I absolutely loved my stay at the Oak Retreat. The space is clean, quiet, comfortable, and you feel like you’re on your own, yet know there are people nearby if you need anything. The wood burning stove was lovely, and plenty of wood was supplied. The kitchen was well stocked, plus delicious breakfast foods were supplied (including coffee!!! 😋). The bed and pillows were comfortable, the shower worked great, WiFi was great…. View was beautiful… No complaints.

The Perfect Retreat. This is about the sixth time I’ve booked Glassonby Hall (and first time booking Jenny’s Croft) and it’s a place I’ll come back to again and again. It is simply perfect. It’s both spacious and cosy and comfortable. My guests ALWAYS say how relaxed and at home they feel here. The most recent experience was hosting a retreat for fellow celebrants and it was simply fabulous. Snow outside, cosy fire inside. The farmhouse kitchen is fantastic for gathering around the table while soup simmers on the Aga.

People never fail to be dazzled by the well.

We ordered a hot tub and it was conveniently located right near the front door.

The hamper and fridge items always go down a treat, too. The lovely welcome card is so appreciated. Thank you.

Without fail, Glassonby Hall is clean, tidy and so inviting.

Stayed at Glassonby Hall for a Celebrants’ retreat – it was the perfect location. Spacious, supremely comfortable and very well equipped. Hope to visit again – perhaps for another retreat or even a celebration with friends?

I recently booked this for some people on our celebrant retreat at Glassonby Hall. It’s a beautiful, spacious and lovely cottage and I’d gladly book it again. Jenny’s Croft has the same care and attention to detail as all the other Rowley Estates I’ve had the pleasure of being in (personally or professionally). My guests loved being in this space.

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

Lovely place to stay, would love to return

We had a very enjoyable stay at Larch retreat. The cabin was very comfortable and was warm and dry even though we had rainy weather. We also really appreciated the breakfast supplies and the little wood burning stove.

absolutely beautiful! great spot and only 10 minutes from Penrith centre ! definitely be returning when it’s warmer 🥰

Beautifully restored hall. Under floor heating is a definite bonus. Generous basket of goodies and lots of space to mingle.

Stunning houses with a perfect bedroom layout for our stay (7 couples + 1 dog). Christine’s communication was excellent and we had a lovely stay.
