"This property was just as we expected from all the literature we had read."
No nasty surprises. Very comfortable seating, and plenty of it. Beds and bedding lovely. Very well equipped kitchen, not everywhere provides sharp knives!! We appreciated the welcome gifts and the fire made a very cosy atmosphere considering it was freezing outside. The only slight problem, and this cannot be changed, was the space in the kitchen when tidying up after a meal...and this is me being pernickety. A wonderful place to stay.

"House is perfect, so much space, lovely enclosed garden- perfect for kids!"
Every bedroom has a bathroom which was such a bonus. 2 seconds from everything in Thorpeness, easy parking and easy to find.
They phoned us and said we could access the property early, this was amazing because my only constructive feedback is 4pm is too late for standard check in, especially when it’s 10am checkout. We are not in covid times anymore and 4 is so late when you have kids. My friends and family do normally now try and opt for places that have returned the check on and out times back to 3 and 10.

"We stay in many self-catering accommodations and Mellows is right at the top for cleanliness, equipment and comfort."
Lovely secure garden and the house is situated a few hundreds yards from the House in the Clouds.
The owners have gone out of their way to furnish and equip to a high standard.
We would highly recommend the Mellows.

"This is a beautiful and well equipped house."
Lots of space and a wonderful light and large open living space for a large family or group of friends to holiday together. It also has a lovely enclosed garden for children or a dog to safely use. It’s in a quiet location (very dark at night so take a torch) but within a very short walk of both a great pub and 2 cafes.
We had a great short break here and would thoroughly recommend.

"We've stayed at Mellows several times now, twice this year, and have found it to be the perfect home from home, big enough for reunions plus being an excellent location for golfers."
A lamp repair was speedily performed on our arrival. A very comfortable house.

"We had a fabulous stay at Mellows, 6 of us plus the dog."
The property was just as described. Loved the open plan design which meant that we could all spend time together. Garden was great for the dog and it was easy to walk to the beach, pub, and the boating lake. Great location for days out to Dunwich, Southwold and Aldeburgh. Loved it.

Mellows was welcoming and comfortable ( wine and cake gifted to us is always a good start) with good facilities. We loved the house and would recommend it to anyone looking for a space for a group get-together. Thank you!

"Stunning property with so much space and comfort."
We felt at home the minute we walked through the door. Lovely open plan living area with multiple seating options so space for everyone. The bedrooms are all big and the beds themselves are massive and so comfortable.
The location was fabulously peaceful with so many walks in every direction. Would recommend the Mellows to anyone who wants a relaxing stay in a stylish property.

"Really enjoyed our stay."
Welcome wine and cake were appreciated. House was pretty clean (just bedding could have been a little cleaner, specially duvets/mattresses when saw them when removing sheets). Well equipped kitchen and good kitchenware. Could have just used a small baking tray. Bathrooms had good functioning showers etc too. We enjoyed the open plan area and everyone could find a comfy place to sit. Beds were nice and soft and all slept well. We found the front bedroom would get a bit chilly and the rear bedroom quite warm, due to position of the sun, even with one radiator off and the other on max. Just minor points to mention as we had a great stay and can see us hopefully returning in the future. Worked well for 3 generations ranging in age from 7 months to 70 years. Lovely location and handy for exploring the local area.
