Our family spent Christmas at the lovely Kirkbride Hall and we all had an absolutely brilliant time. Christine had decorated the house with a tree, wreathe and lots of little details to make it really special for our arrival. There was a generous hamper waiting for us in the kitchen which was much appreciated after a long journey. Everything in the house was of the highest quality, the house was very well stocked and we thoroughly enjoyed playing pool and sitting by the roaring fire.
The gardens/grounds of the property were great and we were able to let all of the dogs off in the garden without any concerns of them escaping.
All in all we had a fabulous time and definitely look forward to returning again in the near future.
5 stars!

Had a short but fabulous stay at Kirkbride Hall. It was the perfect setting for a family gathering. The house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. we loved the nice touches like a delicious welcome hamper, the very nice toiletries and the dog towel and bowls. We spent a lot of time playing pool on the converted dining table. The house was very warm and it was nice to have a real fire on too. Christine was excellent with her communication and sent some excellent links for local information. It was hard to find fault with any aspect of the house or contents. There are some excellent walks straight from the house and handily placed for a trip into the Northern Lakes. We hope we will be able to return some time in the future.

The larch retreat was everything we could wish for. It was tranquil, cosy and well equipped. Christine was very helpful over email which made organising the stay very easy. The location is perfect for long walks and then you can return to the warmth of the log burner. Would definitely return again!

Beautiful location, fantastic hut! Christine was also extremely helpful and efficient. She was always there to answer any questions. We had a lovely time and will definitely be telling all our friends!

Absolutely fabulous. The perfect place to explore both the Pennines and the Lake District, but – be warned – the local countryside is so delightful we ended up just walking locally quite a bit.
The accommodation is perfect. Comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated.
The kitchen was well equipped. We love to self cater and lacked nothing (except a BBQ, which we do love to use in the winter, even, but figure they’d removed for the winter months, and was obviously there in the summer given the other equipment present).
The beds were comfy and the cottage was very cosy. No chance of getting cold.
The Rowley estates folks were attentive to our needs but not at all intrusive.
Oh – and what a hamper!!
All in all I hope we can return soon!

Had a lovely short stay at Elk Cottage. Beautiful location and extremely well apointed cottage with everything you could need for your holiday. The welcome pack was generous with lots of local treats!

Our stay at Gill Beck was lovely. The house was very comfortable for our family of four — and we appreciated the amenities for our furry friends. The house handbook had several thoughtful recommendations to guide our stay. We took memorable hikes and really enjoyed snuggling up by the wood burning stove in the afternoons. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Incredible. I hosted 25 women for a yoga and wellbeing retreat. The estate was gorgeous, and immaculate. Everything I could have wanted and more. Every single person was in awe and we have made memories for life. We will be back!
