The owners Mel and George are fantastic hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The cottage is even better than the photos and the property surrounding are simply stunning. We stayed we our our two grown up children and it was so comfortable and homely we loved every bit of it. The only sad thing was leaving and saying goodbye.. if we return from Australia one day we will return to Bellamour without any hesitation. 10 out of 10, absolutely fabulous!

The cottage was so cosy and comfortable. The beds were one of the most comfortable I've stayed in. Home from home and everything you'd need. Tescos about 10 mins away at most and must have dinner at ye old Dunn cow in colton. Would recommend and will likely take mum to stay

Itâs so clean and has the comfiest beds. The whole feel of the place is beautiful, just watching the sunsets or sun rises, saying hi to the very friendly sheep or just chilling with a drink itâs really is a home from home. The cottage is so central to so many places, making it a fantastic base. We highly recommend the cottage and would love to return again.
