Amazing stay at Melberby Hall celebrating my dads 70th Birthday. We had 5 families across varying ages and a few dogs. The place was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Stunning house, wonderful location and fabulous hosts. Thank you and hope to be back again one day!

Just enjoyed a fabulous 3 night stay at Melmerby Hall. The Hall is so well set up for a family get together like we had. Various rooms for us to use either all together or to break into smaller groups and not feel cut-off. So well equipped with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Very clean, warm and comfortable throughout. This was our second stay at a Rowley Estates property and I strongly recommend them.

A group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melmerby Hall. The bedrooms are of a high quality, with supremely comfortable beds – I haven’t slept so well in a long time. And the generous dining room, kitchen and sitting room were all very conducive to enjoying each others company. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

We stayed at Melmerby Hall as part of 70th birthday celebrations and it was the perfect location. The house was wonderfully equipped and interesting, with beautifully appointed bedrooms. The rooms were warm and inviting, despite a snowstorm on our first night, and the open fires provided an appealing focal point. The younger members of our group spent hours of fun in the impressive snooker room on the top floor. The welcome hamper was delightful and all our dealings with Christine were friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Sunday lunch at the nearby Shepherd’s Inn pub was a treat. All in all a perfect choice for a weekend retreat in spectacular surroundings. Sumptuous but homely.

Melmerby Hall is a beautiful location to stay and is fully equipped with all amenities. The photographs do not do the true beauty of the hall justice – it really is a special place. The hall is expertly and tastefully refurbished and all our needs were catered for. Christine and the team provided fantastic service and we will certainly be staying with them again in future.

Perfect stay. Warm and comfortable.

Incredible. I hosted 25 women for a yoga and wellbeing retreat. The estate was gorgeous, and immaculate. Everything I could have wanted and more. Every single person was in awe and we have made memories for life. We will be back!

We’ve been back on a big family weekend 2 years in a row, great house with endless rooms to explore, open fires and large gardens, highly recommend

We stayed at Melmerby Hall and Stag Cottage from 22 December – 27 December 2023 to celebrate my 60th Birthday and the Christmas festivities. We have previously had the pleasure of holidaying at various cottages owned by the Rowley Estates and it was exciting to be celebrating at Melmerby Hall this time around. Christine and her amazing team make the whole experience 5 star (from initial enquiry to leaving at the end of the stay) at whichever property you stay in.
There were 24 of us in Melmerby Hall and Stag Cottage (including 9 children) and every one of us could not fault anything about it. The Hall is so well equipped, and the beautiful welcome hampers are second to none. Both properties were decorated for Christmas with the most beautiful trees, door wreaths, swags, ribbons etc.
We made use of the wonderful gardens with a treasure hunt for the children and to run energy off playing hide and seek. All the children were delighted too that we had a visit on Christmas Eve from Father Christmas himself!
All in all, our stay has to go down as one of our best Christmas’ ever and we cannot thank Christine and her team enough for their hard work and dedication to make our dream come true. A beautiful property in the most fantastic location, with endless walking opportunities from the front door.
I am so looking forward to our next cottage stay later this year.

We had a wonderful stay last week at Melmerby Hall. It really is a delight! It was immaculately prepared for us when we arrived. It is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything a big party needs and the huge and well maintained gardens and woods were great for walks and for the children to run around. It’s also ideally placed to visit the many places of interest in the North Lakes.
