The Belfry Reviews

Lovely property with great character . Hot tub nice in the winter,Entrance very narrow to property but I managed to squeeze my VW van in. Unusual layout with bedrooms downstairs.Works well for two couples. If being slightly picky mattress felt a bit worn as tend to sag in the middle .Easy access to village as only 5 mins into town .The Crafty Baa a nice pub for New Yesr.

Another fantastic holiday for Christmas in this cottage. So lovely and comfortable and the owner keep on top of anything that needs updating or repairing. Can't wait to return.

Reported just after arriving that the heating was not working. The engineer arrived quite quickly but was just a plumber and knew nothing about the new heat pump that had just been installed so he supplied some electric heaters that worked fine. A second engineer turned up two days later, fiddled with the controls and said it would work after 30 minute and left unfortunately it still didnt work! Hot tub was lovely but was located in a position that was overlooked by other properties and had open access no bolt on gate so anyone could use it while we were out. Neither of the above detracted from a lovely holiday.
Bathrooms need deep cleaning, both are mouldy, moreover the ensuite shower room water was not draining properly. Small bedroom is extra small not sure if you may consider extending it a bit if possible. Throw blanket in the living room needs washing. Otherwise the rest was excellent my family and I enjoyed our stay at the Belfry.
A wonderful property in a super location for exploring the lakes. After an issue with the hot water, the response and problem solving from Lakelovers was extremely quick.
Our The Belfry review: Second time at the Belfry and probably wont be the last visit because its so nice! Good location too easy access to the Lake Districts excellent bus network and trains.

This property is not fit for rental and holiday lettings and we were very disappointed by our overall experience. Every room in the Belfry has black mould throughout all windows and frames are covered in black mould, there was black mould on the bed sheets and on the curtains. We were unable to sleep in the main bedroom as there was such a mouldy stench and I have left the property with a stuffed nose. I contacted Sykes who did send out workmen however it was a partial treatment and requires much deeper work and attention to sort the problem. Other issues include the en suite bathroom as it stunk and the drainage didnt work properly. Small things like the 5 bulb chandelier in the main bedroom only had 3 bulbs working, were disappointing. Lastly we were awoken on Friday morning at 730am to a leaf blower outside the bedroom windows which went on for an hour no sleep ins at the Belfry! Overall the property has real potential its nicely decorated, lovely furnishings the table, chairs and couch and its in a great location however the fundamental issues with the property far outweigh any of the benefits. Given the price we paid to stay at the Belfry, it fell well below expectations and the cleanliness alone is enough for me to not recommend it to anyone.
Loved the Belfry everything had been thought off fantastic quiet location but ... Loved the Belfry everything had been thought off fantastic quiet location but near enough to all facilities would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying
