Booked this property along with Kirkbridge Hall to have family celebrations, and Melmerby delivered beyond expectations. The property and grounds are amazing, and will make any get together here memorable. The owner was lovely. From the initial booking to the amazing Welcome Hamper, they made our stay as wonderful as it could be. The property has everything you need mixing modern with traditional. The village itself hasn't much to offer, but the location is close enough to Ullswater or Penrith for those wanting to get out and do activities. It made for an unforgettable staycation. Thank you.
We are delighted to read that you had such a wonderful family celebration at our special property Melmerby Hall. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Few comments - the lights kept tripping, including once at 1.30am when we were reluctant to call the housekeeper. Secondly, guests generally felt that the bathrooms needed upgrading - hardly any counterspace to put even a toothbrush in some cases. Also 2 bedooms had 4ft beds which were really too small for a couple - these rooms could easily have accommodated a 5ft bed (this point would definitely put us off booking again for an all adult party). Finally it would be nice to have proper curtains (or blinds) in some of the bedrooms that blocked the light when drawn
We booked Melmerby Hall for a special family celebration and it couldn't have been more perfect. Elegant, spacious, comfortable and clean. The dining room, drawing room and library were the perfect settings for a murder mystery and the whole house just lends itself for hide and seek! We would all love to go back. Special thanks to the housekeeper for being so accommodating and helpful.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
