Very well equipped and comfortable, cosy cottage with everything we needed and more.. Perfect location to explore beautiful Ullswater.

A big farmhouse in front of this cottage which blocking entire view.. It’d be handy to have a freezer so can make ice cube or freezing cooler box ice pack.

We stayed here over the New Year and it was everything we thought it would be and more.. Very clean and immaculately tidy. There was prosecco and biscuits on arrival which I thought was a lovely touch as well as the cottage being decorated for Christmas which made it feel very festive. The open fire made it feel very cosy during the cold winter evenings, wood was provided on arrival and it was easy to purchase more from the farm once we had run out. It was a great location for exploring the surrounding area of Ullswater and within an hour you can walk from the cottage to Aira Force. I couldn't fault anything with this cottage. The beds were comfy, with towels provided and the kitchen was very well equipped with all the appliances you need. Dog friendly which is a must for us with dog bowls provided. I would highly recommend this property and would love to stay here again in the future. 5 stars.

The cottage was great - in a lovely, quiet setting - but close to Ullswater, Pooley Bridge, etc.. Very comfortable and well equipped. Chocolates and flowers on arrival was a nice touch. Minor problem with the WiFi sorted out very quickly. All in all a great place to stay - hope to be back!

The description of the property was misleading.. We are still waiting to see the four poster bed which was supposed to be in the master bedroom. Did not exist. The cottage was NOT a 5 persons facility, it had 3 single beds in the 2nd bedroom. With 3 grown up boys it was cramped and uncomfortable. The boiler/heating system was remotely controlled, it was cold on most days We had to call the owners during the stay as the shower and internet did not work. Very disappointed in the accommodation and might not use Sykes holiday cottages again.

Mr Jordan

This accommodation was lovely, it was very well equipped with dishwasher including tablets and other cooking essentials.. The bathroom was a good size with plenty of toilet rolls and soap. The beds were super comfy and the lounge/ dinner area was lovely in front of the log fire of an evening. The whole house smelt fresh and clean. It was in a good location and quiet. Very enjoyable holiday destination.

Our time at the cottage was amazing. We are looking forward to staying again soon; possibly as part of a bigger group.
Mr Hyder
August 2016
The cottage was lovely, clean and comfy.. The only things we missed were a washing machine which would be really handy especially if you're walking and getting muddy and also have kids! There's a dishwasher but to be honest I'd rather spend 15 minutes washing dishes and have a washing machine there instead. Also the Wi-Fi only worked very irregularly, we only really had Wi-Fi for a day or so and it didn't work the rest of the time.

We loved the position of the cottage and the surrounding area is fabulous.The cottage was cosy and comfortable with a pub a short distance away for meals out.

Mellfell Cottage is a very comfortable clean well equipped cottage. We were happy it rained as we could justify spending so much time in it though there are fabulous walks from the door step...
