Book Melling Bed & Breakfast

"Very clean room and the staff were great and very helpful without being intrusive. We had the continental breakfast which was great and plentiful choice. We used the spa daily, the pool was like stepping into a bath it was so warm and we enjoyed the sauna and steam room. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a quiet relaxing break, we took the boat to Ambleside and back and the girls in the kiosk who were very informative and pleasant. The hotel is on flat land with lots of space for walking or sitting out and having drinks hot or cold. Suitable for those of us who have mobility problems. Two lifts are available but there is a bit of a journey to reach them as they are situated in the new part of the hotel but, can’t be helped as it would have ruined the grand style if they tried to pit them near the reception Parking outside is chargeable to a separate company. Blue badge holders can park free if a token is obtained from the hotel and all others must park 400 yards further away with a token but can unload in a space outside the hotel."

"The check in was slow as no staff were about and had to wait for a while. However staff were welcoming and helpful and approachable. The room itself was basic but met the requirements for us. It was quite hot at night and the curtains didn’t do their job very well resulting in our daughter waking at 5.30am. The towels were of a reasonable standard but could do with being replaced. The room was facing onto a main road so traffic noise the next morning was noticeable and woke us up. Breakfast was limited but cooked breakfast was nice choice and came quickly and hot. "

"This was my second time staying here. And I have to say the first time (September '25) was great and I felt that I had found a good hotel that I can use regularly when I come visit my daughter in University. First time around 5 stars, staff food excellent This time around the staff were just down right rude and didn't care, one evening I had to get my key fob reset and it took almost 20 for this very rude gentleman to come from out the back to reset my card. The chef also has changed because the food we got and my steak was some of the worst ever and the fries I had with the steak were still uncooked inside not to mention that it also took an absolute age to get served, and in fact it took that long I had to go to the cashier at the till to give him my order. Also please people dont waste your time getting the meal included with your room its a waste of money, you have a separate food menu and theres nothing on it worth eating so as I done i just paid for the main menu meal. All things considered and I stay in hotels quite a lot I was glad to get checked out only to get home and receive 5 yes 5 parking tickets now they each came at separate times so when I got the fifth one I didn't care anymore I just felt you can have my money.... (the other 4 I sent to the hotel and they squashed them). But all that aside, the rooms were very nice and the hotel was quite modern too and the breakfast I would give it 2 stars."
