Mellbreak

Well presented property with a rather frustrating view from the living room window.

It would be spectacular if it wasn't for the roof of the building in front. Storage heater on ground floor was turned off on arrival resulting in a very cold first night in the single bedroom. Difficult parking for one car only and occasionally neighbours bad parking meant no parking available next to property. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Excellent location. We had a fantastic holiday despite the relatively minor frustrations mentioned.

A lovely stay at Mellbreak.

Facilities and comfort excellent. Area so picturesque.

Chapel Stile, lovely quiet place to stay.

Accommodation was very comfortable and clean with great views. The house had everything we wanted and we enjoyed coming back to it after a long walk. We felt having a 2nd car would cause problems with parking as there was really only room for one. Wainwrights inn did lovely food and beer.

Great location in the Langdales, and an easy walk to pub and shop, as well as some fantastic walking nearby.

House was spotless and the kitchen was very well equipped, plus there was reliable wifi. Upstairs shower and curtains in second bedroom need attention but it didn’t detract from our stay.

Great well equipped comfortable property in a fabulous location.

Wonderful views, walks and lakes to explore.

The immersion heater was not working and so we had no hot water and it was impossible to speak to anyone on the 2 numbers supplied as only to do with booking, cancelling n rebooking and you were cut off if none of these!

! We had to go to Windermere the next day to Lakelovers and report in person. However someone was round very quickly to fix the problem so that was a plus. The cottage is very 'tired' and the sitting-room furniture needs replacing. But the beds were comfortable and the house was very clean.

Lovely place to stay.

Have visited lots of times and hope to come back lots more. Great place in a great location.

Great location for exploring the Langdale area.

Parking space at the rear, makes arriving and departing easy. The cottage is maintained to a very high standard, it is exceptionally clean and tidy throughout. The kitchen is well equipped and short of nothing. Lounge comfortable as are the beds in the bedrooms. Wouldn't hesitate to use this cottage again.

The signage will be posted due there are four buildings with numbers the left and the right like other properties in that area

Nice little cottage, beautiful views and walks

Another wonderful stay in Chapel Stile and Mellbreak.

It is an ideal location for walks around Langdale and for exploring the area. A very comfortable well equipped home from home property.

Always a pleasure to stay at Mellbreak.

Clean, tidy and well equipped, it's become something of a home from home. I'm sure I'll be back again.

Cottage was ideally situated for walks from the door, with lovely views and so peaceful and good parking.

Very comfortable and so well equipped. Only problem could see is visiting in colder weather and having to wait for storage heaters to warm up.

It would be helpful if the listing mentioned the freezer in the garage.

It would be even better if the freezer could be relocated to the kitchen. There was enough space in the master bedroom to have a bigger bed, which would be welcome. The spiral staircase was solid and felt secure. The sofas were comfortable and t in general the space was well planned - the dining table is extendable. It took some time to find certain items in the kitchen, such as the cafetière, which was inexplicably hidden at the back of a cupboard whist teapots were out on the counter. It is a shame that the lovely view from the front is partially blocked by the roof of the house in front. We enjoyed lovely walks along the river and on the fells.

We have stayed before and it suits us, but possibly not everyone as there are several stairs to climb and it has no garden just a patch at the front with nice view.

Handy for walks from the door, a good Co-op and good pub/eatery within short walking distance.

Easy to find, parking was no problem, access was easy.

The house is in a lovely location, opposite Bays Brown Farm and Campsite. Not a great view from the window as it looks on to other houses but you don't have to go far to get a good view up the valley. We had to go around the house as soon as we arrived, to turn on heaters, hot water and appliances, which was a bit of a pain. The house is somewhat dated but comfortable and well-supplied, although a spare toilet roll would have been welcome. The house was clean but the black mould in the grout in the shower could do with some treatment.

Lovely well equipped cottage in an ideal location

Nice property, comfortable & well stocked in kitchen.

Good to have access to washing machine & dryer. Overall a lovely stay.

Have stayed at Mellbreak several times before.

Always clean and comfortable. Such a great base for walking the Langdale valley and surrounding area. Hope to return.

The property is generally good and as described.

Two things were not good:- There was no information or facilities for recycling which is not acceptable. The lighting in the lounge/dining room was dim - we were not able to read in the evening.

The condition of the property was not as good as stated in the information provided.

I slept in the ground floor bedroom. It was very damp. I left a jacket on the chair overnight and it was wet the next morning. All of the accessible areas of the cottage were satisfactory but the corners and out of reach areas had not been cleaned for a long time. The kitchen cupboards were very cluttered with too many items, not all useful. The holiday was enjoyable as the cottage is in one of our favourite Lake District destinations.

Absolutely wonderful, real home from home.

I am 83 and didn’t have any trouble with spiral stairs , in fact I loved them. Kitchen wonderfully equipped, my daughter in law and I amused the grandchildren showing things we grew up with. I have stayed in many self catering houses and rate this as one of the best. I was wheeled into village and to the amazing river. Had to have help with footrest but so comfortable. We all had a great time such a good centre . We all hope to return. Thank you very much indeed. GREAT

The cottage was beyond our expectations.

It looks that it's recently refurbished. All kitchen appliances and tools are available. The cottage also provides TV and collection of board games to enjoy your time. It has a wonderful view on green hills of Lake District. We'd like to re-visit Mellbreak cottage again.

The Cottage was very comfortable and in an excellent location.

It was within a very short walking distance of the village shop and Wainwrights pub. The only improvement would be the addition of a blackout blind in the twin bedroom. We will be returning.

The house is lovely and had everything we needed for the week.

Everything was well explained in the folder. The property was clean and comfortable my favourite chair was the one in the main bedroom looking out the window at the fabulous back drop. The only thing and it’s a small thing was the freezer it kept over freezing and had no shelves so things fell out when I opened it. However we loved the house and location so much we have rebooked for next year.

Mellbreak Cottage was an excellent find.

Great facilities and very clean and tidy. Location was excellent. Would definitely consider it again.

Have stayed at Mellbreak several times now.

Always clean, comfortable and well equipped. Hope to return soon.

Have stayed at Mellbreak several times now.

Always clean, comfortable and well equipped. Hope to be back there soon.

The property had some cob webs plus the seal around the bath was needing attention and had evidence of mould on large sections.

However, it had everything we asked for, the sofas in particular were very comfortable. The location was central to where we wanted to be and we were delighted.

Suitable property - just what we wanted for a mini-break away.

Access and key arrangements worked really well,

Have stayed at Mellbreak several times before.

It is always clean, comfortable and well equipped. A great base for walking in the Lakes. I hope to be back soon.

Lovely location within easy reach of walks and activities.

Well equipped with all required and comfortable beds.

The house is in a fantastic location, Chapel Stile is beautiful with several walks available on your doorstep.

Parking was an issue, as other residents don't stick to their parking area meaning some days we had nowhere to park. We certainly couldn't have parked 2 cars as suggested! The house was very well equipped, all cooking equipment you would ever need provided. We were disappointed that there was no milk, tea bags, sugar, etc provided. We've never been anywhere without these, a lot of places we have stayed in have even provided biscuits or cake before. There was a tshirt left in a drawer from a previous resident suggesting a lack of cleaning in some areas. There were also a lot of cobwebs in the downstairs bedroom between the bed and bedside drawer, and also at the bottom of the staircase, and the small drawers down there were also very dusty. I think the location makes up for the shortcomings though, and I would recommend it.

It was a great experience one of the most memorable moments of our life, great location will definitely visit again.

The property was very clean and comfortable with ample facilities.

A true home from home.

Immediately impressed with the property, facilities and kitchen equipment.

Very comfortable accommodation and will definitely stay at Mellbreak again. Perfect location for hiking in The Langdales plus a great book collection for this amateur photographer!

A really nice and comfortable place to stay, great facilities and really well equipped.

An ideal position for exploring the Langdale valley or if you’re crazy, riding the ‘Fred Whitton Challenge’ as we did! Definitely recommend this cottage to anyone.

We loved it.

A great cottage in an excellent location.

Our main suggestion for improvement would be to please get better pillows - they were all extremely thin and unsupportive. Also please provide info on recycling - we ended up taking ours home with us Apart from that the cottage had everything we needed and we had a lovely week, thanks. Especially good cooking equipment and also good facilities for drying wet clothes - really useful.
