We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Retreat, will be booking again as soon as we can. I couldn’t recommend enough!

We absolutely loved staying at Oak Retreat, the location was perfect and the surroundings were incredibly peaceful and picturesque. The hut itself was cosy and clean, equipped with everything we needed and the welcome package on check-in was the cherry on top. This was the perfect start to our new year and will definitely be booking again – would recommend to anyone! Thank you Christine

We had a very pleasant five night stay at Kirkbride Hall over the festive period. The property has everything you would need for an enjoyable stay and had been tastefully decorated for Christmas with a tree and garlands. The house was very clean upon arrival and the kitchen and bathrooms had all of the amenities that were required and were to a very high standard. The welcome hamper was a great starter and the contents were almost all locally sourced. We had a small issue with the heating in one of the bedrooms/bathrooms when we arrived, but this was quickly resolved by Christine, who at all times was very responsive to any request that may have had.

Everything about Jenny’s Croft is first class. The kitchen is extremely well equipped (I can’t think there was anything missing), the wood burner was laid ready for our arrival and the welcome hamper was full of fabulous locally-sourced food and drinks. Communication with Christine was always helpful and very responsive. We will be back!

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Oak Retreat in Little Blencowe over New Year. The location was perfect for lovely hikes, and the cottage itself was cozy and welcoming. Christine, the host, went above and beyond by providing a thoughtful welcome kit with essentials like milk, fresh bread, eggs, cereal, fudge, Lurpak, cooking oil, tea, and coffee—it was such a nice touch! The space is compact, so you need to be efficient with storage, but that added to the charm of the stay. We were also well-stocked with logs for the fire, which made the evenings extra cozy. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely love to come back! Highly recommend Oak Retreat for a peaceful getaway.

Lovely place to stay, beautiful scenery, easily accessible to the lakes, would highly recommend. One slight issue to flag for future visitors – Power is run on solar batteries, which is fine (particularly in sunnier months), but suggest taking torch, battery packs etc in winter in case it drops out for a little bit (hosts will happily replace the batteries when it does 🙂

Todd Hill Farm was amazing, what a beautiful location and fantastic property. We had a party of 10 and could not have wished for any more. On arriving the house was spotless and fully equipped. There was a wonderful hamper on arrival for us with so many treats and necessities. There were some great places to eat nearby and some lovely walks as outlined in the wonderful guide folder in the house. Christine was a fantastic host who responded very quickly to any questions and was very proactive in her messages. I would not hesitate in staying here again or any of her other properties

Absolutely lovely experience in the Rowan shepherds hut, so peaceful, a perfect escape

Will definitely come back! What a charming spot! Thankyou Christine for a wonderful stay!

We have just returned from our second stay at Jenny’s Croft. The property is in an idyllic, relaxing location, a short car ride to amenities and pubs and cafes.

The property itself is of the highest quality, fully equipped and has absolutely everything you could need. They have thought of everything, even down to dog treats and bowls for our dog!

The welcome hamper is a real treat and a demonstration of how the Rowley Estates team go above and beyond.

I have also been very impressed with the communication you receive pre/post your trip. The team are on hand at all times to help with any queries.

Jenny’s Croft really is a special place and ideal if you are looking for a quality, relaxing, peaceful break. We are already planning our next visit.
