Reviews

Fantastic large house with plenty of space inside and out that easily accommodated 10 adults and 8 children. Great character and highly functional. We used Lynn Hilditch Catering for a special meal; Lynn’s food was remarkable across the board and the service was brilliant. Highly recommend this house and Lynn for catering.

22 members of our family and friends celebrated our golden wedding at Melmerby Hall and Stag Cottage, staying 3 nights. The accommodation is magnificent in terms of quality of fittings, size, comfort and it’s preparation. We used outside caterers for our main celebration meal and Lynn Hilditch and her team equaled the high standard of the accommodation completely
We have no hesitation in recommending this venue to any one who feels the need to be truly spoiled

We all had a memorable stay at Melmerby Hall which is a truly splendid property with interesting grounds and a marvellous outlook.

The house itself was very well equipped and the ready availability of logs from the store was indulged during our stay. We all liked the theming of the rooms in terms of furniture, fixings and fabrics.

It also felt exceptionally well heated for a large property. The log fires were not required for additional heat but more for atmosphere!

The location itself in The Eden Valley proved very strategic for our trips to the Lake District whilst the proximity of the North Pennines and Northumbria suggest that we should have a return visit sometime soon. There is much to do and see.

We shall collaborate on providing you with a Google review in due course and I shall be in touch once submitted.

We certainly look forward to a return visit to Melmerby given our experience.

Many thanks to you and the entire team for great memories!

Honestly, the best airbnb I’ve stayed in. Melmerby Hall is exquisite. Roaring open fires, beautiful antique furnishings and lushious gardens and surroundings. Christine was an impeccable host and every little detail had been considered. Nothing was too much trouble and even the beautiful welcome hamper had so much thought incorporated into it. We spent three glorious days at Melmerby Hall with friends, family and our pooches and we will absolutely be making it more of a regular occurrence. I cannot recommend Melmerby Hall or The Rowleys as hosts, warmly enough. Thank you so much Christine and Co!

This was my 5th visit to one of the Rowley Estates properties and have to say I find each and everyone exceptional.
18 of us stayed at Melmerby Hall for a weekend in November.
The Hall has more than enough beautiful comfortable living rooms if you want to escape from the other guests and have a read of a book.
Large dinning room and kitchen for everyone to gather in.
All the bedrooms are a good size with your own bathrooms.
If I am looking for either a small or a large gathering of family and friends my first choice is always to check out the Rowley Estates.
You definitely will not be disappointed

Just spent six nights at Melmerby Hall with extended family celebrating an eightieth birthday. The hall and surroundings are magnificent. It easily accommodated 16 of us in very comfortable and excellently maintained accommodation. Our ages ranged from 8 to 80 years and we could all find plenty to do including play snooker, enjoy dining provided by a local caterer and there was always space for whatever we wanted to do. Would highly recommend for location, quality of accommodation and support provided by owners as regards places to visit etc.

Great accommodation, great facilities, great location. Very well equipped and very spacious. Plenty of room to swallow up a big group. Friendly and helpful owners too.

We stayed here for the second time with a group of friends and everything was perfect. The hall was spotless, warm and had everything we needed including a very generous welcome pack. We had a meal delivery from the local bakery one night and ate at The Shepherds Rest on another night. All in all a wonderful place to stay.

Fabulous, spacious property in a beautiful location and wonderfully well equipped
