  • "Beautiful house, with fantastic facilities."

    Cleanliness was a ten out of ten. The hot tub was fantastic and we loved the multi use table, we played games all weekend. The only thing missing was a welcome pack. There were no information about the wifi password and I had to call Sykes for them to contact the owner to find send us the password. It was dealt with quickly and efficiently. There was also no information on what to put into what bin and what to do with dirty laundry. A welcome pack would have alleviated these issues. Overall fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

    Dear Sabrina, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had a fantastic stay and that you enjoyed the house, the hot tub, and the multi-use games table — it’s great to know it added to a fun weekend for you. We’re also really pleased that the cleanliness met such a high standard for you. Thank you as well for your constructive feedback regarding the welcome pack. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the missing Wi-Fi information, bin guidance, and laundry instructions. While we’re glad the Wi-Fi issue was resolved quickly through Sykes, we completely agree that clear, on-site information would have made your arrival smoother. We’ve taken your comments on board and are now putting a comprehensive welcome pack in place to ensure future guests have all the essential information readily available from the moment they arrive. Thank you again for your kind recommendation — it truly means a lot to us. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Warm regards, Jude Property Owner

  • "A great hot tub."

    Many thanks to the manager who visited on our first evening was able to get this operational. The property also had a great garden and lots of parking spaces. There were lots of fresh towels and a great welcome pack. The kitchen area was large but did lack many utensils such as mixing bowls, sieves, wooden spoons and no air fryer. The house was quite cold (15 degrees on our final morning) and there was no obvious way to turn the heating up. I think as the downstairs living area was open plan and with lots of windows the problem was further exacerbated. Having only two bathrooms, with one adjoining the kitchen was a challenge when accommodating 10 people. The original part of the house would benefit from being redecorated and the downstairs bathroom needs something to prevent items going down the sink hole.

    Dear Helen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the hot tub, garden, parking, fresh towels, and welcome pack, and that our manager was able to assist you promptly on your first evening. We appreciate your constructive comments regarding the kitchen equipment, heating, and layout of the bathrooms. Your feedback has been noted and will help guide improvements, including adding essential utensils and clearer heating instructions. Thank you again for your valuable comments, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Jude Property Owner

The property

Mellbreak is a delightful house resting in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, offering a welcoming base for families and friends.

With views across the local golf club and a generous garden for outdoor relaxation, this property is ideal for families and friends seeking a peaceful escape with plenty of space to unwind.

As you arrive, the property makes a striking first impression.

The sweeping driveway leads to a beautiful 1920s home, its elegant façade standing proudly behind a neat patio that frames the front door.

Step inside, and the hallway greets you with rustic wooden flooring and a bright, airy feel.

Picture rails and coving add character, while elegant furnishings hint at the home’s heritage and sunlight streams through the bay windows, framing the garden.

The kitchen is a true centrepiece, where bespoke oak-fronted units meet cool granite worktops in a space designed for both creativity and conversation.

A generous island with stools offers a perch for morning coffee, while tiled flooring underlines its practical elegance.

Nearby, a larger dining table sits close to patio doors, ready for gatherings that spill into the garden when the weather calls.

In this property you will find two super-king size bedrooms and three double bedrooms.

The master bedroom exudes timeless appeal, its ornamental fireplace adding a touch of romance to the space.

Another bedroom offers a walk-in wardrobe and sweeping views over the generous lawn and, beyond its leafy boundary of shrubs, the golf course that lends this home its enviable setting.

Each room carries the hallmarks of period style, from picture rails to cast iron radiators, blending heritage with comfort.

Step outside to the rear garden and you’ll find a wide expanse of lawn edged with mature shrubs, a haven for alfresco dining or quiet reflection.

Beyond the garden, the golf course stretches out, a private backdrop that enhances the sense of space and exclusivity.

When it’s time to explore, the surrounding area offers experiences that linger long in memory.

Spend a day at Twycross Zoo, where you can wander through lush habitats, watch playful primates swing overhead, and marvel at the grace of big cats in their expansive enclosures.

For a taste of history, head to Calke Abbey, a stately home steeped in stories, where faded grandeur meets secret gardens and woodland walks that feel like stepping back in time.

Or embrace the thrill of speed at Donington Park, where the roar of engines and the scent of rubber create an atmosphere charged with excitement, whether you’re watching a race or exploring the motorsport museum.

Mellbreak is more than a property; it’s an opportunity to craft a lifestyle defined by space, character, and connection to one of Leicestershire’s most desirable addresses.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £650.
