Gunthorpe Hall: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

How many people does Gunthorpe Hall sleep?

Gunthorpe Hall sleeps 26 to 52 guests across 16 bedrooms. Your booking is for your group only — the listing confirms exactly what is included, and whole-property exclusive use can be confirmed with the owner when you enquire.

Where is Gunthorpe Hall?

Gunthorpe Hall is in Melton Constable. You can see the surrounding area, and what there is to do nearby, further down this page.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms does Gunthorpe Hall have?

There are 16 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Ask the owner for the room-by-room configuration when you enquire so you know exactly how the sleeping arrangements work for your group.

Can everyone eat together at Gunthorpe Hall?

Yes — the dining area seats 68, so a full group can sit down together. That matters for a group booking, because a house that sleeps a large party but cannot seat it together tends to split the group at mealtimes.

The minimum stay is 2 nights. Minimum stays can be longer over bank holidays and peak dates, so confirm your exact dates with the owner when you enquire.

What are the check-in and check-out times at Gunthorpe Hall?

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:30. If you need flexibility — particularly with a large group arriving at different times — ask the owner directly, as many are able to accommodate it.

Is Gunthorpe Hall dog friendly?

No — Gunthorpe Hall does not accept pets. If you are travelling with a dog, filter for dog-friendly houses when browsing other properties.

Is there parking at Gunthorpe Hall?

Yes — there is parking for approximately 25 cars on site. Worth knowing for a large group, where several cars usually arrive separately.

How do I book Gunthorpe Hall?

Send an enquiry through this page and it goes straight to the property owner — Group Escape Houses does not sit in the middle or add booking fees. The owner confirms availability, price for your dates and any deposit terms directly with you.
