"Mel and wren were great hosts."
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

"We had a lovely relaxing week at this cottage after a tough year; helpful and friendly owners, well equipped cottage with everything we could possibly need."
-
"We have just had the best week staying here at Bellamour End Cottage, it’s so beautifully decorated with everything you could need."
It’s 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 it’s 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.

"A fabulous relaxing place to stay for us and our 2 boys (aged 2 and 3)."
So impressed with the very well equipped large cottage (even providing children’s cutlery and plates, bed guard, cot, high chair, toys and teddies!). It was comfortable with lovely views, and the added bonus of a large area for the boys to run around whilst watching the sheep and chickens. It really is a home from home setting and you will want for nothing. Location is spot on to explore the big tourist attractions of Alton towers and Drayton manor, both around 30-40 minutes away. Big thanks to owner Melanie who was so welcoming and all the little things she thought of to make our stay special. The attention to detail, especially for guests with young children, was so thoughtful and like nowhere else we have been, where children are often treated as either not welcome or a burden. The fact you had actively thought about your young guests and included them in catering for their needs was so lovely and refreshing. It really made our little family feel valued and welcomed as guests. Thank you!

"Fantastic friendly welcome from Mel and George - cottage was lovely and homely."
We wanted for nothing - kitchen well equipped.
-
"Cottage and settings exceeded expectations."
Mel and George welcoming and most helpful. We appreciated the welcome basket especially as arriving on a Sunday. Lovely historic village. Enjoyed 2 ready meals and 3 meals in from Ye olde Dunn Cow during our week’s stay.
-
"Beautiful cottage, peaceful and pretty spot."
Very well maintained and serviced. Wonderful to make use of the outside seating in the spring evening sunshine. Pleasure to stay and perfect for our girls weekend away.

"Bellamour End Cottage is a beautiful holiday home in a quiet location, but not too far from a local village with a small shop and 2 pubs."
It is on a smallholding with some child friendly farm animals. There are walks directly from the cottage, as well as it being very near to Cannock Chase which offers lots of walking opportunities. It is ideally located for visiting Staffordshire towns, such as Stafford, Lichfield, Tamworth etc. Cannock Town Centre is itself worth a short visit - especially on market day. Shugborough Hall (NT) is about 10 minutes away by care and it is less than half an hour to the National Memorial Arboretum. At the end of the day, the cottage is homely and welcoming to return to, with a well equipped kitchen to meet all self catering needs. The owners live in a house a few yards away and are helpful if needed, whilst not being intrusive. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

"Amazing property and amazing hosts, can’t recommend it enough, tucked away in the countryside , and accessible to local towns and Cannock chase ."
Would love to return some day.

"Bellamour End is a beautiful property to stay in."
Mel and George have thought of everything and this makes the cottage a proper home from home. The welcome basket is a great idea, and the promise of fresh egg's during the week is lovely. The property is centrally located between Stafford and Litchfield but yet you feel in the middle of country. Suggestions of places to visit from Mel's parents and a tractor lesson from George made our break in Staffordshire personal and relaxing. We will return to Bellamour and will also recommend it to friends and family. Thank you.

"This cottage is really well located for visiting lots of attractions in the area, there is plenty to do with children."
The cottage had everything we could have needed, it was very clean and comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable! Mel and her family are so friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome.
-
"Absolutely brilliant would definitely recommend and be back no questions asked."
Very welcoming home from home, Mel was great and always on hand making sure that we were all fine. Nice surprise bread,eggs,jam etc. left for us on arrival. Go pick your own eggs from farm and don't forget to see the very friendly sheep
-
"A lovely, comfortable cottage in a countryside setting, although great access to surrounding areas."
We enjoyed visiting the local places of interest or just relaxing watching the owner's chickens! Owners Mel and George very friendly and accommodating.
Thanks for your kind words Karen. it was a pleasure having you here! George and Mel. Property Owner
-
"Cottage was fantastic."
Well equipped with everything we needed and outstanding outdoors space. The Lego and kids toys were a really great bonus and we especially enjoyed eating on in the patio in the evening. Mel is a great host as well, very helpful and friendly.
-
"We had such a wonderful stay at the cottage."
Mel and family were so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. Mel and Wren were amazing with our 2 young daughters, letting them feed the sheep, chickens, and ducks, and allowing them to collect the eggs each day. Our girls absolutely loved it and now want to live on a farm! The cottage was just beautiful, so clean, and with everything you would need including children’s cutlery, toys and games. The location is great, so much to see and do in the area. We will definitely be returning in the future and have already recommended to family and friends!
Thanks Abigail. It was lovely to have you all here. So glad the girls enjoyed the animals. Many thanks again, george and Mel. Property Owner
-
"The property was beautifully presented and, as stated, the kitchen contains everything you could want."
Loads of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. unlike others we have used in the past. The property is conveniently situated for Lichfield, The Memorial Arboretum and Shugborough Hall to name but a few. Would highly recommend it to anybody looking to visit that area.
Thank you for your kind words John. Glad the cottage lived uptown your expectations. George and Mel. Property Owner

"Mel and George are wonderful hosts."
The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped (particularly the kitchen, but it was also helpful to have a range of children’s toys). The cottage is well maintained and very clean. We felt very at home during our stay. Outside the cottage we enjoyed feeding the sheep and meeting the new lambs. George kindly allowed us to try his vintage tractor, which was greatly enjoyed by all the family. We hope to return.
-
"We just had a wonderful 2 night stay at the cottage."
It was like a home from home, with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was the most well equipped one in any holiday home we have stayed on. The sofas were comfy and the living room cosy with the logburner. The beds were very comfy too and the shower lovely and powerful. Really great for our kids too with lots of toys provided, a huge garden to run around in and lots of animals to see. Mel, the owner who lives next door, was welcoming and friendly and we would definitely return. The only teeny downside is its next to a road and there were some loud cars going past occasionally, so it's not completely peaceful (obviously this isn't a fault of the owners, just something to think about if you want complete peace and quiet).
Thanks Vanessa. So glad you had a good time. George and Mel. Property Owner
-
"A lovely unique cottage, with a very welcoming charm."
Mel was a fabulous host and had equipped the cottage beautifully. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy the surrounding area.
Thank you Laura. We enjoyed meeting you both and chatting on the yard, and are glad that you made the most of the area. Mel and George Property Owner

"This was our second visit to Bellamour, one of our favourite cottages and one which provides the gold standard against which we judge other properties."
There is nothing to fault. The owners, Mel and George are so welcoming and ensure everything is as it should be. They give freely of their time if any issues should arise such as how to manage the heating. The property is very comfortable throughout and is well decorated. Colton village is a short walk away and Rugeley railway station is a short drive away. The area is great for walking from canals to Cannock Chase and a good local bus service means areas are accessible for a walk and a drink. We’re already planning our third visit for 2024. Great cottage, great location and great hosts.
Thank you so much Gaynor! It was lovely to see you both again. Thank you for your kind words, we hope that people can see how much we love it here and feel that they get to share in our own little bit of heaven. Your comments certainly seem to reflect that. We hope to see you again at some point! Mel and George. Property Owner

"A very thoughtfully furnished and decorated cottage."
It was very quiet and had views over farmland. It was lovely and warm and everything (and more) was provided including all manner of cooking utensils, decorative elements and clever organisation ideas. The beds were extremely comfortable and I slept like a log every night, which is not usually the case when in a strange bed. Mel the owner was a fabulous and friendly host. Very kind, and also knowledgeable about the local area which was useful. Myself and my sisters would have no hesitation in recommending Bellamour End Cottage.
It was an absolute pleasure to have you lovely ladies here! thank you for coming to stay with us. Mel and George. Property Owner
-
"Excellent cottage for exploring surrounding area."
Very comfy lounge furniture and beds Lovely owners
Thank you Angela. we're glad you had a nice time! Mel and George. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage."
Everything we needed was there and the wood burning stove made the evenings very cosy. Mel and George were lovely hosts and the welcome pack was very enjoyable!
You are very welcome Helena! Thanks for coming to stay with us. Mel and George. Property Owner

"Beautiful, cosy cottage."
A lovely, warm welcome from Mel. It was great for a festive break with friends, we did a Christmas wreath making workshop with Mel too! The cottage is really well equipped and very comfy. A small hand basin in the loo (or a downstairs facility) would have made it perfect and helped with the morning bathroom queue!! Overall we had a very relaxing stay, and would come back again to explore the area some more.
Hi Lisa, it was lovely to have you all here and Kate made a really beautiful wreath! Thanks for your comments about the bathroom facilities. We would love to add to them at some point in the future. It would be great to see you again if you find yourselves in the area. Thanks again, Mel. Property Owner

"We had a great time at Bellamour End Cottage even though the weather wasn’t very kind to us."
The cottage is so inviting, cosy, warm and relaxing with everything any family could possibly want. Good quality furniture, fittings and really comfortable beds and bedding. Melanie made us feel as though we were at home right from the start with her warm and friendly ‘glow’. Nothing was too much trouble, everything had to be right for us. This is one place we are looking forward to visit again.
Thank you for your kind comments John. We enjoyed having you here and it was lovely to see your family again! Alex did a great job driving the tractor too! Thanks again for booking to stay with us, Mel and George. Property Owner

"The Cottage is gorgeous!"
Lots of local attractions within a half hr drive. Lots of info about the local area / things to do are provided. Beds were incredibly comfy. Kitchen well equipped; bread, jam, fresh eggs and oil provided. Melanie is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. They have two friendly whippets on site and the chickens roam freely. I would highly recommend this stay!
Thank you Cara. We're glad you had a nice time and that the weather was kind to you too! It was a pleasure to have you all here. Thank you again, Mel and George. Property Owner

"This has to be the best holiday let I have ever stayed in ."
Definitely be going back . Hosts friendly and welcoming
Thanks Peter, that is so kind of you! It was a pleasure having you here. My only regret is that the chickens just couldn't lay fast enough for you! Many thanks again, Mel and George. Property Owner

"We’ve just returned from another wonderful stay at Bellamour End Cottage."
Everything was perfect and we had a fantastic time. So much to do within the area and the cottage is very well equipped. Can’t wait to visit again in the future!
Thanks Jodie. We really enjoyed seeing you all again and Willow has grown so much! Thanks again for your kind comments. Kindest regards, Mel. Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay at Bellamour End Cottage."
The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. Our host Mel was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We've never stayed in Staffordshire always by-passing it on the M6. It's well worth a visit, our highlights being visits to Lichfield, Shugborough Estate, walks in Cannock Chase, Keddleston Hall and a couple of days in Birmingham with the great rail link at nearby Rugeley. There are also two good pubs within walking distance in nearby Colton. All-in-all a great stay.
Thank you Terry! It was lovely to meet you both and we're glad you had a great stay! You certainly made the most of the area. Kindest regards, Mel. Property Owner
-
"I want to move here permanently!"
This was a very special holiday for us as our daughter got married the week we were there, she left with us from the cottage and it was amazing. Mel was so helpful, from advisor to photographer, she is the perfect host. The cottage, the grounds, the hosts and the facilities are wonderful.
-
"Wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage."
Very clean and comfortable. We stayed as five adults and there was plently of space to relax watching the TV, cooking and eating. The cottage is close to the train stations (Rugeley Trent Valley 5 mins away or Stafford) so conveniently placed for us. The hosts are delightful and very friendly, Mel and George made sure we had what we needed! Thanks for a great stay.
Thanks so much Amy. It was absolutely our pleasure and we were only too glad to help. Kindest regards, Mel. Property Owner

"The owner was friendly and welcoming."
A traditional cottage but not as light and airy as it appears in the photos, therefore would not have been our first choice. The location is ideal for visiting Cannock Chase and other places of interest in Staffordshire.
-
"Beautiful house, comfy beds, kitchen really well equipped, and house so well furnished."
Everything we could need. And owner helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.
-
"Very friendly and helpful owners."
A lovely cottage from which to explore Cannock Chase and other attractions in Staffordshire. The animals at the farm are delightful to watch.
-
"This was our third stay at Bellamour and everything was spot on as usual."
Mel and her family are always welcoming and on hand if any advice is required. We have family in the area and this is so much nicer than staying at a hotel, more homely and comfortable. A great spot to base a visit to the Midlands and Peak District.
-
"Bellamour End Cottage was perfect for us and in the ideal location."
The cottage had every amenity that we could wish for and was spotlessly clean throughout. Everything was extremely comfortable and we felt totally relaxed throughout our stay. On arrival we were made very welcome by Mel, who was the most friendly and obliging of hostesses. The welcome basket including fresh laid eggs, homemade marmalade and sourdough bread was the icing on the cake! We would have no hesitation in returning here again should the occasion arise. Thank you Mel for your most kind hospitality.
-
"Great Cottage in the perfect location."
Everything in the cottage you would need for your stay. Cleanliness impecable. Would certainly stay again.
-
"Lovely cottage and lovely owners!"
Clean, homely and comfy, lots of books and games provided for entertainment. But of course, the big draw for our family of townies was collecting eggs from the chickens and feeding the very friendly sheep! The owners were very kind and helpful, telling us about walks we could do and some places of local interest, like the book exchange and excellent playground. Really enjoyed our weekend Chez Bellamour, the kids loved it and being in such a cosy place in the country was just the winter getaway we needed.
-
"What a beautiful stay at Bellamour."
I honestly can’t recommend this cottage enough. There is nothing the cottage doesn’t have, it’s exceptionally comfortable and has such a relaxed atmosphere. We wished we could have stayed longer. Mel and her family were so lovely and where on hand if you needed anything. It was a really great start to our 2022 holidays. And we will definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this cottage you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a great stay, we will see you again very soon. Jen

"We had a fabulous few days in this very well appointed cottage."
Nothing was too much for the owners and we were made to feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again.
-
"Excellent cottage, really comfortable, clean and well equipped."
Beautiful location on the edge of Rugeley with a local pub and railway station within walking distance. Mel and her family are great, really helpful and kind. What’s not to enjoy in this lovely cottage, with owls hooting at night, free range eggs and chickens scratching outside. Plus Cannock Chase on the doorstep. PS for those of us who need a comfortable bed, these were very comfortable. One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in and we will be back.
-
"An excellent cottage with great facilities that provides a superb base for exploring the area."
Mel and her family are the epitome of customer service and are close by if any advice is needed or issues arise. This was our second stay at the property and we will certainly return.
-
"The owners live on site and are delightful people."
They left a fabulous welcome pack, and advised us of places to go, and best places to eat. A home away from home.
-
"Very clean and well-presented property."
We were made to feel very welcome and received a personal email on booking. The children were delighted that the owner included them in tasks such as collecting eggs and they enjoyed the outdoor space too. Thank you! Thoroughly recommend!
-
"The place is absolutely faultless."
We stayed here with our 2 boys, they loved every minute. The chickens, the pond the trampoline, the huge amount of space to run around and play. Mel is fabulous, we loved her. She has the place perfectly kitted out, really clean, great sized property with book, games and everything you could possibly need. We loved it and we highly recommend it!!! We’ll definitely be returning :-)
-
"Excellent Hosts, We would highly recommend others, to make a booking, especially if you are looking for a very relaxing holiday."
Perfect Location for visiting Lichfield Cathedral (must) and ideally if country walks is your perfect break
-
"What a fantastic holiday cottage!"
Exceeded all expectations. Mel is a wonderful host and made us feel extremely welcome. Lovely area to stay to see the myriad of attractions in the area.
-
"We have just returned from a fantastic week away at Bellamour End Cottage."
The property was beautiful and we could not have asked for better hosts. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do and the facilities at the property ensured we had a comfortable rest each evening after a busy day. We are already planning our next trip!
-
"We had an amazing stay at Bellamour End Cottage."
Mel and her family could not have been more welcoming. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location with amazing hosts.

.. Thumbs up from the Reeves...

"Lovely place to stay."
Melanie and family really went the extra mile and made us feel very welcome with homemade goodies to arrive to. Cottage was wonderful. Cosy and well-kitted out and extra precautions were made because of COVID. Our little girls got to feed the chickens and play on the trampoline which was another bonus we weren't expecting. And the hens' eggs are delicious! Will definitely stay again when we are next in the area visiting.
-
"The cottage was beautiful, and so well-equipped."
There was a lovely cosy feel, with the log burner already set for us, and beautifully decorated, comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen had everything you could need to cater for a family, and the information folder gave great recommendations for local eateries and takeaways so we didn’t always have to. There were even toys and tableware for the kids. Our host could not have been more welcoming - from the delicious home baked bread and farm produced eggs and honey left for us on our arrival, to letting our son feed the chickens and collect the eggs. This is the first time we have been on this type of holiday, and we will definitely be back.
-
"What a beautiful place to stay for a week of full relaxation."
The cottage itself was warm and welcoming with a lovely log fire in the front room to give it that country home feeling. Nothing was lacking on the appliance front,, Cooker, induction hob,dish washer, washing machine, air flow fridge freezer., coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave, TV in every room. Every room in the cottage was beautifully and tastefully decorated to a extremely high standard. The beds in the bedrooms are so so comfortable with memory foam mattress,, Our host's George and mel could not have been any more helpful and welcoming, On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find a welcome present of a home made loaf
-
"I could rave about Bellamour cottage all day."
In fact we joked about leaving a terrible review so they we could keep this little gem a secret from the wider world!! It's a perfect cottage in a beautiful location. Tastefully furnished with lots of extra touches to make our stay even more memorable. The log burner was set, ready to be lit, fresh milk in the fridge for a cuppa and other delicious treats were left for us, by Melanie the super friendly and helpful host. It's perfect for couples and families and there is plenty to do in the local area, even in lockdown. We cycled, walked and ate out, it was a well needed break from 'normal life'!! We will definitely return.
-
"Beatifully turned out and well kept home from home family run cottage with wonderful grounds to relax in."
We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. Melanie is a wonderful host and full of information. Ideally located to explore Cannock Chase and surrounding attractions. Pub within walking distance (20 mins) serving great food and ales. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend Bellamour End Cottage. Looking forward to going back soon. Cheryl & Chris, East Yorkshire

"Excellent property with very good facilities, the owners were always on hand with advice and information which was very impressive as they were actually away on holiday themselves when we visited."
Will definitely revisit as this cottage is an excellent base for us to visit family in the Midlands. Very clean and comfortable with great facilities, good WiFi and TV for the kids if the rain appears. A cosy cottage, the log burner is great if the temperature drops and the kitchen has everything you can think of for self catering. Bedrooms are well furnished with very comfortable beds, we slept very well indeed.

"Our stay at Bellamour cottages was fabulous!"
The cottage is beautifully decorated has everything you need and is definitely a home from home. We were welcomed with homemade bread, eggs laid by their chickens and honey from their bees which were all so lovely.

We will definitely book to stay again and our children want to go back too as they too enjoyed their stay at the cottage.
-
"We had a wonderful time especially the children who had the time of their lives."
So much to do (animals, trampoline, toys, bike track etc etc. Melanie was a wonderful attentive host full of information. Cottage was so homely. Blessed with brilliant weather so so bbq was a perfect end to a great days outing (thomasland at Drayton manor). Thoroughly recommend and hope to get back soon!!

-
"Bellamour cottage is beautiful and well equipped with an amazing outdoor space to explore and enjoy."
Mel and her family go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and that your stay is an enjoyable and special occasion. We loved every minute of our time at Bellamour cottage, especially meeting all the friendly animal residents. It’s the perfect ‘home from home’ and we can not wait to revisit again in future.
-
"We (a three-generation family) had a most wonderful stay at Bellamour End Cottage last week."
Given the difficult circumstances of the current uncertain times, we, understandably, had some concerns about travelling anywhere but we needed to have no worries - the minute we arrived Mel was there to greet us in person. What a great welcome - Mel's whole family were involved in the preparation - George baked the bread, Wren gathered the eggs from the free-range chickens and ducks, Ted provided the firewood and the bees provided the honey. By the time we left we felt part of this lovely family - including the grandparents! Mel is such a super lady and a super host. She strikes that difficult balance of ensuring we had everything we could possibly need throughout the visit and the recognition of letting us just get on with whatever we chose to do. The cottage is top notch - pristine, warm, welcoming and so well-equipped. Mel's attention to detail assured the most relaxing break, proving beyond doubt that a 'staycation' is the way to go! Having never visited this area before, there was little or no need to pre-research places to visit, eat etc. All Mel's files and recommendations had been updated with the latest Covid-19 information regarding openings, routines, deliveries for take-outs etc - thank you for recommending the local Chinese - first rate-cuisine was delivered fresh, on time and roasting hot!! Mel - your (and Wren's) kindness and patience with the children went above and beyond the norm - such a wonderful experience for them and fond memories to take home. I would unreservedly recommend Bellamour - it is what it says on the tin - a beloved place.
-
"We had a brilliant stay at Bellamour Cottage."
The cottage was beautiful and really comfortable, with lots of lovely touches to make our stay perfect, including a box of toys which our four year old loved and fresh bread, eggs and honey on arrival. Our host Mel was really friendly and introduced us and the children to the chickens, ducklings and a very sociable turkey! There was loads to do in the surrounding area and the guest pack was really helpful in identifying days out and takeaways nearby. We really hope to stay at Bellamour again soon!
