Wonderful location. Amazing house. Owners very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was lovely. Bed was a little small and the roll top bath is really good if you around 5ft.

Lovely stay
Lovely weekend away, enjoyed our stay at the Homestead, Maria and Kevin were fantastic hosts. Melling is very quiet so you will need to drive to a shop/pub, that said we did walk to the pub, 45 mins. Definitely recommend and were made very welcome in their beautiful home.

Wonderful
Kevin & Maria are perfect hosts who provide everything needed for a comfortable & relaxed stay in their home oozing with character. There was a wide choice for breakfast, a hearty meal served in a private dining room. The best B&B experience we’ve had in a long time.

This was a treat! Canopy bed, stone stairway with tapestries, exquisite furniture. I felt like I had entered a Jane Austen novel. Wish I could have spent a week here.

The Homestead
The Homestead, a beautiful B&B with great character. Sits in Melling about 5 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale.
The hosts Kevin snd Maria, couldn't do enough to make our stay as memorable as possible. Kevin dropped us and picked us up from one of the local pubs, that we had booked in for ouf evening meal. Whilst Maria cooked wonderful breakfasts.
Definitely worth a visit, we are looking to book again.
