Wonderful stay with musical friends at Morland House. Fascinating to stay in a historic home yet enjoying modern comforts. Plenty of space for us to enjoy playing chamber music, when we were not out walking/exploring the gardens/eating & drinking. Fabulous location for a special get-together!
So pleased that you and your friends had such a special time in beautiful Morland House. Please do come again!

This was an amazing experience to stay in the Morland House! We stayed for a family weekend and it was so cool to see all the history contained within this building and family. It was very well kept with lots to keep up occupied - a super well stocked kitchen and lots of board games as well as lots of painting and other interesting things to look at! A lovely setting and was great to spend the evening by the open fire too!
Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed your special celebration in beautiful Morland House. We love it too! Do come again. Best wishes Frances

Thank you for allowing the historic Morland House to be used for visitors to stay in. We had a wonderful family reunion, which brought my husband and I, our sons, their wives, and children together from different parts of the world. Morland House was the perfect and interesting venue for all of us. The house is fully equipped, clean, and spacious. The gardens are beautiful and tranquil. It was truly a fantastic place to have quality family time together.
We are so very pleased that you had such a special and happy family gathering, for your special celebrations. Morland House is indeed the perfect place for such a gathering. We hope you can come again.

The 5 grandchildren loved discovering the gardens at Morland and their parents enjoyed drinking peacefully on the terrace knowing their children were safe and happy. Football, croquet, exploring, playing pool, a treasure hunt, and elegant birthday celebrations: we all found something to do at the house as well as a trip to the nearby fantastic playground, and lovely Ullswater and hills another day. It's a wonderful place, with very comfortable beds and space for a big family to gather as well as space to do your own thing.
Delighted that you enjoyed staying in Morland and many thanks for your appreciative review. You obviously had a happy time. Please do come again for the next family celebration! Morland House is indeed very special.
Fabulous weekend at Morland House
Another fantastic weekend at Morland House! Even the weather was kind to us. The house is always so welcoming and beautifully kept, as are the gardens! The cafe next door make delicious pizzas on Friday nights. It is a great to sit in the sunny garden with our pizzas and something to wash them down with. The walks around the area are plentiful.
We book Morland House for our family to stay in for our wedding at St Lawrence Church just next door. We had a super celebration with plenty of space and charm to share meals, bubbly and wedding cake at Morland House. The house is a very special place for family and friends to enjoy each others company.
Delighted that you had a wonderful celebration for your wedding and enjoyed staying in Morland House. It is indeed very special. Thank you for your great review and please do come again. Best wishes and thanks, Frances

Lovely peaceful gardens, some wild, some formal. Lots of little paths to discover by the river.
Delighted you enjoyed our beautiful gardens with its variety of corners to explore by the side of Morland Beck.

A beautiful rambling country house, with gardens that have to be explored to be appreciated, was the perfect setting for the best birthday I have ever had.
Delighted that you had such a wonderful celebration in Morland House and thank you for your kind comments. The gardens are indeed a hidden gem.
best wishes

We’ve been visiting this beautiful house since 2016 and we always have a wonderful time. The house is set in lovely grounds with plenty of country walks close by. There’s a very good cafe next door and they make delicious pizzas on Fridays. It’s also a good place to call into for a post walk snack - so we never go hungry! The team are always so helpful when we have any requests or comments and they keep the house very clean and well maintained.
It has everything in it that you would need and is a great place to stay if you are with a large group of family and / or friends.
Dear Debbie,
We are so delighted that you love our beautiful family home and have had many wonderful holidays. Thank you for your great review which is much appreciated. I will pass on your comments to the team who work very hard to maintain the house appearing so cared for. We look forward to welcoming you again as soon as you can make it.
with warmest best wishes, Frances ( on behalf of the Markham family)

Gorgeous looking house and gardens in fab village in lovely valley. Yet to visit house and grounds but the back entrance in the churchyard looks soooo inviting!!
Do hope you can visit soon and see the stunning gardens for real!

Morland House was ideal for our large family aged from 10 upwards to celebrate a significant birthday. Everything about it suited our family perfectly - the historic ambiance, the furnishings and scale of the rooms, the comfort of the bedrooms etc, the kitchen facilities and equipment, the beautiful garden setting and rural surroundings, and the proximity to activities. There were also plenty of indoor games and entertainments should we have needed them. A highlight was the excellent externally catered meal facilitated for us by Frances, Julia and their team. Many, many thanks.
Dear David. Absolutely delighted that you and your family had a happy time and that you enjoyed beautiful Morland House. As you appreciated, it is a wonderful family home set in stunning gardens and perfect for special gatherings. I hope you feel well celebrated! Do come again. With best wishes and many thanks for your kind review. Frances (trustee)
Thank you very much for your great review which is much appreciated.
Do please come again. Best wishes, Frances

Morland House simply could not have been a better place to celebrate a 70th birthday, with 19 friends and 4 dogs there for 4 days in late May. It has been a family home for generations, and although it is a much larger house than most of us could ever aspire to, it is welcoming with good 'vibes' and comfortable as well as having a distinct touch of grandeur. The beds are wonderful, the rooms are spacious and there are plenty of bathrooms, showers and hot water. There is an enormous cosy kitchen, as well as a catering kitchen if you employ a cook for the evening, plenty of space for dogs, boots and the drying of coats (a necessity in the Eden Valley). There are books both ancient and modern, board games, a piano and sofas into which to sink round the drawing room fire, while you compose a quiz for the guests, perhaps, or you can play pool in the games room The dining room is large and panelled like some of the other rooms and hallways, and there is a great feeling of space so children (and even adults) can run around, or escape from others for a while. Outside, the Walled Garden is a delight, and there are lawns, borders and trees, with the beck usually hurtling through the wilder part of the garden where there are secret overgrown paths and various artefacts to discover. Walk out of one of the many doors and you are in the village , with the Mill Yard cafe, and many walks all around with far-reaching views to gladden the heart while you absorb the peace and quiet, making the real world seem a long way away.
Go and visit, for as long as you can, and you will see just what I mean!
Absolutely delighted you had such a great time. You obviously appreciated all that Morland House, with its beautiful gardens, has to offer. We think it is very special too! Thank you so much for your excellent review and do please come again. You would be most welcome, including your very well-behaved four-footed friends!

We had an amazing time at Morland house for a family reunion long weekend. There were 19 of us, with plenty space so we didn't get under each others feet.
There was lots to do...we made lots of use of the games room, played games in the garden and croquet on the lawn. It was great spot for running with plenty trails to walk and run.
The setting was stunning and the grounds are beautiful with access to the river.
The house was really well equipped and there wasn't anything we didn't have. It was clean with lots of facilities. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of toilets and loo roll! Fresh linen and towels.
The history surrounding the house and family was a delight to experience and the cards in each bedroom describing each family member were intriguing. It was an honor to have been able to have experienced what living in such a house was like.
We can recommend Shap Chippy! We arrived Friday evening and originally considered pizza's from the local place however, as there were so many of us and it was getting late we opted for fish and chips. Shap Chippy took the order over the phone at 7pm despite closing at 7.30pm and made our order ready for collection at 7.30 when they were closing up. They were delicious too.
Morland isn't far from Penrith so we were able to replenish food and drinks relatively easily.
Overall, it was a truly wonderful family weekend away made all the more special in the amazing comfort and surrounds of Morland House.
We'll definitely be returning and recommending to others.
Delighted that you had such a lovely time and enjoyed all that Morland House and its beautiful gardens has to offer. (not forgetting the amazing Shap Chippy!). Morland House is indeed a treasured family home which we love to share. Please do come again for another celebration, you are all most welcome.

The perfect setting for a special weekend celebrating my Mum’s 70th birthday, with a range of ages of 17 people and 3 dogs!
When we first arrived the house seemed soooo vast, but by the time we left it felt like a home!
The location is fabulous so much to see and do locally, and the house and grounds are simply stunning and wonderfully interesting!
On our first night we pre-ordered wood fired pizzas from the Millyard Cafe at the bottom of the drive, highly recommended and saved cooking on the first night!!
We also used Judith who had been recommended by the house to cater a Sunday roast in the dining room for us which was very special, so tasty, the beef was ‘melt in your mouth’ good! Judith was so lovely to deal with, we would definitely recommend using her!
The housekeeper Jane was warm, friendly and kind, and the manager Julia was extremely helpful providing assistance and tips before we arrived.
The beds were very comfy so we all slept well! The games room was enjoyed by all the family. The Drawing Room with the fire was a great space for us all to come together on an evening, we had lots of fun doing a quiz night, karaoke and a Murder Mystery night!
The kitchen and snug was warm and cosy and lovely to gather in a morning as we all meandered down!
We had such a memorable time and all wished we had a bit longer than 3 nights to enjoy all the house had to offer! Thank you to all for making it special and providing us with such happy memories!
Delighted you had such a very special time. Thank you for your glowing review. Do please come again! Thank you too for leaving all so tidy. Warmest best wishes Frances - family trustee
Ian Martin2024.03.12
Visited in early March. Not much to see at that time of year should be much better in the summer months
Delighted you had a great time and yes, Morland House is perfect indeed. Please do return for a third time!
Best wishes and thank you for coming, Frances
