Had a wonderful weekend getaway. Beautiful Shepards hut (with everything you could need and more) surrounded by great views and was extremely peaceful. There was plenty to do nearby and lot of ideas from the host too. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

An excellent holiday cottage; warm; comfortable and well equipped. An enclosed garden for our dogs with an outside ‘dog shower’ and an electric power point which we used to charge our bicycles. Electric car charging points were also available. The welcome hamper was the best that we have had in any holiday cottage. It is also well situated for the Northen Lake District and a particularly good centre for cycling.

After a lovely weekend getaway for our anniversary. We would like to both like to say a massive thank you to you and the rowley estate team for such a lovely stay at larch retreat. It was made extra special with the welcome hamper which was truly unexpected, it certainly started off our weekend well. The Shepards hut was wonderful, everything we’d hoped and more. The little ideas for days out were very helpful and gave us plenty of thing to do throughout the weekend and definitely somethings to come back for.

Gill Beck Farm is a truly magnificent break and you will find all you need is catered for – even an Aga! The property is warm and cosy, perfect after a Cumbrian walk. I will certainly return to Gill Beck Farm or another of the Rowley Estate properties when back in Cumbria.

Our third stay at a Rowley Estate’s cottage and never been disappointed. Everything at Jenny’s Croft has been thoughtfully presented from the well equipped kitchen, comfort and entertainment in the sitting room, lovely toiletries in the bathrooms and even a dog shower outside to rinse off muddy paws. There is also a more than generous welcome hamper. North Lakes and the Eden Valley are our favourite places for a family get together and we can’t imagine staying anywhere other than a Rowley Estate’s property.

Amazing stay at Melberby Hall celebrating my dads 70th Birthday. We had 5 families across varying ages and a few dogs. The place was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Stunning house, wonderful location and fabulous hosts. Thank you and hope to be back again one day!

Myself and my wife have been staying in dog friendly cottages since we had our first dog 11 years ago.
We have stayed in quite a few cottages, but have only managed to be really pleased with about 4.

I can safely say that Jenny’s Croft has probably been the closest to being perfect as we have stayed in.

Had a great time , great location nice and private and a great base to explore the Lake District, the shepherds hut was delightful and the welcome pack was excellent.

Stag Cottage very well appointed and lots of space. Lovely hamper with excellent quality items.

Good pub nearby with food and cafe even closer. Good walks direct from the cottage with helpful directions provided. Lots of very helpful information on the local amenities and places to visit.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Everything about the property was superb. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped. The whole family loved sitting in the conservatory with outstanding views. The bathrooms were plentiful with plenty of hot water and powerful showers. The location was perfect – tucked away from the main tourist areas but with some lovely walks from the doorstep. We were also very lucky with the weather which was a great bonus. What a great place to stay!
