Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Great holiday lodge with good views and in a good location"
Reviewed by James4.7★Feb 2025
"Stayed in Rowan as a birthday trip for my boyfriend and my first time in the Lake District."
The farm and scenery are gorgeous, and the owners are really friendly! The cabins are in a really good location, with plenty to do locally and not too far from places such as Windermere and Barrow-in-Furness. Had a lovely time and would definitely like to visit again!
The cabin itself was really cosy, fully furnished with a tv, couch, towels, dishes etc, really handy!

"It was an incredible weekend stay, by far the best hut me and my parter have stayed in."
The hut was spotless with a nice message written in the rug on arrival. With beautiful views right outside the door which we was able to enjoy whilst enjoying the hottub, made even better with the pups Meg and Polly checking in, Carol was a absolute delight always on hand if we needed anything or wanted to find places to walk to. Make sure you take Carrots for Charlie and Mindy

"From the moment we arrived we loved it at Rowan."
Carol came over to see us to introduce herself, Meg and the adorable Polly. Plenty advice on walks and things to see. The pod itself was clean, well stocked with all you need. The hot tub was great at the end of the day or if you felt like just chilling. Meg came to see us every day, mostly with her ball!! To top it off Charlie and Mindy, the farm donkeys visited for their carrots, but be aware, they will sulk if you forget

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn't of asked for more friendly if we tried, we get to know the owners and got to get up close and personal with the animals who the owners took time out of their daily chores to explain facts to us about the animals and we loved seeing "Meg" and "Polly" the new arrival to the farm."
"Charlie & Mindy" the donkeys became our new best friends also. The lodge was spotless and perfect for what we wanted/needed. The hot tub was checked daily and was perfect for us to relax in as soon as we arrived, the veiws and outstanding location was all around just perfection. Rowan was by far the best lodge with perfect views right from the doors. We will be coming back in the future. Thanks Pixie and T-J

"The pods are very high quality, with so many nice touches."
The location is perfect, direct access to beautiful countryside and scenery with lots to offer in Ulverston. A great base to explore the Lake District.
The hot tub was great, a real highlight.
Cooking facilities, bathroom/shower and bedding were all top quality and made the stay a home from home.
Staying on a working farm was a bonus and the owners are lovely and very friendly, the farm has lambs, calves, chickens (and fresh eggs!) and we made friends with the dogs too.
A great stay and we can’t wait to return.

"Stayed in Rowan for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
Property was clean and spacious with all the facilities needed. Hot tub was fantastic and well used during our stay. Scenery around the property were stunning. Owners were on hand if required and very friendly. Good location with plenty of walks in the area. Especially enjoyed walking around Tarn How and decided to walk to the top of Black Crag on route. Views of lake Windermere at the top were stunning and well worth the extra walk. Enjoyed eating out a couple of nights at The Rose & Crown in Ulverston and would highly recommend especially the Sunday roast.Would definitely return and would certainly recommend these pods to friends and family.

"Absolutely loved our stay at the Rowan Pod and would definitely recommend."
The views were amazing & so was the hot tub - it was just the peace and quiet relaxing break we needed!
The only couple of things we had abit of an issue with was the shower and flies. The shower pressure is really low and the temperature gage is next to impossible to use - it was constantly flicking between freezing cold and boiling hot and made showering really difficult :( we also believe that horse flies may be getting in via the fan in the bathroom or there’s some kind of nest as they kept appearing in there even after we made a lot of effort to get them out and keep blinds shut.
Apart from this, it was a lovely stay and you can really tell how well the owners look after it. We also had Meg the owners sheep dog visiting us everyday for fuss which was a highlight!
