Lovely cottages and really nice sized pool and hotub. The gardens are wonderfuland peaceful. Idyllic setting for peace and quiet and very convenient for Pickering. Pickering is great for groceries, gift shops and has excellent cafes. The pool and table tennis tables were a good touch. Cottage was comfortable and roomy. Pool and spa area was good buRead moret difficult to get the kids out of. So much in house entertainment with great walks and view, you could spend your whole time at the location. Great. Hide

The Mallard at mels was excellent, one if the best cottages we have stayed at. Spacious, clean and well equipped. The welcome gift was a lovely touch especially including Easter eggs for the kids as we visited over Easter break. Any contact with the owners was pleasant and friendly, the site is clean tidy and well maintained. Some renovation work wRead moreas clearly underway but was always done so as not to disturb or inconvenience guests, will definitely consider staying again. Hide

A lovely cottage, very well equipped and great to have a log burner. Having the Christmas decorations up was a lovely touch. The owners were very kind and helpful, nothing was a bother and the leisure suite was a real bonus. Amazing location with lots of lovely walks nearby. We would definitely recommend this property to other families.
