The property

Scenic & Stylish Escape Set in the Lake District National Park, Rowan Hill combines breathtaking countryside views with stylish, light-filled interiors.

Perfect for families or friends, it’s a peaceful retreat within walking distance of a welcoming pub and a short drive from world-class attractions. Rowan Hill is a beautifully presented holiday home set within the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the charming village of Crook. With private driveway parking for five cars, it’s an ideal choice for families or groups seeking a peaceful countryside escape. Lovingly refurbished in 2025 by local designer Linda Joseph, Rowan Hill showcases abundant natural light and stunning views over the Vale of Eden – on a clear day you can even spot the top of Blackpool Tower, 50 miles away.

Every bedroom, along with the living room, kitchen and games room, enjoys the same spectacular outlook. Inside, natural materials and textures create a warm, inviting atmosphere, with engineered oak flooring on the ground floor, Herdwick wool carpets upstairs, and locally sourced Lake District slate in the entrance and hearth.

Many furnishings are bespoke to the property. The spacious NEFF-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare anything from a quick breakfast to a hearty dinner.

Gather in the open-plan living and dining area with its Smart TV and open fire, or head to the games room for table football, board games and another Smart TV.

Positioned at opposite ends of the house, the games room and sitting room ensure noise won’t travel. Sleeping up to seven guests, Rowan Hill offers two king-size bedrooms, one flexible super-king/twin, and a single room ideal for a child or extra guest.

Each main bedroom features a vanity table that doubles as a quiet workspace. There are three stylish bathrooms – one with a walk-in shower, one with a freestanding bath, and an en-suite with walk-in shower – all with heated towel rails, basins, WCs and de-mister mirrors.

A utility room with washing machine and dryer adds extra convenience. Rowan Hill’s outdoor spaces offer a tranquil escape, with large oaks and sycamores in a meadow leading to tiered lawns and traditional stonework.

In late spring, wild bluebells bloom beneath the trees, adding a splash of colour to this peaceful countryside setting. The location offers endless opportunities for walking and exploring, with nearby highlights including National Trust Sizergh Castle, Fell Foot for wild swimming, and the renowned gardens of Levens Hall.

The Dales Way passes close by, with a 4.5-mile walk into Bowness-on-Windermere. A 7-minute stroll brings you to The Sun Inn for hearty pub meals, while Michelin-starred dining at The Gilpin, or gastropub dining at Wild Boar Estate are just a short drive away.

Local farm shops and artisan producers at Plumgarths round off the area’s superb foodie offerings. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, outdoor adventure, or a memorable get-together for family or friends, Rowan Hill is the perfect base to enjoy the beauty of the Lake District National Park.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

The pretty hamlet of Crook is situated in beautiful Lakeland countryside and offers excellent access to the heart of the Lake District National Park. There is a pub in Crook itself and a wide variety of super walks on the surrounding fells. Less than six miles from Lake Windermere - England's longest lake - and a similar distance from all the amenities of Kendal, Cumbria's historic market town. The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops, and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated).

Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a short car ride away, to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake.
