We had the most amazing wedding at Melmerby Hall in September 2021 and literally couldn’t rate it more highly. From my first contact with Christine it was the most lovely experience. Joanna was our wedding organiser and talked us through every step required and recommended the most brilliant suppliers who we referred to as the A Team. We stayed four nights at the Hall getting married on day three. The Hall is stunning, full of character, charm and elegance whilst also feeling so homely, the grounds are amazing and are a fantastic backdrop for a wedding. We hired the Hall and Stag Cottage and they were so well equipped – brought a whole new concept to self catering. The wedding was magical and I want to say a massive thank you to lynn Hilditch who did our stunning wedding breakfast as well as drop off food and stone baked pizzas during our stay, Alison from Yewbarrow Flower farm who grew and created the most wonderful wedding flowers and Debbie Walker who did our hair and make-up, I honestly have never felt more special. Thank you all for creating the most special day for Mark and I, one that we will treasure forever. Xx

Great 4 night stay, lovely property all mod cons. Coal fire with logs. Near small villagers with pubs and cafes. Christine very quick to respond if you have a query. This is our fourth stay in Rowley estates. And we will be back.

A wonderful and welcoming property surrounded by nature and beautiful walks.

Great place to stay with many places just a short drive, property is well maintained and was very clean with a generous welcome basket . Recommend the Rowley Estates. Many great walks for all abilities and outdoor activities in the local area . Plenty of Historic things to see and some nice scenic view points Loads of places to eat within a short drive but the village has a very nice bakery that doubles as a shop and a pub with nice food and drink open Wednesday to Sunday.

We enjoyed our week in the spacious house and garden of Kirkbride Hall. Very comfortable accommodation in a quiet village that provides a good base for trips to the Lakes and easy access to the North Pennines.

Our stay at Kirkbride hall was everything we had wished for and more. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped. The management team could not have been more helpful in accommodating our needs and that of our 2 year grandson. Would definitely recommend. Look forward to our next visit

Excellent as always. A wonderful cottage with a home from home feel.

+ We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the place when we arrived. Your team did a good job.

+ the dining room and two bedrooms above were spectacular, having the double glass doors.

+ all the other bedrooms were absolutely in keeping with a period building.

+ the lounge was very comfortable with all the leather sofas, and allowed for different activities within the one room.

The Americans in our party were awestruck, and could just not believe what they were seeing.

I should mention that we think there might be a ghost (unless someone was playing a trick). The couple in the bedroom at the top of the south tower heard someone coming up the stone stairs to their room, but when no-one appeared they went to look. There was no-one on the stairs and no-one in their bathroom either. Spooky!

Fantastic place to holiday with beautiful long distance views. High quality throughout. Very spacious with every bedroom en-suite a boon. Everyone in our family loved our stay. Highly recommended.

An amazing place to stay. We had a wonderful holiday. Everything was to a very high standard. Christine was very responsive throughout the whole booking experience. Nothing was too much bother. The welcome basket was very much appreciated. We will certainly come back in the future.
