  • "A really relaxing stay in a simply beautiful cottage."

    Absolutely everything that you could need is provided. Bed really comfortable ensuring a great night's sleep. Mel and George the owners live next door with their family and animals and in addition to being very friendly and open are quick to check everything is in order without being in the least intrusive. Unfortunately due to ill health we had to leave a day early and in the rush, my wife forgot a pair of trainers. A quick call to George the next day and they are in the post. Outstanding service. We heartily recommend Bluebell Cottage.

  • "Amazing property and very welcoming host."

    The property was clean and tidy. The host was super welcoming and even gave us some chillies from her farm. We were supposed to visit nearby towns but ended up staying in the property whole day as it had board games and netflix. Keep up the good work and recommend this property a 5 star.

    The cottage itself was tastefully decorated, the kitchen was outstanding. Everything we needed had been provided and the hospitality was outstanding. Mel welcomed us and checked in to see how we were getting on. The garden with the chiminea was just what we needed after a busy day of walking. Check in was straight forward and the property easy to locate. It was our first holiday as a new family and we had all that we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay, I'm sure we will be back.

    The welcome pack including fresh eggs from their hens was really appreciated. The facilities are excellent and the little things above and beyond such as dishwasher soap, laundry tablets and hand soap. Nothing was too much trouble and Mel checked in regularly to make sure we had everything and we're enjoying our stay. The hosts recommendations for local amenities were excellent and we would like to thank them for their support when we had car trouble. It's the best cottage we have stayed in over the years. THANKYOU.

There is excellent secure parking and the surrounding gardens have seating areas, bird feeders and in season - bluebells !!

  • "Having stayed at Bellamour (the cottage next door) previously we expected that Bluebell cottage would be furnished and equipped to a high standard and we were not disappointed."

    Mel and George have done a fantastic job with this lovely property, old world charm but with all the modern day comforts. Mel goes out of her way to make sure everything is catered for from the welcome pack to the Christmas decorations which made it feel like a real from home during the festive period. The kitchen is very well equipped and the two living rooms have log fires which provide a lovely atmosphere. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the bathroom is simply amazing. We were in the Midlands to visit family but if anyone was looking for a base from which to explore the local area I would strongly recommend this beautiful property.

    The owners are warm and friendly, but with a professional approach and high standards. The cottage is extremely well-equipped, the beds are super comfortable, and a bath in the luxurious bathroom is such a treat! Mel was on hand with good advice, and we had a lovely meal in the village pub. Hope we will come back and car charging (which is planned) will be another bonus.

    One of the best cottages we have stayed in. The owners have thought of absolutely everything you would need. Fully equipped kitchen. Having washer/dryer was a added bonus!

Mel & her family made us feel extremely welcome. They are all very knowledgeable to the local area for visitors, including eating places. We had an amazing evening in the Olde Dun Cow pub.
