• "At first sight the property creates a good impression."

  It is well decorated and very clean although there was a strong smell of dog in the lounge which we found to be very unpleasant. Unfortunately the cottage is completely unsuitable for elderly visitors and I will explain why I have arrived at this conclusion. The sofa is unusable as it is too low and has no back support. My wife was unable to extricate herself from its grip without assistance from me. The only practical solution was to move the dining room chairs into the lounge but they are uncomfortable when used for extended periods. While on the subject of the lounge there is a very serious trip hazard in that the broadband hub and trailing wires are located in a narrow corridor between the sofa and the wall. Also the television is far too large for the size of the lounge to the point where it is impossible to view the whole image. With regard to equipment there is no non-slip mat for the bath/shower which made using the shower very dangerous with a high risk of slipping. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush charging point in the bathroom and we were unable to find an adapter plug so we had to buy one. In conclusion our stay was very uncomfortable and we would not stay here again

  Hi Stephen, I’m very sorry you didn’t have a lovely experience , we have had some lovely feedback my number is in the cottage and you never called with any of the above we would of been happy to help. We have checked the cottage and there was no smell of any dog. I would say the couch and tv are personal preference sorry you didn’t like the sofa, we have had guest asking for extra nights and not been able to help with the cottage being fully booked. Also I have had guest contact me to ask where I purchased the sofa so I’m so sorry you didn’t find it comfy. I take a lot of pride ensuring guest have the best experience, so I’m really sorry again.

• "Had a lovely break."

  The cottage is a good standard with a lovely kitchen and bathroom by our standards. TV in two of the three bedrooms (kids rooms) with Sky TV was nice unexpected addition and served us well. Its a very peaceful location which is great for the adults but a little TV time for the kids was useful. We never used the log fire due to the time of year but it would be very cosy during a winter break. The local pub is walking distance and the staff were extremely welcoming and polite. Very attentive to our needs and the burgers were gorgeous. The cottage owner sent us a nice message during our stay to enquire that everything was in order and to contact her if we needed anything. Another nice touch in my opinion. If you are looking for a quiet getaway which is a good standard home from home then I highly recommend.

  Hi Graham, Thank you so much for your lovely review , so happy you had a lovely break at Bella cottage. we love the pub, food is amazing. We hope to welcome you back soon thanks Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage in lovely location."

  Cottage well equipped and very comfortable - owner should be very proud. A couple of little points - a clock might be useful as no time on cooker. A squeegee for the shower/bath/tiles needed for the bathroom. It would have been nice if the grass had been cut for our arrival and the garden furniture cleaned. But overall an excellent stay in a wonderful property, would definitely recommend and return for another stay. Thank you.

• "Really nice cottage, and we enjoyed our stay."

  It was warm and cosy. Our one criticism is that the kitchen only had one sharp knife which seemed inadequate when cooking for a family. Also an extra serving bowl/ oven dish would have been useful.

  Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback I will look at getting more knifes and have got the extra oven dish , thanks. Property Owner

  Spotlessly clean and super modern with a stunning kitchen. Comfortable beds and a great sofa. Maybe it could do with a few mirrors, the only one is in the bathroom.

• "A home from home!"

  We absolutely loved our stay at Bella Cottage. It is in a lovely quiet little village, the cottage is beautifully renovated, spotlessly clean, feels super cosy and has everything you need, and an amazing bath! Such a treat to stay here, and wonderful value for money too. We were less than an hour from areas in the Lakes we wanted to visit (Ullswater, Haweswater), which was ideal. Charlene provided some welcome treats on our arrival and checked-in with us during our stay to make sure everything was OK. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

  Hi Lindsey, What a lovely review and so glad you loved the roll top Bath and log burner Bella cottage is so beautiful. We hope to welcome you back on your next trip to the Lakes. Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage and exceptional decor!"

  Very clean and cosy. Wonderful facilities including the luxury of a full sky package and log burner (enjoyed the roll top bath and complete kitchen too). Lovely quiet area, nice and peaceful. Local to lots of places available to visit - we chose Aira Force Waterfalls for a morning walk with our little pooch and it was a great choice. We would plan a longer stay than 2 nights next time and explore further. Mid-stay check in was appreciated by Charlene. Thank you ☺️ see you again soon X

  ..comfy bed and great shower. We had lovely chilled break. However the sofa was comfortable but very low so for some would be very difficult to get up from. The Reed diffusers everywhere were very overpowering too.

  Hi Sue, Very happy you had a lovely break at Bella cottage. Sorry you didn’t like the diffusers and glad you thought the sofa was comfortable , Most people do love the sofa.

• "Lovely cottage,very clean and well equipped."

  Our one complaint was the sofa in the lounge it was far to large for the room and the most uncomfortable sofa we have ever sat on ,also no coffee or side table to put anything on. We enjoyed our week at Bella cottage but unfortunately on the Tuesday the power went off at 9.15am and didn’t come back on until 6.15 pm this was prearranged ,but the cleaners didn’t leave us the information so we were unprepared. I did leave a voice mail for Mrs Carter the owner but she never got back to me which I found to be quite rude.

  Hi Stephanie, Thankyou for your feedback I will look at getting a coffee table. So sorry you didn’t like the sofa we love it and family and fiends have said they love it. So sorry you didn’t like it. I’m so sorry for you calling me I was at a competition with my daughter that weekend and I had no signal so my phone would have gone straight to answer phone I do apologise. Sykes number is always in the cottage should you need anything , they could have helped with this. So glad otherwise you enjoyed your stay thanks Property Owner

• "The 2 previous guests had commented in the visitors book on the smell from the shower."

  There is obviously a problem with the drain from the bath tub which hasn’t been addressed. The bath tub is not designed/reinforced for a shower overhead and the area you stand in is very “bouncy” leaving you feeling like you’re on a fairground ride! I would not be happy for an overweight/older person to use. Aside from this, the cottage is lovely, exceptionally clean, well equipped and a good base for exploring the area. The smart TV and Sky were an added bonus. It would have been handy to have had more information on activities/walks nearby as we have usually had in previous holiday cottages.

  Hi Johanna, Thankyou so much for your feedback , we have a plumber at the cottage and has fixed the problem ,Thankyou so much. Bella cottage is beautiful and in a perfect location. Sky is a lovely bonus it’s a must Property Owner

• "Really enjoyed our holiday at Bella Cottage, it's a beautiful cottage furnished to a very high standard."

  Based in a lovely village where the locals are very friendly. We only had a couple of very small issues, one was when the grass was cut there was alot of cut grass left on the lawn which got walked into the cottage from the dogs feet & ours (needless to say we did hoover up before we left) and the other issue was the shower. However we would definitely stay at Bella Cottage again.

  Hi Sue, So glad you enjoyed your stay at Bella cottage. Sorry about the grass , will let the gardener know. Bella cottage is so beautiful and the smell in the bathroom has been fixed thanks again for your lovely feedback Property Owner

• "Bella Cottage was a beautiful little cottage, there was everything there that you could use."

  The biscuits and milk were a lovely little welcome and just what was needed after a long drive. It was immaculately clean and we made sure we left it that way as we left. It did go a little cool in the evenings and we didn’t want to start messing with the heating and didn’t take any wood for the fire as there was nowhere that tells you to take some with you. Luckily we had a few blankets with us. Bolton In Appleby is a beautiful peaceful place and we will back again soon.

  Hi Louise, So happy you and your family had a great holiday. I do try my best to make everyone’s stay perfect. Love that you enjoyed the welcome pack it’s a lovely arrival treat. You are welcome to have the hearing on whenever needed. Thanks again Property Owner

  Modern but cosy and very clean. Sky TV a great added extra for over the New Year week. Off road parking and a good sized rear garden. We didn't bring the dog but garden is secure for a dog.

  Bolton is a lovely village and we enjoyed a nice meal at the local pub. We were grateful for the welcome pack which included tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and jams - this was a really nice touch. The cottage was really well equipped with good parking and an enclosed garden (great for our dog) we would highly recommend Bella Cottage.

• "Would have been good to know the location of the key box prior to arrival."

  We had to hunt for it, glad it was still daylight. The heating thermostat appears to be faulty. Shower located in roll-top bath isn't user friendly to tall people. Bath drain emits an unhealthy smell. Sofa is too big for the room and too deep to sit on easily. Misleading when description says all fuel included and yet omits the need to provide own wood for burner.
