A home from home in the Lakes
This is a really lovely and immaculately maintained property, and one that provides and excellent base for exploring the Lake District. It is very well equipped and comfortable, and also nice and quiet - just the tonic if on a break. We enjoyed cooking and relaxing and also exploring the local area, which was new to us. We hope to stay again!

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings
The village is tiny and very peaceful but just off the A66 and very handy for Ullswater and Helvellyn. The cottage itself is well equipped and maintained to a high standard.

Be careful - might get charged for damage you have not caused to property
Please be careful when booking this property, as you might be charged for damage that you haven't caused to the property. We enjoyed the stay at the property itself as it is a clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful rural setting, but after returning home we got a message from the owner accusing us of spilling red liquid on the bathroom floor and charging us £100 for something that we have not done. The red stains (which are negligible and look like they've been there for quite a while) were on the bathroom floor when we arrived, so whoever caused the damage, it was definitely NOT us. Our dog died just before our holiday and we let the owner know as we wouldn't be bringing him along with us as planned, but we were never offered a refund for the additional pet fee and did not care to ask for one as monetary things do not matter during times of grief. And now, to top it all off, we have been accused and charged for something we haven't done, making us the scapegoats for someone else's damage. That is uncalled for, extortionate and unfair. We always pride ourselves on taking good care of all holiday homes we stay in and we've never been treated like this before. So if you book this property and if there is anything amiss at the property when you arrive, make sure to document it as you might be falsely accused and charged for something you haven't done.

A haven of comfort and peace with stunning views
This is a gorgeous property, beautifully furnished, spacious and very comfortable. It is set in a quiet and unspoiled area, with views across the fells and to Blencathra, and surrounded by fields which - when we stayed - were full of sheep and lambs. There is a large garden which is securely fenced so the kids and dog could run around happily without us having to supervise too closely! The kitchen is modern and had everything we needed for family meals, and we were very happy taking a sofa each and settling down in the living room in front of the fire every evening. The bedrooms were charming, and ours had a brand new bed - bliss! Mellfell View Cottage was perfect for the family to relax and unwind after our active days out.

Fantastic inside and out
The property is clean, comfortable and really well equipped. The views from the peaceful garden were wonderful and the location was quiet but with easy access to the surrounding area. All in all a great place to spend a relaxing week.
