Mallard At Mels Cottages Reviews

Alex
Really disappointed, no walk-in shower available at the Granary anymore. Needs updating!
Liam
It's a really tidy place with a warm vibe. Lots of space and all the essentials are there. My granddaughters loved the pool, they were over the moon!
Mark
The location was peaceful, perfect for relaxing. The kids had a blast with the pool and table tennis. The sweets on arrival were a lovely surprise. Property felt a bit worn, but still enjoyable!
James Carter
Great experience overall
Emma Jenkins
We had a fantastic stay at The Mallard in Mels. The cottage was honestly one of the best we've been to-spacious, spotlessand fully equipped. The lovely touch of Easter eggs for the kids made it extra special during our holiday. The owners were so friendly and easy to chat with, which was nice. The site was tidy and well-kept, even with some ongoing renovations that didn't bother us at all. Definitely planning to return soon!
Emma W.
We decided to spend Christmas here since it was our first without Dadand honestly, it was great. The village is charming, perfect for dog walks in the countryside. The cottage felt super cosy with a log burner, comfy bedsand two bathrooms. The spa was a real bonus too. We'd definitely come back!
Emma
Good spot, but tea bags needed
