Mallard View Reviews

Very peaceful and friendly atmosphere
Nicholas
We had a really good time. The hosts have made some really great places to stay they are clean, tidy and warm underfloor heating with a really good shower and great hot tub. They emailed detailed instructions before our stay, greeted us on arrival and told us about a local brewery on a farm with a nice bar within walking distance which was also excellent. The surrounding area is also beautiful. I would highly recommend.
We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of November 2023. We were met by Diane who was very friendly and explained everything to us. The Pod and Patio was exceptionally clean. The facilities inside were perfect with everything supplied, and the cup cakes left for us was a nice gesture. The Hot tub was very clean and so relaxing. The weather was cold and wet but this didn't matter as we were warm and cosy inside the Pod. We enjoyed the experience and would like to go back sometime in the future.
Doreen
We love it here. Diane is always very welcoming and facilities are very good. An.extr bonus.this time was the very cute alpacas and Ebony let us stroke her another lovely experience. We will be back Doreen and Tony x

Such a lovely stay and Diane couldnt have been more accommodating! Bed was so comfortable and the whole place top to bottom was clean. So welcoming and friendly on arrival and were available for contact when needed. Lovely little cakes made that we had when we arrived. Hot tubs checked each morning and had so much information for us about where to go and stuff to do in the area. Lovely waking up the animals outside each morning so was such a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Left a glass behind as well and they were happy to post it back couldnt ask for anymore! Will be coming back again this year!

Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 12 Miles
Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 18 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 20 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
