We had a brilliant few days at Melmerby Hall. The house is stunning, really well equipped and super spacious. We’ve been on similar trips to this over the past 14 years and our group thought Melmerby Hall was the best we have had.

Had a lovely stay at Gil Beck Barn with family & friends. Beautiful setting & fabulous property. Christine was very helpful & managed a minor issue promptly. Would highly recommend.

Had a fabulous solo stay in these fantastic shepherd huts. Lovely welcome pack and the hut was toasty and warm for my arrival. Relaxing surroundings for a peaceful break. Lots of walks /places to visit on the website/ instruction book. The hut had everything i hoped for – comfortable bed , well equipped kitchen , a shower that felt like you were in a hotel not a shepherds hut. Lovely lake district products in the bathroom. Everything was provided from the charcoal to the logs for the fire pit. Had the best stay and cant wait to return again.

What a lovely hut! The surroundings were so peaceful and picturesque. The host was hands off but I knew she was there if I needed her. The introduction book had lovely suggestions of walks and amenities in the local area. The local pub was a lovely place to visit for a drink after a long walk. The hut was clean and super cosy! A hamper of beautiful local produce was provided upon arrival and plenty of fire wood was provided for the fire pit and barbecue (the wood was a life saver after I got my walking boots soaked through on a hike as it allowed me to make a fire to dry them off!) We will definitely be back to visit again what a lovely place to stay!

Me and my partner are quite introverted and this stay maximised it! It was a perfect quiet setting but was not far from Keswick or anywhere we went. Christine gave us lots of great foods for our stay and it was really everything we wanted. Walking up to the sheep in the fields and seeing the mist on the hills was the perfect greeting and the difference sources of cooking was great as I am veggie so we could do a bbq half inside and out! A really brilliant stay if you want a quiet serene atmosphere with cosy towns just arms length. If you do stay here we would recommend to go to Buttermere the drive from the hut was amazing! We brought some string lights and hung them around the ‘camp’ which was a nice touch and would recommend as it gets quite dark. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back again, hopefully we will!

Perfect tucked away place. The place itself ended up being what I liked the most about Lake District. The spot is just what you need for a easy getaway weekend in Lake District. I hope I can come back soon!

We had a lovely stay – the little details such as the coffee and jam really made it feel special. It felt like a secluded spot even though you are close to all the sights and amenities. I would recommend the larch retreat

We had a great time at Gill Beck and would certainly return in the future. Everything we could imagine we might need was there and the best welcome pack ever, we really can’t think of any suggestions we could make to improve a guest experience. We hope we got the recycling right, we have lived in five counties and each one has been different so we went with what we do here.

Beautiful, amazing, stunning.

We have being using Rowley Estates for several years now & this is the third different property we have tried owned by Christine at Rowley Estates & it did not disappoint as normal 🙂 We stayed for a week & it was so relaxing the local pub & bakery were amazing highly recommended made several visits & they are both dog friendly & easy walking distance ! The dogs loved the garden it was massive they spent ours chasing each other around it 🙂
The three on suite rooms were lovely we stayed up stairs & the view was amazing fields all around you full of sheep. Lots of lovely dog walks without getting in a car.
The welcome hamper is also great everything in it was lovely.
