• "Booked here for our annual girly work friends trip that we have done the last 3 years."

  Picked due to location not being too far from home and hot tub being an essential requirement. When we arrived it felt so cosy and warm. Very clear guide with instructions etc. Kitchen very well equipped and again loved the open plan layout. Everything seemed to have been thought of like sliders for going to the hot tub and towels especially for the hot tub. Never been anywhere that does that and made a big difference. All in all we had a very relaxing weekend and there was plenty of space. Paula and Brian were so friendly and helpful in the lead up to us arriving and answered any questions promptly. Will definitely return hopefully in the future. Lovely cosy group house for families and chilled out groups.

  Thank you for this review Jessica! You were all fabulous guests and we’re glad you enjoyed your ladies weekend! You’re welcome back whenever you want! Paula & Brian xxx Property Owner

• "We have just spent the most wonderful and relaxing week at The Old Bell Works cottage, and firstly have to send huge thanks to Paula and Brian and their family for creating such a special place."

  From the moment you walk through the front door you get the feeling that you are being embraced by a warm and very comforting giant hug! We loved everything about it, so much so we could easily have moved in permanently! There is so much to love about this property, the decor, the beams, the stone work, the log fire, the very comfortable beds, the hot tub, the very generous and secure garden which our dog loved, and also for any horse lovers like myself you could sometimes spot them in the stable yard just behind the cottage from the open plan living area window. The other special thing about this place is the details, the little felt mice, the toy animals and pumpkins, all dotted around and in some unexpected places, and the beautiful light up tree in the hallway with the animal decorations, the throws (even for the dog too!), the hamper basket, all these touches were so lovely and made it feel so homely. The surroundings are also so peaceful, if you are after a place to be quiet and recharge the batteries this is for you. If anyone is reading through all of the (great) reviews weighing up whether to book or not (like we did!) I would say this to you - Do not hesitate! Get it booked...we are sure you will love it as much as we did! Thank You once again Paula, Brian & Family for an amazing stay ❤️

  Suzanne, Simon & Lola! What a fabulous review! You were fabulous guests and we’re so glad you both enjoyed your time and relaxed in the cottage! We take so much pride in the cottage and do so for it to be enjoyed by fabulous people like you!

• "The facilities were perfect and the garden fabulous with plenty of areas to sit and relax."

  The hot tub was lovely and having robes, towels and shoes provided was a great touch. The walk over the fields and through the maize field to the pub was just the right distance but the terrain not good for those who are unstable on their feet as there is a gate to climb over and a narrow bridge. The Old Bell Works is a beautiful place to stay for 2 and 4 legged visitors…..would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

  We have just returned from spending a week in this gorgeous property and have loved everything about it. It's the most comfortable, homely, cosy, well thought out property by far that we have stayed in. The property owners have quite clearly thought of literally everything to make your stay as home from home as possible. This property allows pets and we feel the need to mention that there was no smell whatsoever or any evidence that dogs have been in the property - amazing. Thank you Paula & Brian for creating this gem, you should be very proud.

  Ah! Thank you both! I messaged you once you’d left, but I’ll say again now … you were amazing guests who left the cottage immaculate; we wouldn’t know anyone had been! Super grateful you chose us and we hope you come again! Lots of love Paula, Brian & boys xxx Property Owner

• "We have stayed in many Sykes Cottages but The Old Bell Works has been the best yet."

  It is well presented and in excellent condition inside and out. The beds are comfortable with cosy matress toppers and crisp white sheets. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for self-catering. Lots of channels on the TV, good WiFi reception, and selection of games available. Covered hot-tub and outdoor seating was great, even in the rain. The owners go the extra mile with small details and clearly care that you have a perfect holiday. Plenty of attractions for all ages within a 20-30 min drive. Highly recommended.

• "The cottage is perfect in every way, beautiful and comfortable."

  In fact the nicest cottage we have ever stopped in over many years. Ideal for a lovely holiday. The owners were accessible and helpful and friendly. There was only one downside for us. The hot tub wasn't available immediately and the temperature was set too low. It was set at 36 and rarely got above 35. The hot tub is the most important part of our holiday to relax, as we have very physical jobs. and we like to enjoy it at least once daily.

  Thank you for your lovely comment Julie. Unfortunately, because the hot tub has to be changed after each guest, it can only reach temperature by early the following morning and we advise this in our welcome message weeks before your arrival. The temperature is set at a recommended 37 degrees and reaches this every time. Although, when being used over the recommended time and the lid open for prolonged periods, the temp will inevitably drop slightly, which is out of our hands. It is a quality hot tub, so soon gets back up to temperature. We’re glad you were able to spend so much time in it and super chuffed you loved the cottage :) Property Owner

• "Absolutely perfect!"

  The most beautiful cottage with everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. I went with my mum, my daughter her partner and my granddaughter Olive and also our two schnauzers! Jess and Ash loved the hot tub, I loved everything but especially the luxurious bedding on my super king size bed, the dogs loved the enormous fully enclosed garden! Such a gem of a find especially with a downstairs bedroom and shower room so ideal for a range of ages ( like us from a 1 year old to 86 year old! ) Perfect location for access to the lakes and the coast too. I would recommend to anyone, perfect hosts with an immaculate property thank you so much.

  Wow! Thank you so so much! That’s is lovely to read! I am absolutely delighted you enjoyed your stay and welcome you and your family back whenever! Paula, Brian, Flo & Maisie XxxxxxxxX Property Owner

  Finished to a very high standard. Lovely peaceful setting. Everything was provided and there was nothing we needed. The owners were lovely and welcoming. We had an amazing stay and would definitely return.

  Thank you for being such lovely first guests! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! You are welcome back anytime! Paula & Brian (& Flo & Maisie)! X Property Owner
