We stayed here for an 80th birthday gathering and all loved it. Plenty of hiding places for the children and lots of safe running space for the dogs. Huge lounge with a crackling fire for the family pub quiz. A good time was had by all.

This is the third property belonging to The Rowley Estates that we have stayed at with varying numbers of family and friends.
Each of them has been well presented with the descriptions being accurate.
The welcome baskets provide useful items – it is always nice to be able to arrive and have a cup of tea before doing anything else!
This time we had some meals provided by Lynn Hilditch’s drop off service which were very good.
We are contemplating a fourth venue for next year – suffice to say, we would recommend any of the properties owned by the Rowley Estates!

We’ve done quite a few multi-generational weekends away over the years, and Blencowe Hall was by far the best we’ve stayed in.

The house itself is stunning, full of character but also incredibly comfortable. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the kitchen is very well equipped, which made catering for a large group so much easier.

Christine was a fantastic host, really responsive and helpful throughout, and nothing was too much trouble.

A perfect place for a big family gathering, we’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful place to gather family and friends for a birthday celebration. Everyone loved their bedroom, gathering for cocktails in the Solar before enjoying meals in the beautiful dining room and trying to beat the youngsters at pool or billiards. When the weather allowed we explored the local countryside and when it didn’t, we were able to visit local pubs and towns. Blencowe Hall had everything we needed and more – even for the most discerning of cooks amongst us. We’ll definitely visit a Rowley Estates property again!

Blencowe Hall is an amazing venue inside and out. We had a large group of 30 across both the Hall and Riverain cottage. Everything was brilliant, the views, the spectacular rooms, lots of communal space, and a well equipped kitchen with lots of storage space. The welcome hamper was lovely, the hall and cottage were so comfortable and very clean. All communication with Christine throughout booking and additional information, (organising a hot tub too) was very helpful. We had caterers on one day which was great, and the kids had a great time exploring the hall! It was spotless and all the little details (toiletries, hamper, towels, fire wood, toilet rolls) show a lot of consideration for large groups. We all had a great weekend celebrating a birthday, and would definitely love to come back and stay again!

Wow, Blencowe Hall is just stunning! The owners had everything covered: spotlessly clean, fully equipped kitchen, dining table already set, a large living room, manicured gardens…and done lovely touches. It’s a beautiful Castle/Hall and we will definitely return. An ideal venue for a family celebration.
Thank you Christine

Amazing place for large group of people to enjoy a special occasion

Another memorable trip to a grand venue – despite how spectacular the property is, it manages to feel like a welcoming home!

Blencowe Hall is absolutely stunning inside and out. We have just had the most amazing, huge family Christmas here and everything about it was brilliant. The rooms are incredible and the views are stunning. Every one of us was completely wowed by the experience of staying in such an amazing building. The place was spotless and every detail has been considered, from wonderful toiletries, fluffy towels and plenty of toilet roll in every bathroom to everything you could possibly wish for and more in a kitchen. And the very extensive welcome pack was very exciting. There were two beautiful Christmas trees and the dining room had been beautifully prepared with crackers, candles, stunning table decorations and napkins folded into Christmas trees. Blencowe Hall is a very special place and we can only hope we may be lucky enough to return one day

What an amazing place this is. Staying in a castle is so magical. All the rooms are different but equally luxurious. It’s an ideal location for a large group – we take our yoga groups here and the dedicated yoga room is great. The owners could not be any more helpful and kind too. Thank you Christine and the team.
