A great space

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!

Beautiful wedding venue

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!

Wonderful return to Skendleby Hall

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.

An amazing holiday house!

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.
