Skendleby Hall Reviews 

28 of us, for most of whom this was a second visit. Twelve years ago we enjoyed a joint birthday gathering for two 70 year olds. It was marvellous then and even better now.

All enjoyed the new facilities and very much the new decor and increased comfort. Most of us travelled over 200 miles for this great re-union.

We will be back for the first great-grand child.

What an amazing house & grounds, when we drove through the gates, it took our breathe away! It was just perfect for 23 of us of all ages....
Very well furnished & of a very high standard.
Amanda was lovely & went out of her way to help us in every way.
We all said we would definitely love to come back in the future.

I've never actually reviewed Skendleby but I shall now. Having been to their other property, Pine Lodge for a number of special birthdays and unfortunately, it's now no longer. I got in contact with Ruth about Skendleby for my gather in-laws birthday. Skendleby is absolutely gorgeous, lovely bedrooms, plenty of space and much more. The grounds that Skendleby sit on are just lovely. Would highly recommend to everyone looking at a special gathering. Actually visited back in 2022!

A high standard of accommodation,
offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families. Perfect for a large family get together/celebration but at the same time offering space for all ages to relax and unwind in a quiet space.

Wow what a holiday! Am so thrilled we found Skendleby Hall as our venue to celebrate my dads 70th birthday, it was absolutely perfect. We had 19 adults, 5 children and 3 dogs and had the most amazing time. I’m sure there were rooms we didn’t even have time to use!! Amanda was simply the best host, I was a pain as needed constant reassurance through an earlier blip with a different holiday company and Amanda truly made me so at ease with the booking all the way through. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and I know the family feel the same way.

This is a beautiful house and gardens. There is plenty to occupy everyone of all ages. We came to celebrate two 60th birthdays and everyone had a great time and would love to come back. The Blacksmiths arms pub just up the road is highly recommened. We will be coming back for another visit. I would definately recommend this beautiful house and gardens to anyone.

This is a beautiful house, both inside and out, with amazing hosts, who could not do enough for us.
The house is in lovely condition and presented beautifully for its guests.
There is everything there that you would need for a fantastic stay.
I would 100% recommend this 5* property

We had our wedding weekend at the stunning skendleby hall last weekend.
It was absolutely perfect. The owners Ruth & David was so helpful, the setting is wonderful and the facilities excellent.
Guests from far and wide all loved their stay.
Couldn't have chosen a more special place for our special day.

As visitors from Canada, our weekend wedding experience at this large country home was very special. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. Beds and linens were top quality and many rooms came with splendid views. Owners were super helpful. The beach is a fun, 20 minute drive away. Highly recommended for all ages. We were impressed.

From the moment we contacted Skendleby to the moment we sadly had to leave and go home, it was a great experience. Answered any questions promptly and were on hand throughout to make it a very memorable family get together for an 80th birthday. The snooker room is amazing, the grounds beautiful and the dining room, kitchens, hot tub, sauna...well, all great. Wasn't a single bedroom that wasn't spacious or full of character and the whole propertly is really well looked after. If you can, go.

We had our wedding here the weekend before Christmas and it was perfect. The venue was beautiful anyway but was also decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. Ruth and David were so easy to work with and very supportive to make our big day special. The rooms for guests were lovely and had a real home from home feel. I especially appreciated the hot tub the day after the wedding to relax 😌. I can not wait to have another family get together at the Hall.

A beautifully maintained house, which has been thoughtfully equipped to provide entertainment for guests of all ages! We had a wonderful family gathering!

A great space, the photos do not do it justice. Beautiful in and out with great hosts who are always there to help with any questions.

We also used Chocolate Fairy for a catered meal in which was outstanding.

Would highly recommend.
Great value for money, only wish we could have stayed longer!

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. It was a wonderful day and the scenery around the Hall was perfect for photos. Ruth and David were brilliant at making sure everything went smoothly on the day. We look forward to visiting again... this time for a family holiday!

This was our return to Skendleby Hall with our family of 23 (12 adults and 11 grandchildren aged 6-14). We were delighted to find everything as welcoming and comfortable as we remembered. The house and garden (or mansion as the children call it) have much to offer all ages and are as described on the website.
If you’re looking for relaxation there’s a great selection of rooms from which to choose – expansive drawing room large enough for all our family and more; “piano room”; library/games room with its large selection of books and board games; sauna; hot tub; snooker room; games room for table tennis, air hockey, table football and pool; TV room. Several rooms are connected to the Sonos sound system so if you enjoy music, singing, dancing, you’ve got that option. We enjoyed a family disco in the “piano room”. There’s also the garden and BBQ area for outdoor games and eating.
The bedrooms are all very well-appointed and the beds are comfortable.
The two kitchens and dining facilities provide flexibility for many different combinations of family dining.
Although Skendleby itself is a small village it is within reasonable distance of a wide range of holiday activities.
Ruth and David have obviously invested a lot of time and energy into this wonderful holiday home and are most helpful and considerate hosts. We look forward to visiting again.

We, 22 of us ranging in age from 7 to 77, have just spent an amazing week at Skendleby Hall. It is a fantastic holiday property, it’s large, it’s rooms are spacious, there’s room for everyone to find a favourite place. The bedrooms, all 13 of them, were beautifully decorated and often included antique items and the beds were very comfortable. Downstairs we kept finding more and more rooms often containing lovely Persian rugs. The kitchens, 2 of them, are very well equipped even down to 2 different types of cocktail shakers! We need to return to enjoy it all over again.

Amazing experience of being together with my family in such a beautiful mansion in the countryside. Can't wait to do it again!
