We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the minor issue with a coffee maker was quickly and effectively remedied. The presence of the indoor games - pool table and table football - as well as outdoor games greatly added to our stay. Ulverston is a road less travelled in terms of the Lake District. We loved that it was less crowded, and yet we were in easy striking distance of many of the Lakeland attractions. We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation whatever the weather, and Rowley House is a real gem. Thank you to all who contributed to our stay being such a success.

We thoroughly appreciated the back story to the mansion and the great care taken in all the planning, design and maintenance of both the outside and inside including the beautiful main hall area. A great location for travel around the peninsula and into the western, central and northern lake districts; peaceful; and nearby shops within 10mins walking distance added to make our fortnight stay easy and relaxing. Thank you for the outdoor games too and getting more badminton nets. The means to chill outdoors as if in one's back garden really enhanced the whole experience. We thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay and wonder what all the other apartments are like!
