Although it was a little on the small side, it contained everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The garden was excellent for our dog (and us!) and it was a brilliant idea to provide throws for the furniture. An extremely relaxing and peaceful location. We hope to return!

We had a wonderful 3 day break at Bellwood. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was clean, tidy and everything was in place ready for our visit. Our dogs loved the garden and guests are welcome to walk their dogs on an adjacent field.We will definitely visit again and have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property to you.
