ROOKHOW
QUAKER MEETING HOUSE, BUNKBARN & WOODLAND
COME STAY WITH US
3 & 4 night bookings released for this summer
Escape to the heart of the Lake District, but leave the crowds behind. Rookhow is a secluded haven of tranquility, with 12 acres of private ancient woodland nestled between Coniston and Lake Windermere.
Stay in our cosy self-catering barn with its log fires and snug sitting room and make use of our campfire, outdoor seating area and newly renovated yurt with woodburner and wooden floor in the middle of the woods.
With accommodation for active families and groups, Rookhow is the perfect destination for your short adventure break or relaxing holiday in the Lake District.
Our unique and historic site also includes a 300 year old historic Quaker Meeting House for extra group & workshop space. Space to camp too.

Rookhow is a registered charity. By staying here you will help to support our charitable work. We give 5% of every booking to our Retreat Away Fund to enable disadvantaged and vulnerable groups to stay at Rookhow for a reduced cost. We also provide groups with support to find other charitable funding to stay with us.
"Beautiful stay for all the group. Lots of walks in the grounds, searching for the Gruffalo and bears. We sat in the yurt for bedtime stories and ate smores. We played family games, card games and enjoyed magic tricks! The families had the opportunity to connect with each other and find some space to breathe. Thank you from all of us!" Family Action Barrow- Mums Minds Matter
"We wish to express sincere thanks to the Quaker Mental Health Fund for making this possible. The facility was perfect and enabled our residents to take time out from their extremely busy routine. Together we are stronger - this is a great example of partnership working to help our communities." The Well Communities
"We are in deep appreciation about being able to run
some of our wellbeing days for our young people at Rookhow. Rookhow in itself
is a place where healing takes place effortlessly due to its beautiful setting
and its atmosphere.”
Rookhow was initially granted £10,000 from the Quaker Mental Health fund UK to subsidise stays for mental health groups. This was so successful that Rookhow trustees have decided to donate 5% of their booking income in 2022 to enable more charitable groups to stay at Rookhow.
