A beautiful stay with a perfect social area to relax with friends and family. Christine is responsive and has thought of every little detail, thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

It was a family re-union. Sixteen of us came from the four corners of the earth – literally – and Blencowe Hall was there with open arms. Fabulous welcome pack and beautiful bedrooms, log fires, a gorgeous dining room and amazing kitchen – all ready for us thanks to Gail and her team.

And we were so lucky with the weather – nibbles and champagne before our black tie and posh frock dinner and star-watching later – on the terrace.

Dinner – superlative – with thanks to Lynn Hilditch and her team – faultless and scrummy.

Thank you to all of you who made us so welcome – Christine at Rowley Estates, and Gail and Lynn.

We stayed at Glassonby Hall and Jenny’s Croft to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was the perfect location! Both properties were kept beautifully – both the houses and gardens were lovely. The kitchens had everything we could think of (there is plenty of equipment in the hall for mass catering which was ideal). It also felt like really good value for money for what a beautiful place you get!
Christine was always quick to respond and super friendly. Overall definitely recommend especially for a special occasion.

The hosts have an amazing eye for detail. The property is beautifully decorated and furnished, and everything worked perfectly. Communications and instructions were top grade, and there was a lot if useful information about the local area. We appreciated the hamper. We would love to return.

Spent a weekend with some great friends prefect venue with amazing communication

A wonderful stay; remote and so peaceful. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay again!

Thank you so much Christine and Charles for a wonderful time! We will definitely be visiting again!

Directions and information provided made the retreat very easy to find. Although it was a wet October, the surroundings were very atmospheric with the constant sound of the river that was visible from the front door to the pheasant that wondered past one afternoon. A lovely breakfast selection was provided that was more than ample for my 3 night stay. There were all the utensils you would need to prepare meals which I took advantage of as I mostly stayed in the hut to be way from the world.
I had wanted a quiet, restful getaway and that was what I got: there was no wi-fi to distract me; there was village a nice walk away away for papers; and a cosy hut to read and potter in.
Christine was very helpful when I had a small issue and the booklet left in the hut provided all the information needed for the hut and the surrounding area.
I’d definitely recommend for a restful glamping experience.
