This was our 2nd visit to Melville. It is comfortable and well equipped. It is looking a little tired in the decoration and some soft furnishings. But this is just an observation and wouldn't stop us staying there again. The parking is a brilliant bonus and the accomodation is very close the the amenities of Bakewell. We had a very nice stay.

We have stayed here many times . Very clean and comfortable. Great location 2 minute walk to centre of Bakewell. Steve the caretaker is very helpful. A shower unit in place of the bath would be helpful. Hope to visit again soon.
