  • "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.

  • "Bellamour End is a beautiful property to stay in."

    Mel and George have thought of everything and this makes the cottage a proper home from home. The welcome basket is a great idea, and the promise of fresh egg's during the week is lovely. The property is centrally located between Stafford and Litchfield but yet you feel in the middle of country. Suggestions of places to visit from Mel's parents and a tractor lesson from George made our break in Staffordshire personal and relaxing. We will return to Bellamour and will also recommend it to friends and family. Thank you.

    Mel and family were so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. Mel and Wren were amazing with our 2 young daughters, letting them feed the sheep, chickens, and ducks, and allowing them to collect the eggs each day. Our girls absolutely loved it and now want to live on a farm! The cottage was just beautiful, so clean, and with everything you would need including children’s cutlery, toys and games. The location is great, so much to see and do in the area. We will definitely be returning in the future and have already recommended to family and friends!

    Thanks Abigail. It was lovely to have you all here. So glad the girls enjoyed the animals. Many thanks again, george and Mel. Property Owner

    The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped (particularly the kitchen, but it was also helpful to have a range of children’s toys). The cottage is well maintained and very clean. We felt very at home during our stay. Outside the cottage we enjoyed feeding the sheep and meeting the new lambs. George kindly allowed us to try his vintage tractor, which was greatly enjoyed by all the family. We hope to return.

  • "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).

    Thanks Vanessa. So glad you had a good time. George and Mel. Property Owner

  • "This was our second visit to Bellamour, one of our favourite cottages and one which provides the gold standard against which we judge other properties."

    There is nothing to fault. The owners, Mel and George are so welcoming and ensure everything is as it should be. They give freely of their time if any issues should arise such as how to manage the heating. The property is very comfortable throughout and is well decorated. Colton village is a short walk away and Rugeley railway station is a short drive away. The area is great for walking from canals to Cannock Chase and a good local bus service means areas are accessible for a walk and a drink. We’re already planning our third visit for 2024. Great cottage, great location and great hosts.

    Thank you so much Gaynor! It was lovely to see you both again. Thank you for your kind words, we hope that people can see how much we love it here and feel that they get to share in our own little bit of heaven. Your comments certainly seem to reflect that. We hope to see you again at some point! Mel and George. Property Owner

    It was very quiet and had views over farmland. It was lovely and warm and everything (and more) was provided including all manner of cooking utensils, decorative elements and clever organisation ideas. The beds were extremely comfortable and I slept like a log every night, which is not usually the case when in a strange bed. Mel the owner was a fabulous and friendly host. Very kind, and also knowledgeable about the local area which was useful. Myself and my sisters would have no hesitation in recommending Bellamour End Cottage.

    A lovely, warm welcome from Mel. It was great for a festive break with friends, we did a Christmas wreath making workshop with Mel too! The cottage is really well equipped and very comfy. A small hand basin in the loo (or a downstairs facility) would have made it perfect and helped with the morning bathroom queue!!

    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.

The property

Rugeley 2 miles.

Settled on a delightful small holding in the hamlet of Bellamour, just outside Rugeley in Staffordshire, is Bellamour End Cottage - a traditional semi-detached dwelling offering homely accommodation.

It enjoys a great location close to a variety of main transport links that make it easy to access a number of attractions and areas.

A quaint cream-painted exterior with jade-green painted windows beckons, this property is perfect for a family holiday in the countryside, whilst still easily connected to the amenities of Rugeley.

Step in through the farmhouse door after parking up, and discover the large country kitchen, a round table creates a social aspect to the room, which is home to a wealth of appliances, including an electric oven and hob, a utility corner housing the dishwasher and laundry appliances, and a large fridge/freezer within the handy under-stairs cupboard, the cupboards are well stocked for enthusiastic chefs.

Drink a glass of wine in here amidst the cream units and wooden worktops whilst dinner simmers, before tucking into a meal in the dining room, elegant prints line the walls and oak floors lie beneath, with an extendable oak table seating all six guests comfortably.

Retire to the sitting room for some rest and relaxation in the good company of your loved ones, settle onto the soft sofa and enjoy the Smart TV, perfect for watching your favourite programmes and films together.

A red-brick fireplace holding a wood burning stove adds warmth and a traditional aura to the room, sit on the patio and indulge in some star gazing and discuss your favourite parts of the trip so far.

The owner has two vintage tractors - tractor rides around the paddock are available or tractor driving tuition can be given.

Feed the chickens and say hello to the friendly sheep, there are often lambs to be bottle fed in the spring.
