Mellwaters Barn Cottages

The cottage is in an idyllic location. The personnel are extremely friendly and accommodating. There are adjustable beds and a stairlift.

We stayed three nights. There was everything we needed and more. They even left us a lovely complementary bottle of wine, chocolates, and a packet of shortbread biscuits. It was well set up on a lovely working sheep farm in a handy location. If we ever get back to the UK we would definitely stay here again.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Clean, lovely location, everything we needed.

What a lucky find. We are the Ipswich Canoe Club. We were looking for accommodation for a group of 11 people for a weekend paddling the River Tees. We wanted somewhere comfortable where we could get warm, have a shower and get a good nights quiet sleep after strenuous activity. We wanted a large comfortable social area where we could make and eat breakfast together and wind down at the end of a tough cold day on the river. Mellwaters Barn Cottages provided all of this and more. How many places offer 6 twin rooms with a combination of en-suite shower rooms and facilities shared between two rooms. How many places provide 4 kitchens and 4 comfortable living areas with one of them large enough for all 11 members of our team? What a joyful surprise to find a bottle of wine and chocolates for each room. Amazing to find welcome food in all 4 kitchens sufficient to make breakfasts. The pleasure of finding free parking for all our cars right outside. Interestingly the whole place is set up to help people with mobility challenges have a great holiday. There were stair lifts and a lift for wheel chairs along with cranes to help wheel chair users have a shower. There were electric lifting chairs and electric posture adjusting beds. What an amazing facility. I sincerely hope there is availability when we try to come back next year. A really big thank you to our hosts who were on site and available to help us and yet who left us in complete peace and quiet. Afterall with everything already supplied - there was nothing we needed help with.

Excellent for disabled/elderly guest with walker.

Communal washer/dryer facilities that weren't opened on time and hard to get in contact with owners. Extremely sensitive smoke alarm kept going off. Location is very remote.

Fabulous cottage, home from home. Lots of lovely extras left for us. Beautiful location. Owners really helpful. Defiantly recommend.

The only thing, plastic covers on mattress, the mattress protector had no elastic, sheet not a fitted sheet slid and crumpled, very uncomfortable.
