A tastefully furnished cottage arranged over two floors within this holiday accommodation site in the picturesque village of Newton-On-Rawcliffe. Just on the doorstep of the attractive North York Moors National Park, roughly 30 miles north-east of the city of York. Less than 5 miles north of Pickering, you’ll have plenty to do and explore right on your doorstep. Head 3 miles north of the village and you’ll find Cropton Forest, with plenty of great walks available. Travel another 18 miles and you’ll reach the fishing town of Whitby or you can travel there by steam train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, taking in some beautiful moorland scenery on the way. A little further down the coast is Scarborough (23 miles) with its two sandy beaches, amusements and castle.

With an open-plan kitchen/dining area, this three-bedroom haven is ideal for a family trip or gathering with friends. You’ll feel instantly at home. Seek relaxation in the living area which boasts tasteful décor, and lounge on the plush sofas as the wood burner creates a cosy ambience while you browse through the options on the Smart TV. The dining area is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and plan the day’s events at the dining table with seating for six. The kitchen area has everything you need for mealtimes. There are three bedrooms: a twin room on the ground floor and a double and a twin room upstairs. Two bathrooms are available: one with a bath and shower on the ground floor and one on the first floor with a bath and hand-held shower attachment.

This complex has a vast communal garden with well-stocked borders and wildflower patches; strategically placed benches mean you can while away the hours with a good book or just admire your surroundings. There is also a communal pool house with changing facilities and showers; take a dip in the 6m exercise pool and finish off in the sauna and hot tub.

Property and amenities were a little tired, but location was quiet and kids loved the table tennis table and the pool. The jar of sweets on arrival was a fab touch!

The Mallard at mels was excellent, one if the best cottages we have stayed at. Spacious, clean and well equipped. The welcome gift was a lovely touch especially including Easter eggs for the kids as we visited over Easter break. Any contact with the owners was pleasant and friendly, the site is clean tidy and well maintained. Some renovation work wRead moreas clearly underway but was always done so as not to disturb or inconvenience guests, will definitely consider staying again. Hide

A lovely cottage, very well equipped and great to have a log burner. Having the Christmas decorations up was a lovely touch. The owners were very kind and helpful, nothing was a bother and the leisure suite was a real bonus. Amazing location with lots of lovely walks nearby. We would definitely recommend this property to other families.
