Amazing weekend at Eskdale House. Just book it you won't regret it. Yvonne is lovely and responds super quick. House is 500 years old so not modern but just stacked with charm and character. We loved it and cant wait to come back. Xxx

Dad's 80th

We had a fantastic weekend celebrating Dad's 80th. The house and setting was perfect. We enjoyed both the house and garden. We had a lovely day at the beach which is a very short drive away. Would definitely recommend.

We brought activities with us to use outside given that there was plenty of space eg.rounders and football. . There were 16 of us, we were all very comfortable in our rooms which were clean, light and airy. Lots of other rooms to use downstairs so we weren't falling over each other. Plenty of bathroom facilities which were more than expected. Yvonne could not have been more helpful in our requests even lending us a bottle of oil that we missed of our shopping list. We all agreed we had a lovely weekend.
