We had a wonderful weekend in the Lake District, staying at beautiful Blencowe Hall absolutely stunning property in a fantastic location just a mile outside a beautiful village of Greystoke. Everything perfect for large groups, all bedrooms beautifully furnished and decorated honestly amazing. Couldn’t fault booking process and all correspondence received up to, during and after our stay, I would honestly recommend it’s a gem of a place.

An amazing Easter wedding weekend for my daughter & son-in-law, 2 horses & dogs! Just a glorious setting for the ceremony, the celebrations & an Easter egg hunt! The accommodation is excellent & we really appreciated the lovely welcome hampers. Thank you so much for helping us make some fabulous family memories; can’t wait to return to make some more!

We hired the whole estate for our wedding over Easter weekend. The Hall, the cottages, the shepherds huts, the grounds and the Byre were all stunning! So well equipped and the lovely little touches like welcome hampers, toiletries etc are a lovely welcoming touch. We came, along with 50 guests, our dogs and our horses and we didn’t want to leave. It was the most perfect weekend in the most beautiful setting! Christine and Joanna were just amazing throughout the whole planning process and were so welcoming when we arrived. Absolutely lovely people, lovely place, We will certainly be back.
If you’re looking to book, I would highly recommended and would also recommend Eden Catering solutions for your stay. They catered the whole weekend for us and were absolutely brilliant!

Our stay at Blencowe was incredible! What a gorgeous property. Everything was perfect and made celebrating my 50th birthday truly wonderful and unforgettable. Christine and the team were super helpful in answering questions and making sure we felt welcome and at home during our entire stay.

I can’t describe how amazing this place is! I was very lucky to have won a stay here as part of the Bud Light competition! Then we asked Christine if we could return for Christmas! It was such an amazing experience to get married here and was the last time we were all together with my wonderful mum!! Christine and her team are so attentive and accommodating! Anything you need for 24 people staying in a Castle in one of the most beautiful places in the world!! Just book it!! It’s amazing and has created memories I will never forget!!

WHAT an experience and WHAT a place. I was King of my own CaRstle for 3 nights and it was absolutely BRILLIANT.
We had a Piper pipe us in for dinner and a pizza wagon (all provided by the EXCELLENT Lynn Hilditch – recommended by Christine, of course).
From the word go Christine has been exceptional in helping me in every way. Allowing me to pre view and look around to answering any questions I had.
24 of us enjoyed the gorgeous surroundings and the beautiful Northern lights. I wouldn’t hesitate to book for a large gathering.

We recently spent a fabulous weekend at Blencowe Hall with family and friends celebrating a Birthday. This is an outstanding venue that is steeped in a fascinating history which has been carefully and sensitively restored.

The owners and staff teams clearly work very hard to keep Blencowe Hall well maintained. It is very comfortable, clean, tidy and well stocked with everything that you are likely to need for your stay.

We also found the owners to be very approachable and helpful, when planning our stay and during our stay.

There are plenty of shops and supermarkets close by in Penrith at which to purchase food and places to visit such as Lake Derwent, Lake Coniston and the town of Keswick.

During our stay we took advantage of using a local caterer to provide us with an evening 3 course meal in the impressive dinning room at Blencowe Hall which was superb. Additionally, we also spent a day at Blencowe Hall participating in a clay pigeon shoot. This was something neither we or our guests have previously experienced but was thoroughly enjoyable to all and very informative.

The owners have contact details for a host of activity providers and caterers. Should you wish to arrange something during your stay.

We cannot recommend highly enough a stay at Blencowe Hall to anyone wanting to plan a special family occasion such as birthdays, weddings, or simply a get together with friends. We genuinely feel that you will not regret a stay in such a unique building and it’s surroundings.

We booked Blencowe Hall to celebrate my 50th bday with family, 19 of us in total. The most beautiful house, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen- we had the most fabulous stay and didn’t want to leave.

We had a family gathering for my husbands 70th, there were 25 adults and 10 children we used Blencowe Hall and Cazenovia Hall looking at pictures online does not give it justice, It was AMAZING.
Everything was clean from the bedroom to the kitchen which was very well stocked with everything you needed.

We were able to have a family dinner on the Saturday and had the use of the Byre.

we expected it to be cold so took warm clothes but they were not needed it was so cosy everywhere.

Christine (Host) was very helpful and answered all our question.

Thank you for making our weekend so special

Stayed here with a group of 12 excellent location, very luxurious and all home comforts
