Mallard Reviews

Overall it was a great holiday with really good facilities on the site. The little shop and cafe at the entrance were brilliant. Our teenage boys enjoyed the games room, hot tub and the visit to see the cows on the farm being milked. There were a few niggly faults, such as a shower that was more like a tap or a towel rail that didnt work. Other than that the place was clean and well stocked with everything we could need.
Lovely family holiday at Mallard Barn! Great facilities for the kids, stunned accommodation and lovely little farm shop! The hostess Jo was Always available and responds very quickly and very accommodating! Could highly recommend!
