Basic feedback is that Hause Hall is an excellent place for a family gathering. The fabric and decor are all in excellent condition; the kitchen is very well equipped and instructions for using all equipment clear and ready to hand. Nice touches worth a special mention are the welcome hamper, which contained a good supply of high-quality food and wine; the dining room table laid up on arrival; and the wood fire which lit first time with no fuss!

But overall you do a really excellent job of making this a great place to stay.

Absolutely loved this place, perfect for our family weekend away! The communication from Christine was so helpful.

We enjoyed a short autumn break at Riverain Coach House and would highly recommend a stay at the Rowley Estate. The location is great, with beautiful views and the lovely village of Greystoke nearby (we also recommend the Boot and Shoe for friendly staff and great food). The house has been renovated to a high standard while maintaining stunning original features. The Rowleys provide excellent service to make sure you enjoy your stay, and there was a lovely hamper left for our arrival with locally sourced products. Although the house is well heated, the log burner in the large living room also makes for a lovely cosy evening. We hope to return in the future.

What a beautiful stay at Hawthorn Retreat on Rowley Estates! Firstly, Christine was so accommodating and patient throughout the process of booking, particularly with all my questions. We arrived when it was dark and got a little confused about where to go but after a quick call with Christine, we were fine. The hut itself was amazing – my other half and I were so pleased with it as it felt luxurious… we kept forgetting we were on a field! The sound of the river outside was so soothing and isn’t as loud as you think. It is warm, even during the recent cold spell we’ve had. The shower worked beautifully (which I believe is important when glamping) and the kitchen has everything we needed. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the homemade jam is so delicious I’ve had to try not to eat it all at once. The handbook was excellent as everything was explained. The fire pit was magical! We’ve made the best memories here and I really didn’t want to leave. We do love trying new places instead of going back to the same place but we both have said we 100% need to come back again! We visited Rookin House for a horse trek which was just a short drive. There’s plenty to do in the area. Honestly you’ll regret it if you don’t book here at least once! Thank you for creating a beautiful place for us to enjoy.

‘I had an absolutely wonderful stay in the Larch Retreat. This shepherd’s hut had all the necessary mod cons and was incredibly cosy indeed. I felt very well rested after a three-night stay and would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a peaceful place to escape to. I will definitely be returning again soon!’

Stayed at Blencowe Hall for my sister’s hen party. The building and grounds are stunning and everyone was wowed – it’s not every day you get to stay in a castle!
The little touches topped off our stay. A delicious and very generous hamper was left which was filled with local, great quality produce and the toiletries in the bathrooms made us feel like we were at a spa!
Christine has been amazing from beginning to end. From when we booked, last year, she has been on hand to answer my endless questions and always responds quickly and in a very friendly way!
All round amazing place and a fantastic stay.

We had a amazing time, the Hall was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We can’t praise the owners enough. The dishwasher broke and within a couple of hours a new one was installed, amazing service from lovely people
