September 2020
The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped.. The views from the hot tub were amazing and we were so lucky with the weather. The cottage was finished to a very high standard and was so spacious. We will definitely return and would recommend Bigland Hall Cottages to anyone looking for a Lake District holiday!! We had a brilliant weekend and it was just what we needed!!

Excellent accommodation, very well kept with plenty of space inside and with a lot of character.. The setting was nice and quiet with just a few properties in the area, the loudest things around were the cows munching grass in the field next door. The views were great and you have easy access to the lakes from this area. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly and attended to any concerns immediately. These properties will definitely be on our list next time we're looking to go to the Lake District.

The cottage was fantastic exactly as described and better than we expected! Really friendly owners happy to answer any questions and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Hot tub was great and we used the barbecue a couple of times. By far the best accommodation we've stayed in yet, a great holiday base to explore the Lakes and superb place to relax.

A beautiful location and Rowan Cottage very comfortable and we’ll equipped, the onsite staff were extremely helpful and friendly.. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We had a lovely week at Rowan Cottage.. The cottage was beautiful, well-appointed and in a lovely, peaceful setting. The welcome basket was a lovely addition. A couple of days we stayed were very warm which meant the nights were quite hot, especially in one of the downstairs bedrooms where there were no opening windows - fortunately we had brought a fan with us but we would recommend this to anyone staying during the warmer months of the year.

A lovely, relaxing, comfortable and well-resourced cottage with great views and a superb hot tub..

The weather was difficult as you expect at times in the lake district.. To come back to such a beautiful comfortable house with everything we needed to be totally happy playing games cooking food and drinking in comfort was just what we needed. Thanks for the little extras that made us feel so welcome. My wife had died on march the 5th and we were not sure whether to carry on with the family holiday. I spoke to the people running the holiday home and felt nothing but support from them. The flowers were wonderful and lasted throughout the holiday. The card they left for me expressing best wishes under the circumstances was very well received and we had a wonderful holiday with my wife's name Pauline being constantly on our tongues and in our minds. It was as if she was with us as she had always been on so many occasions in the past. So a special thanks to Lynsey and Karen. I hope we will be back in the future. Kevan Murphy

Rowan Cottage was excellent everything you could want, even had a welcome basket I wasn’t expecting with essential like bread, jam, butter and milk in the fridge and a bottle very much appreciated.. We went on a lovely walk with great views and made use of the hot tub in the evening.

The owners had spared no trouble in making our Christmas very special.. Gifts under the tree for everyone and a hamper of goodies to start our celebration in style. We loved the cottage, and were made to feel genuinely welcome.

Loved everything about this place.. The property is stunning with amazing views! Hot tub was fab as were all the facilities. The heating was abit too warm for me and was tricky to adjust but not worth complaining about. All 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ,

An excellent place to stay.. Very high standard of finish. Extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend and will be returning in future.

If you are not totally impressed with this cottage, then there is something wrong with you! From the outside it looks lovely, but inside is even better. The size of every room is impressive. The quality and feel of the cottage is staggering good. They not only re-built the cottage to a very high meticulous standard, but also maintain it and all the contents to the say degree. We have stayed in many different places over our lifetime, from beach huts to lighthouses. This cottage is the best we have stayed in. The country setting is lovely. The service first class. What more do you want?

Mrs Bowden
February 2018
The cottage was renovated and decorated to the highest standard.. Every room was better than the next. The bedrooms were all so nice we couldn't tell which one was supposed to be the master! The living area was comfortable and the log burner a lovely idea, we used it each night. The views from the hot tub were unbelievable. Can't wait to come back
Mrs Gregory
February 2018
Would have benefitted from more detailed directions once we arrived at Backbarrow.. No indication that some food and washing up things provided. Would have saved on amount of packing. Nice to have it though. Wardrobe in first upstairs bedroom was very stiff to close. Only one side of mirror light working in two of the bathrooms.
Mr Patel

Its very beautiful and having the owners/staff literally next door meant we could any issues dealt with quickly and without problem..

Rowan Cottage exceeded all our expectations.. It was warm, clean and absolutely everything was provided for us, including a Christmas tree! The location was outstanding and we were able to explore the wonderful area despite the awful weather. Coming back to a log burner only added to our enjoyment! Thank you to Lyndsey for being on hand to answer all our questions and generally being a great point of contact.

We stayed here as a family in July. The cottage (hardly a cottage!) was amazing, very clean, very spacious and had everything you could possibly want. Very peaceful and quiet but yet close to loads of places to visit and see. Would definitely recommend and one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in so far.

I could not fault the cottage! However I thought checking in a 4pm was very late. We were only there for a weekend!!! No one returned our calls, when we contacted the owners!!

As a group of 6 we stayed in Rowan Cottage. It's an upside down house with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor (1 can be a twin) with one opening out onto a well furnished patio which has steps up to the hot tub and onwards to upper patio which has a dining table and chairs aswell as sofa and chairs. 2 bedrooms upstairs (again 1 can be a twin), open plan living room/dining/kitchen. All bedrooms ensuite and also an extra toilet. Nothing has been overlooked with the refurbishment of these houses, there's a utility room and everything you could want or need is supplied. Amazing standard. Loved the wine fridge and the touch of flip flops for the hot tub and blankets to keep you cosy if sitting out. We wouldn't hesitate to come back here again.
