    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.
