We very much enjoyed our stay at the Rowan Retreat. The accommodation was spotless and we‘ve never stayed at a place that was so thoughtfully stocked. The breakfast items were local and high-quality. Christine was very friendly and provided helpful and detailed information prior to our arrival. I‘d definitely recommend staying here.

We had a lovely stay in the hut! It had everything we needed and the breakfast and firepit were appreciated

Can highly recommend Rowley Estates to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful setting. Our family (3 + dog) stayed in Elk Cottage and were thoroughly impressed. Extremely clean, well presented, cosy but with plenty of space. Bedrooms were spacious, fantastic fire and all the little touches were there. Close proximity to the northern Lakes and lovely pubs close by. Overall 10/10 and will definitely be back.

A grand house beautifully equipped full of character. On the east side of the M6 so the Lakes are a bit of a drive however locally there are wonderful walks. The local pub is recommended as is the bakery with its cafe.

Fantastic weekend away at Todd’s Farm to celebrate an 80th Birthday. Great views, very well appointed accommodation, lovely peaceful location – about a 10mins short walk to the local village. Without hesitation would recommend staying here – very easy process to book, communication with the host was very easy and straight forward. Everything that we hoped for, and more.

What a fantastic place. The location is great, the property is amazing, and as a group we could not have asked for more. Every detail has been considered, from the complimentary toiletries, to the partners they work with (clay pigeon shooting). Cannot fault it and wish we could return sooner!

Peace and quiet nature at my door step. The shepherds hut was warm clean and comfortable. Would recommend strongly to anyone who wants a peaceful break. Directions to the hut were very clear also. To be able to sit outside at night next to the fire pit just looking at the stars was a treat on its own. With owl’s calling through the night I felt connected to nature which hasn’t happened for a long time. The hut itself has everything I could need the bed was very comfortable and the shower was good and strong. I would definitely go back and soon I hope.

Well equipped shepherd’s hut. Particularly enjoyed the woodland glade with fire pit and stream. There is a BBQ also and excellent communication from the Estate. Very peaceful and out of sight and sound of the other huts so perfect for a secluded stay. Many thanks.

We loved the space and the view out to the sunrise and opening the window and doors evoked such a sense of being outside while doing anything inside. The gifts on arrival were lovely and generous and the area is so beautiful to explore.

Such a lovely Shepard’s hut in a really beautiful and private setting. Loved the locally sourced products and breakfast. Really convenient location for exploring, and lovely views from the hut itself. Highly recommend! Would love to go back.
