Oh my goodness! What a find! Rudby Hall was the perfect venue to celebrate my 60th birthday with family and friends at the end of September. It’s the most magnificent house, set in beautiful grounds with gorgeous views, close by to quaint Yorkshire towns and villages and only 30 mins from the seaside.
The owners, Pam and Neil, are just lovely. So warm and welcoming and they provided a fantastic handover and lots of helpful information; far more comprehensive than a usual house handover, but totally required given the size of the property.
The house itself is just beautifully decorated, especially the “public” rooms and the bedrooms are immaculate with the most sumptuous bathrooms ever. Every comfort has been thought of throughout the house, from a large but still cosy living room with a magnificent open fire and tonnes of comfy seating, to a ballroom with sound proofing so that you can have a dance without worry of noise disturbance. Amazingly, there is also a little bar with wine fridges in the inner hallway which became a focal meeting point for all our guests. Bliss!
The dining room was bright and beautiful with lots of lovely round tables and chairs and stunningly decorated, making it an amazing room to celebrate my birthday dinner in.
The kitchen, prep area and back laundry room make for the dream set up for catering for 20 odd people. Add to this outside seating for warm days and you’ve just got the absolute perfect set up.
This home is truly magnificent and it’s been wonderful to find owners of such a large property that don’t take the micky when it comes to the rental price. The tariff was realistic, non-greedy and provided true value for money. If you live further south and dread the long journey, don’t! It’s worth a few hours drive and you couldn’t possibly regret it. Every one of our party were blown away. The owners are selling up and we can only hope that the next guardians of this beautiful home follow in the footsteps of the current owners, and continue to provide an a home that can continue to be loved by many in the future. We’d all love to return for Christmas one year. Thank you Pam and Neil for trusting us with Rudby Hall. It’s a party weekend we’ll never forget. Just perfect from start to finish!
