Belle’s View Reviews

Yvonne
Belles View was a fantastic base for our holiday exploring Staffordshire and Derbyshire. It was so neat, tidy and well appointed!
Naeema
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.
