Granary At Mels Cottages Reviews

Muffy
Lovely quiet location and the cottage was really clean. Very close to Pickering which is a lovely little town.
David
The property was not very well cared for, cobwebs in the window recess and over the curtains, dirty marks over the walls of all the rooms, and water marks running down the wall in the main bedroom. The main bedroom was tiny, and the beds very noisy and uncomfortable. Led to 3 restless nights. Broken plant pots in the bathroom. Leisure facilities weRead morere not great, pool was murky and cloudy, not inviting. This was for a 50th birthday and overall was very disappointing. Would not recommend. Hide
Melanie
The accommodation was in a great location for visiting the area and the owners left a lovely welcome pack.
Jane
Unfortunately we cut our stay short due to the cottage itself! the area around the cottage (Granary) is picturesque but the downside is the cottage, very in need of a good clean and some maintenance. The apartment itself is very compact, marks and scuffs on walls, skirting boards not fully attached to the walls and glass table tops that came off thRead moree stands. Bedrooms are small, metal beds that need a good oiling. The swimming pool area again in need of some attention, outside also uninviting. Hide
Pam
Loved the Granary, perfect with our granddaughter. Light and bright with nice views out, being upstairs. Pretty water gardens and a lovely village location. Much to do round about with kids.
Anna
A very pleasant start to self catering having always used hotels before. Very clean. Bottle of wine was a nice touch. I would have liked the spa/pool to be open longer as it was only available when we were out and about. Would recommend.
Janet
A lovely property in a wonderful area. We enjoyed our stay and made full use of the pool and facilities. Highly recommended.
Brian
Had a fantastic time everything was just perfect only wished we could have stayed longer. We definitely be booking again.
Katie
Lovely stay lovely pool. Well equipt compact cottage, unfortunately pub was closed for food. Other than that had a fab time
Shirley
Good value for money. May come again
Debra
Property is in a beautiful location and is very clean with very comfortable beds and lovely bedding. We had one or two questions (heating and icy steps) which were dealt with very quickly and in a friendly way, the owners were easy to contact. Lots of crockery, glasses, pans etc. Improvements: A coffee table in the lounge. Pool open earlier so we c ould have a swim before we went out for the day.
Steven
Lovely property with excellent facilities including hot tube and pool. The cottage itself was wonderful with a nice clean and inviting feel to it.
Lyn
We took our two grandchildren for half term, they come home with lots of stories for there parents and asked if we could all go back next year. We all had a fantastic time. The facilities were very good the hot tub was relaxing, fantastic after a walk with the dog. Beautiful sites, excellent accommodation and lovely people. You couldn't ask for mor e!! We will be back. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Gordon
The bed constantly creaked when you moved & the mattress was so uncomfortable, we ended up taking it turns to sleep on the sofa. The shower would not get hot even though we tried to turn it up full. The sauna hot tub and jacuzzi closed at 6pm. Most people like to relax in the evening, after they have been out all-day walking. The only pub or restau rant was closed for two days and only did food on the weekend. Overall it was just a break we needed but just didn't come sold as seen on the website.
Jissy
We had really good time. Its a perfect place for family holiday, its such a scenic place and I am glad we chose Mel's cottages. My son had really good birthday with our close family . All the facilities were perfect including the pool, hottub, sauna. Will definitely go again.

Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 7 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 10 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 11 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 13 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 13 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 14 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park.

Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 14 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
