Melancroft is such a lovely place to stay . Loved watching the red kites flying above us & going out at night to see the amazing display of stars. The cottage is warm &cosy. Just needs a couple of tweaks like better mattresses &an iron would’ve useful. Apart from that I would recommend to all my friends &family
