3 generation family getaway

We had a wonderful week. The house was really well stocked. Half way up a hill with super views. Lounge bar at bottom of hill, tearoom and shop 500 yards. Beautiful pond unfenced. Fantastic part of the country.

A comfortable stay in a unique property

It has the feel of a property a 1970s footballer would have constructed after signing a new deal. A time capsule for a bygone era. The area was near silent when we were there and I'm sure the outside space would be better utilised in warmer weather to take in the stunning views. The only thing I would point out is the lack of central heating (may be mentioned in the listing). There is a variety of electric heating options which take more time to organise then a central thermostat but the advantage is individuals can decide what to do with their room. If the decor is to your taste, it's a comfortable house with a large living space.

Thank you for your 5 star review of Bells View, the heating is all electric which is controlled individually for most rooms. I have forwarded your feedback to the owner.

Perfect family holiday house

This house is wonderful for families getting together to celebrate. Loads of room, different tables and seating to suit all - eating, chatting, jigsawing and playing games. Fabulous views abd walks galore from the door. If you are a cook, it's perfect too! I could go on. The pub, the shell beach, the island, the woods.........
