The Casterton Grange Estate

We were fortunate enough to stay at Casterton Grange after a cancellation enabled us to book in very last minute. We couldn’t have been happier with it. The house itself is absolutely stunning and beautifully fitted out throughout. It has the feel of a family home despite its vastness. Every comfort has been thought of from the generous welcome hamper on arrival to high quality linen and towels, comfortable beds and gorgeous roll top baths in two of the en-suites as well as a superbly fitted kitchen. The choice of rooms to relax in meant that even if you were a really large group you would have plenty of space and not feel crowded at all. We enjoyed the cosiness of the snug area next to kitchen / dining room with its beautiful old stove style fire as well as the light and airy conservatory! The full size snooker table and outdoor tennis court kept our kids entertained and the whole house is hide and seek heaven for kids of all ages! If you were feeling energetic there is even a gym room too. The garden was a particular highlight for us too as it had recently been replanted and beautifully landscaped and it was a pleasure to look out onto the grounds from all angles! The addition of a hot tub was a winner with everyone too!! The location of Casterton Grange also sets it apart. It feels as if you are completely secluded in a haven away from it all even though the nearby town of Kirkby Lonsdale is only a few minutes drive away. Walking into the adjacent field and up the hill away from the gardens brings you to the most spectacular view of the countryside. Another 10/15 mins walk away is the River Lune, great for paddling or swimming if you’re brave! On our last night we enjoyed the most breathtaking sunset from the top of the hill which was the perfect end to a wonderful, relaxing and refreshing week away. We can’t thank Patrick and Anneka enough for their hospitality and for being especially helpful with any queries or issues we had which were only ever minor! We hope to return to Casterton Grange again in the future and would highly recommend it!

We stayed 5 nights as a family last month in the main house at Casterton Grange Estate. The grounds, the house and everything about it is just beautiful. Patrick was so accommodating to our needs and requests that we felt so comfortable staying there before we even arrived. It was such a nice surprise to be welcomed to treats that had been left for us. Everything we needed was catered for including amazing bedding, towels, linen, as well as essentials such like kitchen roll, loo roll even cling film. The heating, lighting, and all the small touches like umbrellas, toiletries, so many different books to read & dvds to watch.. the access to Netflix but also the Sonos sound system just made the experience even better than we had ever expected. The pictures do not do this home justice. The setting is stunning and the living space is so well designed, we were lucky to have some sunny days and utilize the hot tub. I would love to return to Casterton and do it all again as there is so much to explore and appreciate in the home. We would have loved to see the observatory and the wine cellar, and it would be great to have an umbrella or shaded area outside so you can still sit out in the rain (when its warm) and appreciate the grounds if you choose to - hopefully next time :) I wouldn't want anything else to change, it's perfect. Thank you Anneka for all your help while we were there and thanks to both of you for a wonderful stay.

We found Casterton Grange online and fell in love with the idea of our having our Wedding there. We then visited in person and fell in love even more! The accommodation, gardens and setting is stunning and perfect for a Wedding Weekend. Anneka's enthusiam and kindness made the entire booking and planning process so special especially during a tough year. Anneka has supported us all the way, providing her stylish design input and contacts, and has been so accommodating and understanding. Unfortunately we had to postpone due to government restrictions but we can't wait to be able to say our "I dos" at Casterton soon. Sitting tightly waiting for 2021!

The Casterton Grange team are an absolute dream to plan your big day with. Super flexible, supportive and accommodating which has been such a relief whilst planning a wedding during Covid-19! The venue is stunning and just what we were looking for to host our big day. It's a perfect balance of character and modern facilities with plenty of room for our loved ones to stay on the estate too. Thank you Anneka and Paddy, you have been wonderful and we can't wait for our big day (whenever that might be)! Holly Straker & Jack Humphreys

We hired out the Casterton Estate for joint birthday celebrations with all of our friends and family and had the most incredible time. Every single thing about the place is amazing; the decor is incredible and every bedroom is so spacious with a beautiful en suite and a lot of space. The house is equipped very well and the communal areas are perfect for large groups wanting to spend time together! We were given great recommendations for the local town which is beautiful and lots to explore within walking distance. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a weekend/ week away or a beautiful place for a wedding or another kind of celebration. Would love to come back in summer as the outdoor space is amazing!

Our wonderful photographer Tiree first told us about Casterton Grange in our hunt for the perfect wedding venue. We arranged a visit and instantly fell in love…. Casterton strikes the perfect balance between being the grand, elegant country house it is and being a warm and welcoming family home. We spent a magical week in the main house on the run up to our wedding with our friends and family. Patrick, Anneka and Tammy went above and beyond to make sure our every need was met during our stay, paving the way for what culminated in the wedding day of our dreams. We watched with wonder whilst under the guidance of our superstar wedding planner Emma, the house was transformed on our wedding day into the most perfect space to exchange our vows. The beauty of the house and gardens offered up a never ending list of options for amazing wedding pictures and the grounds were just perfect for the wedding party tipi we’d dreamed of! The only down side of a stay at Casterton is that you’ll genuinely never want to leave. We can’t think of a more perfect way of celebrating our anniversaries though, than returning here in the years to come.
