  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.

  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!

  We had a super week at Curlew Barn.

  The property is very comfortable and well equipped. Friendly and helpful owners there to welcome us. They provided very useful information on the local area. We loved the hot tub - beautiful view from the garden. Lots to do nearby. We did lots of walking at the nearby manifold way, near Barlestone, and at the Tittesworth reservoir. We also visited some great places within an easy drive, namely Shugborough Hall, Kedleston hall, Trentham Gardens and Chatsworth. Handy supermarket a few miles away in Leek and M&S food just a few minutes away in Ashbourne. The Bangladeshi restaurant within walking distance receives great, well-deserved, reviews - we are there twice! Will definitely return. This is a very under-rated area with beautiful walking and plenty to entertain visitors.

  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.

  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).
