Stunning holiday stay exactly as described. Super responsive host. All the necessary amenities, plenty of room, wonderful outdoor spaces with incredible views. Several wonderful walks straight out the door and close to all things Lake District. Loved our stay. Especially the fireplace- at the end of a rainy day, there is nothing better than tea in front of the fire.

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!

Homely cottage in a great location for exploring the lakes

As a couple with a dog this was a great property for us. Perfect location with easy access to many great places in The Lakes. We found the cottage had everything we needed and the large kitchen allowed good home cooked meals. The property was a little cold (even in Sep) without the gas or central heating but after a while the portable heaters and a fan heater made it cosy. The views from the property were a pleasure to see each day and the good sized garden provided a great lunch or afternoon tea spot. Overall a fantastic stay and very much recommended.

Peaceful cosy cottage

Had a lovely few days at the cottage which is in a peaceful village. Communication with the owner was great and we had no problems accessing the property. We ventured into the village pub for dinner one night and used the local farm shop several times. The cottage was well appointed, spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Would recommend this property to those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

The perfect rural getaway

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at the cottage over New Year. It is small and cosy and set in a small village overlooking fields and hills. The sunrise in the morning is beautiful. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook meals and there is a large Sainsbury's about 10 minutes drive away to stock up on provisions. The Herdwick Inn is a great local pub about 10 minutes walk away (take a torch if dark!) and 5 minutes drive away is a llama cafe and farm shop, Basecamp. The main hiking spots are within easy driving distance too (approx 10–40mins). We will certainly be back.

Good value, gorgeous views

The cottage is in a lovely quiet rural location with beautiful views. As a family of four the two bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom worked well for us. The lounge is comfortable and spacious and the kitchen a lovely size too, with a table to eat at. We also appreciated the porch and utility room which was helpful when coming in with wet coats and boots. The garden is a really good size and with the enclosed wall was perfect for our dog. Overall the cottage is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We also visited the village pub for dinner one night which is about a 10-15 minute walk.

BEWARE will charge extra fees for cleaning

Whilst this property is lovely and in a beautiful setting we found the host to be extremely impolite and have unrealistic expectations upon her guests regarding pets and cleaning. Despite paying the extra pet fee for our dog to stay the host later complained about dog hair (some of which I’m not convinced was even from our own dog) and rearranged sofa cushions (the result of our 4 year old autistic daughter). This resulted in an unreasonable extra charge being taken from us after our holiday. PLEASE BEWARE if staying with pets at this property. Or ensure you do a thorough deep clean before leaving. Otherwise you may be charged.

Nice cottage near the Northern Lakes

The MellFellView Cottage in Penruddock is a great place to stay for visiting the Northern Lake District, Ullswater is just a 20 min. drive with the car, we walked there around Glenridding and took the Steamer up to Howton. A wonderful voyage. Penrith is nice for a visit, too, some shopping in the little shops around the old town, nice cafes and charity shops. Don't miss the wonderful Hedgehog-bookshop! The cottage itself was clean and well equipped, we missed a proper coffee-machine, but a Boddum did the job. Just a minor complaint, nothing to worry about. The cottage is great for two couples or a family of four, enough space for everybody, even in the sitting room. Great garden with some rabbits, fun for our dog ;-) - we had fantastic weather, so we sat there a lot of times, for breakfast, just reading and relaxing. Wifi is a bit weak, just tolerable on the ground floor, no signal upstairs, whatever. More books to read! All in all: A great location to live and spend some quiet time in the otherwise busy Lake District. Hopefully the local pub will open again soon, a pint or two in the evening would have been the icing on the cake. Thanks!

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.
