Ladyham Hall is an elegant Jacobean country house, just north of Northampton.
The house sleeps 18 people (plus up to 2 children) in nine beautifully presented bedrooms, three of which are en-suite. The remaining six bedrooms share two large family bathrooms There’s also a downstairs’ cloakroom.
Ladyham Hall has been carefully renovated and retains impressive original features, such as the plaster-work ceiling in the library, and the oak-paneled dining room (which seats twenty in comfort). The front hall is known as the ‘Griffin Hall’, for its magnificent carved newel post.
There is also a large and well-appointed kitchen (with an Aga and additional butlers’ pantry), that leads into a glorious light-filled conservatory, over-looking the garden.
The drawing room offers a comfortable retreat after dinner, and on summers’ evening, the French windows can be flung wide onto the garden.

Hired this house for my 40th birthday last month for 18 of us and everything was amazing! Clive and Pamela always available if needed but left us to our devices and I couldn’t recommend more how amazing this place is. I am not sure why the negative reviews as it was a great weekend and great place. Only thing to be aware of is there are quite a few rules to follow but it is their house and they are easy to follow so if you are an adult then you will have no problem and have the best time here

Clive and Pamela, What an incredible time we all have had celebrating my 90th Birthday. Ladyham Hall is so perfect for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, All eighteen of my family were able to be together . Everything is so beautifully furnished but not precious, we felt relaxed using all the rooms.We had a top chef cook incredible meals for the celebration. It is a very well planned property , with everything supplied to make your stay memorable. I loved the fascinating art work. I’d love to live there.

Had the pleasure of staying for two nights in this beautifully furnished manor. Ample amenities and facilities to keep the family entertained. Rooms were clean and spacious, with each its own unique style and design.Definitely a unique experience.

Just bobby dazzler! We had the most amazing weekend with dear friends celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We couldn't have asked for more... the house was just fabulous - glamourous, comfortable, a real treat. we had everything we needed - the facilities were great! From the BBQ to the dining room for a celebration to the grounds and the outside eating area. Dealing with Clive and Pam was clear, straight forward and they were a delight to deal with. We would go back in a blink and would highly recommend. Thanks Pam and Clive for an amazing weekend and the loan of your beautiful home. Jules & Fothers

We had a wonderful stag party at Mears Ashby. It really is a lovely house. The owners were fantastic. They were very welcoming and they did their utmost to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Checking in and out was very simple. Deposit was returned quickly, minus flowers for the neighbours for the loud music! (sorry about that!) In all an excellent weekend that I know all of us will remember for a long time! (differing levels of clarity no doubt!)

We recently stayed at Ladyham Hall for a week as a family birthday celebration. I must say the property and grounds are beautiful! Communication with Clive from the outset was prompt, clear, helpful and personable. We all managed to thoroughly relax and it was just what we all needed. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion...
Flora Johnston
What an incredibly special and utterly spectacular place to stay. Clive and Pamela were friendly and helpful and made the whole experience completely flawless. The house and gardens are in immaculate condition and it really is perfect for any event with amazing grounds and even a party room to continue the festivities in. Just being in this house makes you feel special, it had everything we wanted and more. It oozes style and decadence and the experience was a real pleasure from start to finish. I already cannot wait to go back to this magical property.
Sue & Steve
What a fabulous house and just the perfect setting for any gathering. We had an absolutely fabulous weekend celebrating a special birthday with family and friends. Would highly recommend Ladyham Hall, it has everything you could need. Thank you

I rented Ladyham Hall at the end of February 2020 for my 60th Birthday. From the first conversation with Clive I knew it was the right choice. My guests were amazed at the stunning house which really feels like it is your home for the weekend. I can not recommend highly enough from the moment you drive up it feels so special. The Party room is fabulous, the Dinning Room homely even with 20 people in and we loved the Drawing Room, the Library and the Grounds. Book with confidence this is a great place for that special weekend - we will come again and have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you Clive and Pam for allowing us to make such wonderful memories.

A fantastic venue for a weekend away. We stayed at Ladyham Hall a couple of months ago and had a wonderful experience in what is a truly amazing property. The large kitchen and the library are a particular highlight, as are the grounds - including the tennis court and games area. All bedrooms are also really great, so nobody was left feeling like they don't have their own master suite. The property was handed over in a fantastic condition (clean, tidy and clearly well looked after), with the owners Pam and Clive being extremely friendly and welcoming. I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone looking for country weekend away.

I have rented Ladyham Hall twice now, once for a family Birthday Party and the other for a group holiday with friends. I would highly recommend it. Ladyham Hall truly is a very special and unique venue. This quintessential English Manor which I liken to our very own Downtown Abbey. Has provided our family with some of our best holidays. The house has stunning grounds to walk and the interior is beautiful with original intricate manor decor. We have had such great Holidays staying here. We rented once in the summer and enjoyed outdoor dinning on the patio and playing tennis and croquet on the lawn and we have rented once in the winter and made use of the spectacular kitchen, function rooms and beautiful living rooms each with unique designs. There are a variety of activities for our group ranging from children to adults. The location is great with great local facilities shops and pub walks with plenty of peasants to spot. It really provides a unique experience to stay in such a grand spectacular venue which I can’t recommend enough. My wife and I have even said it would have been a lovely venue to have got married here. I hope my review has been helpful.

What a sensational experience. The minute you enter the property, you understand this will be one of a kind stay. Communication with the owners was incredibly smooth. Clive and Pam have been wonderful and extremely helpful. Great facilities, beautiful grounds, and excellent accommodations. An amazing garden and the house generally had everything we needed for our stay. We couldn’t recommend this destination enough. I can say with certainty that we will book this stay again!
Daniel Duper
This is a wonderful property with a huge amount of outdoor space and lovely rooms indoors for entertaining and relaxing. It has been been maintained to a high standard but still has a great quintessential English country feel to it .. it really is impressive from the moment you enter the drive ! Clive and Pam were beyond helpful and welcoming. Would return and recommend !
Sarah Haffner
We spent the most magical weekend at this beautiful house where we celebrated my husbands 50th birthday. The house is gorgeous, spotlessly clean and has been maintained immaculately. The games room and the party room put us all in the mood for partying and are a fabulous touch. Clive and Pam were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They are charming and accommodating and returned my deposit in full. I would definitely recommend it and hope to return in the not too distant future.

I recently stayed at Mears Ashby hall for my hen weekend celebration. I have to say it was nothing short of amazing! On arrival the house was very clean and so beautiful, even more so than it looks from the pictures online . We received a friendly welcome and tour of the house by the owners.There are many different areas of the house where you can relax with guests and the gardens are stunning. The party room is perfect for an evening celebration and we enjoyed spending one of our evenings under the disco lights!Contrary to some previous reviews, I received my deposit back in full after my stay.I would definitely recommend Mears Ashby for a relaxing stay, 5 stars from me!

We just wanted to drop you a note to let you both know what a fabulous stay we recently had at Mears Ashby. The pictures on your website are great but really don't do Mears Ashby justice. It is truly amazing!!! We were met by Clive who gave us a great overview of the house accommodation etc. Our extended family all sixteen of them arrived shortly afterwards and we can honestly say that every one of them were swept off their feet. Every bedroom and Bathroom Fab!!! Lounge, Library Fab!!! Kitchen Fab!!!! Grounds Fab!!! Games Room Fab!!! Everything FAB!!!! Thank you again Clive and Pamela for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We had a truly amazing stay and one which we will all remember for a very long time.
Justin Rodriquez
Thank you once again for allowing us to stay in your home last weekend. We had a truly memorable weekend and our Stag was particularly thrilled with our choice of accommodation.
Matt
Hi Clive, Many thanks again for the weekend. You have an incredible house which our guests were blown away by and the weekend was just perfect.
Andy
Clive, just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic weekend at your wonderful property. We had a brilliant get together and it was made all the more special by the setting and magic of that house. The way the house is prepared, the décor and the facilities available are all truly out of this world. I very much hope we left it in the way we found it.
Nick
Dear Clive, many thanks to you and Pam for allowing us use of your stunning home this weekend. It was the most wonderful way to celebrate a host of milestone birthdays and anniversaries and everybody - from the 4-year-old to the 93-year-old - had a superb time. The Hall is architecturally stunning as well as a very warm and inviting space. Your art and your design choices add to a very special and very stylish retreat. We'd love to come back again!
Charlotte
Hi Pam and Clive, we arrived at 1pm as planned! All is just perfect! It really is a WOW house! As you predicted Pam, I was completely overwhelmed on arrival and after a few hours I think I know my way around now! The kids love it and are having lots of fun already. They have taken over the top floor! Honestly the house is just beautiful - the character and history is quite amazing. The decor and all of your ornaments are just stunning. We can't wait for everyone else to join us tomorrow…….. We all had a fantastic time and loved our Christmas at Mears Ashby!
Amber
Dear Clive, we had the MOST wonderful weekend! Oscar was utterly surprised and the house was incredible, we couldn't fault it!
Joy & Carlos
Dear Pam and Clive, you have the most amazing house which exceeded all expectations (which were high to say the least). The attention to detail has made your home the ultimate special venue and our joint birthday celebration absolutely perfect. Thank you.
Shirley Walker
I should like to say that we all had a marvellous time at Mears Ashby for my 80th birthday celebrations; it was the perfect place for such an occasion. Everything came up to our expectations and would like to thank you for having everything there for us to use.Daphne our caterer produced a very nice meal enjoyed by all.
Ann and Michael
Dear Pam and Clive,Thank you so much for lending us your beautiful home for our marriage. It was a great privilege to share it with our children and grandchildren and everything was perfect. We thought it was lovely when we first came, but with all the flowers out and garden at its best in June, it was stunning.Charlotte and Millie were outstanding and we really would recommend them to other of your guests. Quite apart from their great cooking and organising, they worked so hard and with such a calm presence all weekend. We have no doubt that all of this made our families very happy - the children were never short of things to do - from a few weeks old to 15!What a very special weekend it was.
Imran Aziz

Murray
We had a great time at the weekend which was in part due to your amazing house. The sun came out on Sunday and it was glorious. I am not aware of any issues (other than having to leave). I am looking for another occasion as excuse to book again! Thank you.

Wonderful house and grounds for my husband’s 40th birthday. BUT, I strongly advise asking for the house rules before committing to see this works for you and the time you intend to spend there so not to dampen your spirit. We booked it to host our friends for the weekend for my husband’s 40th birthday with ... catering and staff (booked through their recommended supplier list). We were clear upfront we didn’t want a property we needed to spend the entire weekend clearing up after ourselves but would equally act as adults and not leave pizza boxes and toast crumbs about and act with decency as we would in our own home. However upon transferring the money, we were sent the house rules. This requested to not even leave one glass in the dishwasher and have every item returned to its original place. Not quite as previously agreed or discussed with Pamela. When this was questioned with Clive he simply ignored the emails. Despite being very quick and curt to chase for the damages deposit, not so quick to return it despite there being no issues in how we left the house…Beautiful house and grounds but definitely do your homework to ensure it fits with the spirit you aim for your weekend. OR hire cleaners!

Ladyham Hall Northamptonshire. Is the perfect venue for a special party celebration. We all had a fantastic time in a beautifully furnished useable hall. There were 18. Family members for my 90th birthday celebration Every moment created a wonderful memory. You will not be disappointed. Everything ... is provided to keep guests occupied. We did engage our own chef for the long weekend in July. I did not meet Clive or Pamela, but they were very helpful and easy to deal with. I highly recommend Ladyham Hall 5stars.
