We had a great few days in the lakes with all the main visitor places within easy driving distance from the hut. The directions to where the hut was located were very easy to follow and the parking area is a couple of minutes walk, with the use of a cart to help you take all your items to the hut. The hut is right next to the river and the stream can be seen flowing past. Christine and the team have thought of everything that you might need whilst you stay and the locally provided breakfast items were a nice touch, but if you have forgotten something or need some help then they were quick to reply with all requests. The hut is completely off the main grid and also there is very little phone signal, which makes it a very relaxing stay as you’re not being distracted by your phone. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it to anyone that wants to get away for a few days and spend some time relaxing.

High recommend! Such a peaceful and quaint location and the perfect getaway to shut off and really relax. Christine was also really on hand to help with any queries we had. We had the most gorgeous stay and will definitely look to come back in future. Thank you!

We had a family gathering for my husbands 70th, there were 25 adults and 10 children we used Blencowe Hall and Cazenovia Hall looking at pictures online does not give it justice, It was AMAZING.
Everything was clean from the bedroom to the kitchen which was very well stocked with everything you needed.

We were able to have a family dinner on the Saturday and had the use of the Byre.

we expected it to be cold so took warm clothes but they were not needed it was so cosy everywhere.

Christine (Host) was very helpful and answered all our question.

Thank you for making our weekend so special

Riverain Coach House.

Once again a small group of friends stayed at one of the Rowley Estates properties.

All I can say is amazing.

Christine and her team take great care in making your stay very welcoming from the most fabulous hamper to letting you known what is going on in the area while you are there.

It was lovely to return to Riverain as it was the first one of the Rowley properties we stayed at about 10 years ago.

Like all of the properties, Riverain is still a first class cottage.

This is the second time I have stayed in a holiday let from “Rowley Estates” and both have been clean and well equipped to a very high standard.
Glassonby Hall is spacious and full of character. It was a wonderful place to celebrate an anniversary with my wider family. The time was over too quick but we all made some special memories.

Excellent place to stay. Beautiful surroundings. The cabin is lovely and Christine has done an excellent job with the space available. This is a small space so compromises have to be made, however it is very cosy. The bed is a fold down bed which takes the space where the dining table is. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. Amazing little touches when we arrived including some delicious local produce. Fantastic communication from Christine all the way through the process, very responsive and gave very clear information. We had 66mph winds whilst we were there and can say that the cabin is sturdy! Very close to some good mountains if you’re into the outdoors. We scrambled up Blencathra which was a 15 minute drive away. Penrith is closeby with some nice restaurants and bars.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverain! Amazing place with beautiful surroundings. Host very helpful and welcoming too. Would definitely recommend!

I will start off by saying Christine’s communication and level of detail is the best I’ve experienced in a holiday rental. From sending us information about what’s on in the area, to remembering I am bringing my grandpa to the area (he hadn’t been back for 40+ years) and writing it in a welcome card mentioning this. As well as putting a commode in the accommodation for him to use (we didn’t even ask!). It’s truly outstanding and made our stay smooth and stress free. My grandpa loved reading the books on the area and looking at the maps. The log fire was already set up for us to use. The hamper was just gorgeous. Sustainable and natural products in the bathrooms. These little details made us feel right at home. The kitchen has everything needed, utensils and products. Everything had been thought about. I had a problem with flies in the top room but there was even fly killer spray so it was fine! What a special few days with making memories my grandpa is so grateful for. Thank you

Perfect house for a large group of friends . Great kitchen which was very well equipped and very comfy beds. The house was beautifully warm . Would really recommend
