Overview
Blissful comfort in a modern Cumbrian classic.
Kirkbride Hall, built from recycled dry-stone walls on the estates, looks like it’s been here forever. Curl up on your window-seat overlooking the sundrenched walls of the parish church of St John and daydream. Flip the dining table for a game of snooker and a chance to catch up. Stoke the wood stove with logs from the estate and stretch out on generous sofas and chaise longue for family film nights or to lose yourself in a book. Off kitchen duty? Invite in the caterers; there’s plenty of room. Or make the most of long summer nights and spark up the barbecue for a Cumbrian grill washed down with wine from your generous wicker welcome hamper of local delicacies.

Walled gardens, walks in the woods
Kick off your shoes on the lawn of your own walled garden. Hike the woods and fells with your dog (they’re always welcome here). Fish and paddle the Eden River, build dams and dens – there’s 20 acres of Melmerby Estate’s private grounds for you to explore.
If you’ve booked Kirkbride together with Melmerby Hall, we can unlock the gate to a private pathway down through the walled garden to connect you.
