Mr Ritchie 
“Rowan at Grasmere was absolutely stunning!”
Perfect location in the heart of Grasmere with views of the surrounding fells. The owners have thought of everything and keep their beautiful home maintained to a very high standard, with lots of thoughtful touches, that were very much appreciated by us!

Mrs Cameron “Rowan st Grasmere was perfect ( wish it was my house!”
). Really tastefully decorated and organised with great thought as to what anyone staying may need. Amazing views over fields and fells with the advantage of being able to pop into Grasmere on foot ( over great little bridge, past the sheep) in few minutes if you needed anything or for pubs/cafes/restaurants. Added advantage of being able to hike directly from village ( Easedale Tarn, Heron Tarn, Lion &Lamb). Hope it doesn't get booked up too quickly as am just about to start looking ar dates for next time! Thank you for a lovely stay in the beautiful Lake District.
- Mrs Cameron,May party “We've had a super family week together in a beautiful house with all mod cons.”
So well equipped & furnished. Your detail to furnishings & supplying us with everything we needed - superb. Fantastic views, boys have loved the wild swimming in the river! Even the rain didn't spoil our stay. The garden inspired me to tackle mine! Walking with Alpacas on the Lingholme Estate nr Keswick is a must for everyone to do. Thank you, a house to visit again!
