Our walking group are just back from a wonderful stay at Melmerby Hall. The house us a wonderful mix of period style and modern facilities with extensive grounds to explore. On our arrival we had a brilliant hamper full of lovely local products and plenty of the essentials for our self catering stay. The kitchen and dining rooms had everything we needed to make our stay hassle free. It was a great place to share with friends and we would certainly like to repeat the experience. Many thanks to Christine and all the team from…

The Wharfdale Wanderers!

Our stay at hawthorn retreat was exactly what we wanted, a quiet place with beautiful surroundings. It was very well equipped and a lovely decked area to sit around at night with a glass of wine by the fire pit. Christine was a great host with good communication, we will definitely be returning in the near future.

A lovely place to stay for a long weekend break, will definitely go back for our trip next year!

We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Retreat and can’t recommend it enough! The attention to detail was outstanding — from the generous welcome package to the endless supply of wood for the fire, everything was so thoughtfully prepared. Christine’s generosity and the little welcome treats were such a special touch. She’s an exceptional host, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. A real cut above the rest — we would return in a heartbeat!

We stayed at Blencowe Hall from Wednesday to Sunday with a group of 22 for a Traitors Weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. Every aspect of the accommodation suited our needs perfectly, from the spacious layout to the stunning setting and comfortable bedrooms.

Christine and her team were a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. The property is extremely well priced for the amount of space and quality it offers.

We had an unforgettable weekend and would definitely consider booking Blencowe Hall again next year if it is available.

We had a great stay at Glassonby Hall – would highly recommend!

This home is simply wonderful. So cosy and a huge amount of space. Everything felt to the highest quality from the bedding to the decor. The kitchen is so well equipped for cooking and the views of the mountains were amazing. Our favourite memory were the sheep running down the road one morning with the farmer. The hampers were a kind and thoughtful touch. Would highly recommend.

Melmerby Hall
Our family (20 of us) long weekend was the best in over 20years.The Hall’s welcoming presentation was excellent and equipment provided eg in the kitchen was really comprehensive.
The location in the centre of the village with cafe/pub was ideal. The hall is set in well kept grounds and woodland with opportunities for walks directly from the Hall. Lots of information on the area was provided by the hosts.
We were all so pleased hat we have agreed to meet here next year!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Oak retreat, the property is just as described, was a lovely touch arriving to the goodies left by Christine. The location was great only being a 20 min drive from Keswick. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic location, beautiful setting. Very well equipped and presented. Comfortable for our large party. Great choice for a big party.
