We were thrilled with the whole thing- it is a beautiful house in a stunning location and suited our needs perfectly. Thanks so much!

Stayed here for a family holiday, absolutely beautiful house and surroundings. It has everything you could need and more- the welcome basket full of local foods was a lovely treat.

Hi Christine, what a fabulous weekend we have had, just what we all needed. beautiful house, beautiful location. Just perfect. Thank you so much for your help and hospitality.

What a fantastic weekend we have had, amazing house, beautiful location and stunning views. We genuinely did not want to leave. Great host would absolutely stay again!

Perfect place for our family celebration! Fabulous house and the owners were so lovely to deal with at booking and throughout. Will be booking again in the future.

We were an extended family of 17 enjoying a long weekend for my belated 50th birthday, ageing from 16 – 78. We all loved Melmerby Hall, there is nothing that hasn’t been thought of. Every kitchen drawer, cupboard etc is crammed with everything you will ever need. There are books and games and a television for entertainment, the boys particularly enjoyed the billiards room.  If you need a quiet moment there are several options of rooms to sit and read. The rooms are furnished beautifully and well equipped, the bed linen was really luxurious. The grounds are beautiful as is the village, The Shepherds Inn was magnificent and service, food and even the locals were excellent, very welcoming and friendly!

Stayed there for the weekend with friends and my little dog. Apart for the weather everything was perfect and the welcoming hamper even included dog treats. I would recommend it 100% and The communication with Christine was great. We can’t wait to stay there again!

An exceptionally warm, comfy, clean and very well equipped cottage. A real home from home. The location is great for exploring Carlisle and Hadrians wall, the Pennines and the eastern Lake District. There are good pubs nearby for food and Penrith is just 20 minutes away for provisions. Some good local walking too near the River Eden and the Long Meg stone circle. Can highly recommend the Rowley Estate properties and especially Elk Cottage.

We’ve had the most amazing stay at Melmerby Hall, it’s  truly magnificent.

Extremely comfortable well, appointed cottage. Lovely walks from the cottage and dog friendly area.
