+We recently stayed for 7 nights and cannot recommend Mellwaters Farm enough. Our stay in Wren cottage was delightful it was so clean comfortable and tastefully furnished and in such a peaceful location. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The farm staff we saw were equally friendly and welcoming, altogether a fantastic holiday and one that we would highly recommend 😀 Thank you Michael, Andrew, Philip & Sally for a lovely holiday, we will definitely be coming back!
−The water pressure in the shower was the only problem we had

“Lovely quiet farm location”
+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.

“Brilliant find”
+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 chai

“Mostly good, but be aware”
+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.
