Our party stayed at both Jenny’s Croft & Glassonby Hall during our recent trip to the lake district. I cannot speak highly enough of both properties which are both amazing. Jenny’s Croft was beautifully appointed and in its own grounds with plentiful parking. The decor is perfect offering comfort & style and is fully equipped with everything you need – home from home. The welcome basket was most generous & provided lots of quality local produce which was a lovely touch & very much appreciated. The communication with the owner’s was second to none which made the whole experience so easy, pleasant and reassuring, they had thought of everything. This lovely cottage wuth stunning views provides a perfect base for a lovely ‘get away from it all’ break. I can only hope to return one day soon.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cazenovia hall. The surroundings are sublime with uninterrupted beauty on the doorstep. The hall itself is stunning and we couldn’t have asked for more as every little detail was considered. Christine and the team are very professional and are there for any support you may need. Would definitely recommend staying here.

High quality house in a beautiful, remote location. Very accommodating and professional host.

Just returned from an anniversary and birthday celebration weekend at Melmerby Hall, and Stag Cottage.
A wonderful location for a big get together with friends and family.
All the bedrooms are en suite with very comfortable beds and lovely products in all the bathrooms.
The welcome hampers in both properties were fantastic and well received, they even had treats in for the dogs.
It was very relaxing with room for all of us to spread out, especially in the beautiful gardens where the children, and dogs, enjoyed running around and exploring.
The hi light of our weekend was a celebration dinner on Saturday night, Lynn Hilditch catered for us.The meal was superb, nothing was too much trouble for her and Lynn and her staff looked after us all very well.I would highly recommend Lynn for any special event.
I would certainly book with Rowley estates again and recommend them to my friends

Had a fantastic trip to Cazenovia hall . Property is very comfortable and very well equipped. Grounds are well kept and hall is in lovely area. I would highly recommend a stay here you won’t be disappointed.

Glassonby hall is a fabulous property, tastefully renovated and everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. From the well equipped kitchen, the plentiful welcome pack, cozy lounge, surprise snooker table, and super comfortable beds, it all combined for a perfect base. Add on the beautiful views, plentiful walks, and interesting places to visit nearby and we had the most relaxing family break.

A wonderful stay at Elm Retreat! A beautiful shepherd’s hut in a remote location. The welcome package made all the difference too. Thank you! I have no doubt we’ll be back again.

First time staying at Oak Retreat. Set in a beautiful, quiet location. Oak Retreat was absolutely fantastic, everything you needed was provided and the complimentary hamper was wonderful. Oak Retreat was spotlessly clean and we will definitely be returning. Thank you to Christine and the team at Rowley Estates

We stayed at Melmerby Hall at the end of April for a fun filled family birthday celebration. There were 16 of us aged from 63 to 1 staying in all 9 rooms plus 5 more family members in Stag Cottage. We are just local and had never stayed in one of the Rowley Estates properties though we had heard good reports and we weren’t disappointed. The property itself is superb as are the extensive grounds, the bedrooms are all very luxurious with lovely bathrooms. The rest of the house is huge with plenty of reception rooms to spread out but also plenty of space for everyone to sit in the same room or around the same dining table. As for the billiards room on the top floor that was the icing on the cake.
The kitchen is very well equipped – two dishwashers, two fridges and endless crockery, cutlery and glasses plus as much cooking equipment as you might ever need. The aga and central island make it a great sociable space and everything was so well thought out. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too.
As soon as we left all the family were desperate to go back for another get together, it really was fantastic in every way.

Stayed at Todd Hills Farmhouse & Vale Croft, for a 60th wedding anniversary. All 14 of us and 2 dogs could not fault a single thing. The property, was clean, beautiful & a lovely welcome basket on arrival. The location, was peaceful with walks in every direction from the property. The rooms are beautiful, and all with en-suites. Christine has responded to us quickly, leading up to the stay and throughout. We could not think of a better location to stay for a special occasion with family. Thankyou – and we look forward to coming back soon!
