We have just spent the weekend at Healey House for my daughter's Hen party & had a wonderful time. The house is very spacious & so well equipped, a huge thank you to Mel for making us so welcome and helping out when we locked ourselves out! We all would highly recommend.

The house is fabulous! It's also huge (there are 17 of us and the house still felt incredibly spacious), really lovely and comfortable without being so posh you're on edge the whole time and can't relax. It's very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, and also really interesting; there's so much to see, you could go back 10 times anRead mored still discover new things. And this may sound a bit random, but the downstairs loo is brilliant - if you book this house you will see what I mean! To say there is plenty of outside space is quite an understatement, and you can happily spend the day playing croquet, basketball, football, or just reading on the comfortable garden furniture. We had a brilliant weekend and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Hide

The house was very spacious for our family group to celebrate a 90th birthday. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds and good quality linen and towels. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen for cooking, a fabulous dining room and lovely big garden, outdoor seating and a barbecue.

We very much enjoyed staying in this grand and welcoming house, in its peaceful yet accessible setting. It is well equipped and comfortable. The photos don't fully convey the immense scale of the place, and of many of the rooms and grounds. There was plentiful space for our large multi-generational family group, and we made good use of the croquet,Read more trampoline, fire, games, pool table, TV projector, and well-equipped kitchen. There was also lots to do nearby, including walks in the peaks, exploring small towns and local industrial heritage, with cities and destinations like the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in easy reach. Helpful owners were on-hand to address our queries and issues quickly. Hide

A very beautiful and characterful old house with a friendly feel, which was warm and comfortable in fairly chilly weather conditions at the start of the holiday and gave our large party a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The property was very very well equipped with everything one could possibly need. The house was filled with characterful art worksRead more, some by Mel Brooke. The downstairs rooms benefitted from beautiful fresh flower arrangements, presumably by Mel also. One of our party summed up by saying that it was a privilege to stay in such a beautiful old house, evidently prepared by the private owners with love and care. The Heronry in the large pine tree in the garden, containing 5 herons nests was of great interest to the wild life observers in our party. Hide

We had a fabulous time in a fabulous place! We booked Healey House to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and it was exactly right - great accommodation, beautiful gardens in full summer glory, lovely croquet lawn (which we took full advantage of for an afternoon) and the owners had even laid on beautiful weather
