    “This was our second stay at Mellows.”

    It is perfect for a family holiday, with everything you could possibly need, including a well-equipped kitchen, enclosed garden, spacious living area and en-suites with every bedroom. The house was clean and fresh on our arrival, and is well-situated in a private lane in the picturesque village of Thorpeness. We will definitely book again. Thank you.

Hard flooring runs throughout the majority of the ground floor with large rugs in the living space and carpet in both bedrooms. Carpeted stairs rise to the first-floor landing. Living/Kitchen/Dining Room An ideal space for congregating with family and friends whatever the weather thanks to a flame effect wood burner for the cooler months and sliding doors giving access to the wooden deck with lawn beyond.
