We booked Hause Hall for a family celebration weekend. It was perfect to bring us all together in such a lovely venue. The views, facilities and attention to detail are all fantastic. I would highly recommend staying

Second time staying at Gill Beck Barn, and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and a place where both we, and our dogs are welcome.

Having stayed in the first generation of the Rowley’s shepherds huts we were curious to see how these new ones compared, and we were happy to find that they met expectations (and depending on personal preference, may be better for some). Great to see the same attention to detail, glamping luxury and comfort with great facilities, setting and privacy. The new fold up beds did make them feel roomier, the mini wood burning stove a great atmospheric addition (and will now make us consider these as a winter option too) and being able to park right there was a plus. The only thing we missed from the originals was the sound of the beck right outside, but the views of livestock and distant fells was great. Would be happy to stay in any of them again!

A beautiful, private hut with everything we needed and more. Gorgeous bathroom products left for us to use along with a thoughtful welcome food package. We were left alone to enjoy our stay but knew we had Christine to hand if required. We will absolutely return and will be recommending to friends and family. Great base to explore the eastern fells. Thank you Christine we had a wonderful break.

Delightful shepherds hut – ‘Larch Retreat’ with log burner, cosy nights welcome hamper, artisan goodies, homemade jam by the Rowley which was delicious. Excellent views, log burner outside too. Fulyl functioning toilet & shower would recommend. Quiet wooded area good parking, had a look round the gardens and short trip to Penrith & Greystoke village, we were  celebrating 22yrs of marriage wanted a quiet getaway. Perfect.

Lovely cabin. Private and presentable. Easily located and all typical resources available plus more. Can’t wait to make a next visit!

Really relaxing beautiful location. And great hospitality and communication from Christine and the team.
Thanks for an awesome holiday.

Just got back from a great weekend at Melmerby Hall and Stag Cottage, this is the second time we have stayed at a Rowley Estates property and I can’t recommend them highly enough. We were originally due to go in October 2020 but had to rearrange due to the mess that is Covid, Rowley Estates were great to deal with and made rearranging a doddle. Stag Cottage is very well equipped and in a great setting. It has a direct indoor link to Blencowe Hall if you need more space. There is plenty of space in the grounds as well to stretch your legs and work off a few of the calories you’re bound to have indulged in. The village of Melmerby is a delight, the Shepherds Inn in the village is superb for any meals you want and the owner is very helpful in getting larger parties sorted, with a bit of pre organisation our party of 17 were fed and watered with very few issues, he even opened especially for us on the Friday afternoon. The staff there were friendly and sorted us out easily. The village bakery is great for those wanting a naughty snack and also does breakfasts, they fit 17 of us in before we left on the Monday morning and it was good stuff, no skinny bacon or a manky sausage in sight, all good. We got a delivery from Tesco and Sainsbury on the Friday of snacks and beer, it saved anyone having to travel to Penrith for supplies. Another great property from Rowley Estates…well done…PS…also check out Melmerby Hall and Blencowe Hall if you have a larger party, they are owned by the same people, truly stunning properties that we’ve been lucky enough to stay at as well
