Spent a fantastic week up in Kirkbride with the whole family and the dogs. Plenty of space, wonderfully warm, charming setting and a great garden for the dogs to run about in. So recharging with all the fresh air and amazing to look up at the fell as you stroll to the pub. We’ll be back soon!

We had a fantastic time at Kirkbride. It was warm, cosy and suited our needs perfectly. Melmerby village is idyllic and the village bakery a real gem. Would recommend

Our family spent Christmas at the lovely Kirkbride Hall and we all had an absolutely brilliant time. Christine had decorated the house with a tree, wreathe and lots of little details to make it really special for our arrival. There was a generous hamper waiting for us in the kitchen which was much appreciated after a long journey. Everything in the house was of the highest quality, the house was very well stocked and we thoroughly enjoyed playing pool and sitting by the roaring fire.
The gardens/grounds of the property were great and we were able to let all of the dogs off in the garden without any concerns of them escaping.
All in all we had a fabulous time and definitely look forward to returning again in the near future.
5 stars!

Had a short but fabulous stay at Kirkbride Hall. It was the perfect setting for a family gathering. The house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. we loved the nice touches like a delicious welcome hamper, the very nice toiletries and the dog towel and bowls. We spent a lot of time playing pool on the converted dining table. The house was very warm and it was nice to have a real fire on too. Christine was excellent with her communication and sent some excellent links for local information. It was hard to find fault with any aspect of the house or contents. There are some excellent walks straight from the house and handily placed for a trip into the Northern Lakes. We hope we will be able to return some time in the future.

A lovely house, very well equip, perfect location in Melmerby near a village pub, cafe and bakery, great for lovely walks from the house. Lovely log fire and very comfy beds, nice bathrooms with all necessities, we had a lovely weekend for my 50th, we’ve visited Kirkbride Hall and Melmerby Hall a number of times, we love it, a great relaxing get away.
Hamper also great for arrival.

Family Christmas. Ideal location, beautiful house, warm and cosy. Well equipped and furnished. Excellent information pack provided on everything on the house, surrounding area including walks. No hesitation in recommending.

A lovely cottage in a quiet village setting. Plentiful space for a family and a great rear garden to play in for the kids. A beautiful hamper was awaiting us on our arrival – which was consumed greatly over the week ! Thank you for the team for making it a lovely , relaxing and peaceful stay. Lovely walks all within reach and a bakery and pub nearby.

Fantastic stay at Kirkbride Hall, booking, communication and instructions all excellent.

We have just had a really brilliant few days at Kirkbride Hall, every aspect of it was fabulous. The welcome, the communication, the hamper, the facilities, the house, the garden, the beds, the attitude towards guests, all wonderful and we highly recommend Kirkbride Hall.

We had a fantastic stay at Kirkbride Hall. The accommodation is wonderful. Everything is very high quality, with thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and the useful folders with lots of helpful information. The hall is in a great location, close to both the Lake District and North Pennines, and with a local pub and cafe within walking distance.
