Situated in a very quiet rural location in the beautiful Eden Valley.The cottage is superbly appointed, all furniture and fittings are of a high standard and great care has been taken to provide maximum comfort and convenience for guests. A delightful place to stay for a quiet relaxing holiday.
Pleasant property, well kept and well equipped.
The cottage is excellent. Everything you need and we would thoroughly recommend it. It is very rural and a local shop would have good but we had a good week.
Brilliant little place, and very well equipped.
A very comfortable, warm and well equipped cottage in a great location for exploring the Eden Valley, Carlisle and Hadrian’s Wall, the eastern The Lake District and The Pennines. The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean. There is good walking in the area including the Long Meg stone circle and the River Eden. Penrith is just 20 minutes away and there are good pubs for food in Kirkoswald and Wangthathby just 5 minutes from the cottage. Highly recommended.
We recently stayed in Elk Cottage and enjoyed the comforts it provided including the unusual hamper contents and attention to detail.Our one negative is that the whole communication system relies on Wi-fi including the telephone.All of which ‘went down’ just when we needed it most during a health emergency.We feel that the cottage should be linked by landline to avoid this happening to others.We would have awarded it with 5 stars otherwise.
Fantastic house with very helpful owners and really enjoyed our visit. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful location. Ideal for local walks and The Lake District. Elk Cottage has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway from it all holiday. Incredible attention to detail, immaculately clean. This was the most perfect cottage for my family of 4 and our lively pooch. Great local pubs and bakery nearby. Wholly recommend and would love to return. Thank you to all at The Rowley Estate for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful property.
Cleanliness, comfortable beds, excellent presentation, attention to detail and cleanliness.
Excellent for comfort, cleanliness and local advice and great location.
Lovely cottage that was comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, cozy lounge and two good sized bedrooms both with ensuite. Parking off the road for 2 cars. Good location with a decent pub 2 miles away and the northern lakes within easy reach.
Beautiful, well equipped cottage, in an absolutely stunning and peaceful location. Spotlessly clean, wonderful food hamper and plenty of wood for log burner.
General presentation and welcome hamper.
All perfect Location and all contents of the cottage were lovely. It was immaculately clean, bedding towels of lovely quality which is important to us. The hamper was great and very handy having essesntials as no shops close by
Lovely cottage in a fabulous location. We arrived to a very clean cottage, a well stocked hamper and beautiful weather. The cottage had everything we needed for a short break and we enjoyed some local walks. The owners provide a lot of information including some pre-printed maps of local walks which were very useful. The whole process from booking through to leaving at the end of our break was straightforward.
Peace, comfort, facilities, attention to detail, helpful attentive team.
Lovely comfortable and quaint cottage. Well appointed So tranquil. Perfect for catching up with our friends and exploring the countryside
This is a lovely rural property. Very comfortable and cozy. There was a problem with the WiFi for a couple of days, we needed the WiFi to enable us stay in touch with home as there was no phone network service. It was resolved but hence the 4 stars.
Great, well equipped cottage. Nice and peaceful. A few nice local walks and an easy hop into the Lakes for everything else.
Very comfortable with plenty equipment. Both bathrooms very good, particulaly the walk in shower which we needed.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
