Marlwynd Keep, North Lincolnshire

Set within five acres of formal gardens and 27 acres of private parkland, Marlwynd Keep is a Grade II listed stately home in the North Lincolnshire countryside. Elegant, secluded and rich in character, it offers the rare pleasure of having a stately home setting entirely to yourselves.

Created for those who value space, privacy and the quiet art of occasion, the estate brings together sweeping lawns, beautifully appointed interiors, fine antiques, original paintings and countryside views that feel wonderfully removed from everyday life. This is not simply a place to stay. It is a setting for long-awaited family gatherings, milestone celebrations, special birthdays, elegant weekends and grand occasions that deserve more than an ordinary house.

The Main House

At the heart of the estate is the main house, a beautifully furnished private residence sleeping 14 guests as standard across seven bedrooms. Stays in the main house start from £1,500 per night, with a minimum two-night stay.

For guests who wish to make the stay even more indulgent, the suite can be added for £250 per night. Sleeping two additional guests, this brings the main house capacity to 16. The suite is a showpiece in its own right, with rich fabrics, an emperor bed sourced from a Milanese castle, a roll-top bath and exquisite Clive Christian details. It is opulent, romantic and perfectly suited to those who want the finest room in the house.

For larger parties, five additional guest beds can be arranged at £20 per bed, per night. These form part of the maximum main house capacity, taking the house from 16 to 21 guests when all five are added.

For groups wishing to take the full estate, yurt and lodge can also be booked alongside the main house. The yurt sleeps up to four guests and is priced at £225 per night. The lodge sleeps two guests and is also priced at £225 per night.

When the main house, suite, additional guest beds, yurt and lodge are all booked together, Marlwynd Keep can sleep up to 27 guests in total.

The reception rooms are made for slow evenings, champagne before dinner and conversations that carry long into the night.

The grand dining room offers an impressive setting for shared meals, while the kitchen, complete with a traditional Aga and modern appliances, supports both relaxed self-catering and private dining. A private chef can also be arranged on request, allowing guests to enjoy a fully catered stately home experience without leaving the estate.

Each bedroom has been individually styled, combining period charm with modern comfort. Sky and Netflix are available, offering familiar modern conveniences while preserving the feeling of being somewhere historic, private and memorable.

At Christmas, the house is beautifully dressed for the season, with a magnificent 15 ft tree in the grand hall adding an extra sense of magic, warmth and occasion. It makes Marlwynd Keep especially suited to festive gatherings, winter celebrations and elegant Christmas stays.

The Grounds and Estate

Beyond the house, the estate opens out onto manicured lawns, formal gardens and peaceful parkland. Horses graze nearby, the views stretch across the countryside, and the grounds create a sense of privacy that is increasingly hard to find. Guests can enjoy long walks from the estate, relaxed outdoor dining, the barbecue area and the private tennis court. A private hot tub is also available at an additional cost for those who want to add another layer of indulgence to their stay.

The yurt offers a romantic hideaway within the estate, where fairy lights, soft comforts, countryside stillness and its own private hot tub create a world of their own.

The lodge provides a private retreat for two, tucked away in its own peaceful setting with a hot tub, elegant interiors, beautiful views and a fully enclosed paddock for dogs. It is ideal for couples seeking privacy, comfort and a little extra space for their four-legged companions.

A Private Stately Home Story

Marlwynd Keep is for guests who want more than a weekend away. It is for those who want the doors opened, the fires lit, the table laid and the feeling, even just for a few days, that they have stepped into their own private stately home.
