A wonderful house for our family group of 18, coming together from all over the country, to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary. The 8 children pretty much entertained themselves, playing games of tag and hide and seek (the perfect house for it!), football, croquet, exploring down by the stream, giving guided tours to the ‘ghost’ in the cellar (we took one with us). Hardly a phone to be seen. Which left the 10 adults plenty of time to catch up, mainly sitting around the lovely long breakfast table. The snooker table was a huge hit with everyone. There was so much to do that we scarcely noticed the overcast weather. Catering was shared between everyone, made easier by having two dishwashers, and plenty of fridge, freezer and larder space. We loved the choice of bedrooms, with so much character in all of them.

A group of friends and myself stayed at Melmerby for the weekend and it was fabulous. Perfect size and comfort level for a large group, spotlessly clean, and well stocked for self catering. The garden was beautiful and immaculate, and the local area was stunning for walks. We had a lovely meal at the village pub. Thanks Christine!

Amazing stay at Melberby Hall celebrating my dads 70th Birthday. We had 5 families across varying ages and a few dogs. The place was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Stunning house, wonderful location and fabulous hosts. Thank you and hope to be back again one day!

Just enjoyed a fabulous 3 night stay at Melmerby Hall. The Hall is so well set up for a family get together like we had. Various rooms for us to use either all together or to break into smaller groups and not feel cut-off. So well equipped with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Very clean, warm and comfortable throughout. This was our second stay at a Rowley Estates property and I strongly recommend them.

A group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melmerby Hall. The bedrooms are of a high quality, with supremely comfortable beds – I haven’t slept so well in a long time. And the generous dining room, kitchen and sitting room were all very conducive to enjoying each others company. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

We stayed at Melmerby Hall as part of 70th birthday celebrations and it was the perfect location. The house was wonderfully equipped and interesting, with beautifully appointed bedrooms. The rooms were warm and inviting, despite a snowstorm on our first night, and the open fires provided an appealing focal point. The younger members of our group spent hours of fun in the impressive snooker room on the top floor. The welcome hamper was delightful and all our dealings with Christine were friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Sunday lunch at the nearby Shepherd’s Inn pub was a treat. All in all a perfect choice for a weekend retreat in spectacular surroundings. Sumptuous but homely.

Melmerby Hall is a beautiful location to stay and is fully equipped with all amenities. The photographs do not do the true beauty of the hall justice – it really is a special place. The hall is expertly and tastefully refurbished and all our needs were catered for. Christine and the team provided fantastic service and we will certainly be staying with them again in future.

Perfect stay. Warm and comfortable.

Incredible. I hosted 25 women for a yoga and wellbeing retreat. The estate was gorgeous, and immaculate. Everything I could have wanted and more. Every single person was in awe and we have made memories for life. We will be back!

We’ve been back on a big family weekend 2 years in a row, great house with endless rooms to explore, open fires and large gardens, highly recommend
