed a short autumn break at Riverain Coach House and would highly recommend a stay at the Rowley Estate. The location is great, with beautiful views and the lovely village of Greystoke nearby (we also recommend the Boot and Shoe for friendly staff and great food). The house has been renovated to a high standard while maintaining stunning original features. The Rowleys provide excellent service to make sure you enjoy your stay, and there was a lovely hamper left for our arrival with locally sourced products. Although the house is well heated, the log burner in the large living room also makes for a lovely cosy evening. We hope to return in the future.

Amazing place! Just what we wanted.

My family and I, including Prudence the Boxer, have just returned from two weeks away staying, at the Riverain Coach House and it was wonderful. The communication was perfect from start to finish. The arrival hamper was a really lovely touch and the Coach House was beautiful and so cool in the hot weather we had.

Christine and her team are amazing, absolutely exceptional service by everyone, especially Heather and would highly recommend their beautiful coach house to anyone. We will be returning again when we can.

Thank you for a wonderful two weeks.

Our family had such a great stay at Blencowe! We stayed in two houses, Cazenovia Hall and Riverain. Riverain was perfect for our group of 5 (and would accommodate 6 very comfortably). Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The three bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms were perfect (great water pressure to wake you up!). The kitchen and living room were well-appointed. The grounds were beautiful, and the property was centrally located for day trips to Ullswater as well as a tour of Hadrian’s wall. And, the welcome hamper made it easy to settle in on our first day. Highly recommend a stay at Riverain – don’t hesitate!
