Reviews

An amazing property overlooking the eastern Lake District – a fantastic stay, everything required for a large family weekend away – the enclosed outside space is excellent for children and dogs… Christine was an exceptional host, catering to our needs (great welcome pack), allowing us a late check-out. Thank you, Rowley Estates!

We had the loveliest stay at Oak Retreat! Christine is a wonderful host who was always happy to help with any questions. The hut itself is so cosy and refreshing, every detail has been thought about and it really shows. The welcome hamper was filled with fresh jam, coffee, muesli and bread which was lovely and the fridge had some bits too! Not to mention, the shower products supplied made my hair so soft 🙂 . The field opposite the hut is a cow field, but they are so quiet that it is perfect and so sweet to look out at the cows every morning with a cuppa. The bed was also so comfy and we would never have left it if it wasn’t for the beautiful walks in the area. I would 100% recommend!

Perfect place for our family to get together. The pics and description do not do it justice, Christine’s place is exceptional. It’s all the thoughtful extras that make it stand out. The gorgeous welcome pack with local delights, games , books and even a dog towel for our muddy Border terrier. We had the best time.

We had a great time at Larch Retreat. Easy to locate using the postcode provided. Great location, peaceful and private. Within fairly close proximity to Penrith for amenities. There are great locations nearby for a day out. Larch Retreat was clean and organised. We had everything that we needed during our stay.

This is our 3rd year at Elk Cottage. We absolutely love coming and love the surrounding areas. The Lake District is just so beautiful. Christine and her team are lovely as well and so helpful. We can’t wait to come back.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Larch Retreat. A beautifully decorated, comfortable and spacious Shepard’s hut overlooking fields and mountains…we were lucky enough to be able to see snow on peaks! Generous hamper of delicious local goodies was a very welcome sight when we arrived. There was an abundance of fire wood and we used both the log burner and fire pit. A BBQ is also provided. Quick Wi-Fi, well equipped kitchen, hot shower and lots of nice touches like board games and maps. We stayed for 4 nights and would have happily stayed longer. Perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle and well situated to explore the lakes. Would highly recommended.

What an amazing place and a great host. Definitely recommend! Ideal base for the Lake District.

Had a really lovely stay at Christine’s. Breakfast was provided and the place was exactly as it seems in the pictures. The location and instructions provided were very accurate and clear.

Hi Christine,

I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Cazenovia Hall.

Every one of our party commented on the level of comfort, detail and warm feel of the house.

We would like to come back again!

We stayed at Hawthorn Retreat for 4 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. Christine is a great host, always responsive, provided clear instructions about check in and about things to do around the property. Place itself is a catch. Surrounded in the woods, at the bank of the river and huge estate. We would definitely stay here again.
