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 really wonderful experience at Melmerby Hall. Our 3rd stay and hopefully more to follow . Perfect Birthday experience shared with family and friends. There’s everything you need for self catering, everything. We do a lot of self catering and almost always there’s something missing but not here....

Christine was extremely helpful and responsive. The place is a gem, perfect for our family gathering.

Our first trip to the Lake District was incredible and was made even more special staying at the Oak Retreat. Cozy, comfortable and quiet. Loved the breakfast and log burner and a great nights sleep after a long day of hiking. Deserves all the praise it receives!


Staying at the Gill Beck barn was amazing. The house was spotless upon arrival with a lovely welcome package. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable and the wood-burning fireplace was an amazing addition on a cold winter night. Christine was also very communicative and made sure our stay...

This is a fabulous cottage, lots of luxurious touches like the welcome hamper and lovely toiletries. The three bedrooms are huge. The Christmas declarations were approved of by our children. Stunning setting and spotlessly clean. We would return.
