What a place!! We have just spent a memorable few days here celebrating my 60th birthday with friends and it has been truly amazing. The hall is warm, comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The welcome hamper was large and full of quality local products. There are some stunning bedrooms and many have four posters, large baths and showers en-suite. Rural views from every window – a huge social lounge with 2 fireplaces and squishy sofas you don’t want to leave! Two other smaller snugs and of course the full size snooker table that proved a very enjoyable activity. We had a formal celebration dinner in the dining room with delicious food provided by Lynn Hilditch who we highly recommend as a caterer. Christine and her team were very attentive throughout. We just need another reason to return to this unique venue.

We loved staying in this luxiurious shepherd’s hut, which was kitted out with everything we needed and had such a comfortable bed. We loved the total privacy of Elm Retreat, set back from the road with only pheasants as our immediate neighbours. We had a couple of days of sunshine during our stay so seized the opportunity to use the Weber barbeque and firepit down by the river. Although it rained towards the end of our stay we didn’t mind hunkering down with our books in this cosy shepherd’s hut.

We had an amazing stay. Christine was so lovely and helpful with giving us information on what to do in the area. She also left a wonderful welcome hamper. It was the perfect place to celebrate my mums birthday. Thank you!!!

Fantastic house for a family or group. Comfortable and well equipped.

Would just like to say that we loved ‘Jenny’s Croft’. It is a fabulous place to say and so many things to do and see locally.
We will definitely come again. I think we have now stayed at all of your barns both here in Glassonby and Blencowe! Love every single one of them and the standard of cleanliness and comfort is second to none. Thank you very much.

I will also be going on the purelakes site to buy some products. They too were fantastic.

Beautiful setting, fantastic accommodation. A lovely welcome basket on arrival. Fully deserves 5 stars.

A wonderful few days at Gill Beck! 3 couples, 3 dogs, clean, warm, well appointed, an excellent place for a short break.

If you like your mediaeval castle to also be warm and welcoming, with hot powerful showers, as well as stunning period features and award-winning architectural enhancements, then this is the place for you! We hosted our 65th birthday celebrations for friends and family, for ages 6 weeks to 66 years old, and it created superb, unforgettable memories for everyone. We’ve been home for just one day, and are already exploring opportunities for our next adventure!

Fabulous accommodation; wonderfully atmospheric environment and superb pre, during, & aftercare from the excellent Rowley family.

No words to describe absolutely wonderful and great experience 😍😍
