Belle’s View Reviews

Nicola
The love that has gone into this place by the owners is palpable, a charming abode in a beautiful location. We had a very enjoyable short break during Oct half term Scarefest at Alton Towers, cosy films indoors, the hot tub under the stars, outlet shopping nearby and a walk to the pub. What's not to love!
A lovely, cosy hideaway. A.great place to get away from the hustle bustle and relax in the countryside. Located close to many tourist attractions makes it the perfect base and the hot tub is an added bonus. The Pod itself is surprisingly spacious. Decor and cleanliness is immaculate and we had such a brilliant break.

Our stay was perfect Micheal and Lee there if we needed anything this place is a must a little gem the view is to die for . And our place was perfect every thing you need . So happy we found it and will be returning . Teresa & Pete
Belles view is an amazing pod. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown around. The pod was immaculately clean and tidy and very well equipped. As a family of 3, we found the pod to be surprisingly spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus and we really enjoyed a dip after a long day out and about. The location is excellent, so much on the doorstep and beyond. It was a great base for what we wanted to see. The owners have done an amazing job at making Belles View a warm, comfortable place. Its very well cared for. They both were so very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend. We already look forward to coming back!
We have just had the most gorgeous stay at Belle's View. The pod was so clean and has everything you need, with an added touch of a bottle of prosecco, milk and fresh eggs from the farm. Michael and Lee were brilliant hosts, they can't do enough for you. We loved spending time in the hot tub watching the farm animals, it was so lovely to see how happy the animals are here. As a zoologist our holidays are always focused around animals so this was the perfect spot. We visited Trentham Monkey Forest, Peak Wildlife Park and Gentleshaw Wildlife Centre, all of these are only a 20 minute drive from the pod. There are some really nice places for food nearby, and The Goldfish Bowl does a lovely fish and chips. We absolutely loved our stay here and we can't wait to come back.
This place is lovely. It was exactly what we wanted and more. The owners were absolutely amazing they were always there if we needed anything and they allowed us to look around all their animals which for our group was amazing as we are all animals lovers. I would definitely stay again and I will suggest this place to anyone looking for a girls weekend or a family weekend or even just a weekend getaway as its surrounded by county side and so meany activities makings it genuinely perfect . Thank you to the owners.

We had the best time ever at Belles View. The pod is beautiful and immaculately clean. Michael and Lee were the best hosts. They clearly care a great deal about their guests. We loved the chickens and the sheep and had the fortune to be there for the tail end of lambing season. We were there when the last two lambs were born and Michael let our two boys name the two beautiful new born lambs. Our boys loved being able to pet the lambs and Joey the cat and Florence the dog! It was so lovely to be able to sit in the hot tub at the end of the day and watch the animals in the field right next to you. The pod is in the perfect spot for activities. We stayed a week and visited the Churnet Valley railway to ride the steam train. We went to Peak Wildlife Park, Trentham Gardens and also did a beautiful walk from Hartington village as well as went to Thors Cave. All of those activities were a 2030 min drive from the pod. We could not recommend this place highly enough! We have stayed in a lot of lodges with hot tubs for UK breaks and this has been the best. The pod is small but plenty of space for a family of four.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Belles View. Michael and Lee were wonderful hosts and the pod was immaculate with everything we needed. We spent 2 days at Alton towers and it was wonderful to have a short drive back to then relax in the hot tub. I can't recommend Belles View highly enough and we are already looking forward to booking again next time we visit the area.

Lovely pod, Mike was a great host! Lovely touch with the Prosecco, milk and eggs. Would stay again.

We recently stayed at Belles View through Sykes Cottages, and it was an ideal escape for our group of four. The cottage was impeccably clean, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and the brandnew facilities added a nice touch of modern comfort. Belles View is perfect for those looking for a private, relaxing space to unwind and socialize. The spacious layout allowed us to spend quality time together, whether cooking in the wellequipped kitchen or enjoying the comfortable living area. The owners, Michael and Lee, were friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant personal touch without being intrusive. Overall, we highly recommend Belles View to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We look forward to booking with Sykes Cottages again.
Debbie
It was an absolute pleasure to stay in this brand spanking new pod. It was modern, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Perfect location for our family visiting Alton Towers. We added a couple of days onto our stay to relax and enjoy the hot tub and surrounding areas. We will be back.
