Old Bell Works Reviews

This was our second visit to The Old Bell works, absolutely loved it once again, cottage is well equipped comfortable and definitely a 5 star stay. The owners are always on hand to answer any queriesquestions, the hot tub is a dream and super relaxing after a day of sight seeing, our dog Charley loves the garden, its so big, enclosed and very well kept. The beds are super comfortable and the bedding very plush, I would not hesitate in any way to recommend this property to anyone and will definitely be back! Thank you Paula and Brian for another brilliant holiday!
We read a lot of the previous feedback before booking this accommodation and so had very high expectations, but we were certainly not disappointed. On the contrary, we were impressed by the amount of love, care and attention to detail which has gone into creating this beautiful home from home. Thank you for a perfect stay.
Patricia
Definitely the best holiday property we have rented. The cottage is very comfortable, warm and every need met. Both the inside and garden are stunning. Hot tub important for us was checked each morning by owner. Robes, towels and slippers supplied first time ever!. Lovely garden furniture with games two 18 year old grandchildren had an amazing time.. All bedrooms were beautifully presented nice bedding and, again lots of little extras. Nice ensuite shower rooms very modern with good toiletries.and fluffy towels.. dog friendly with towels,, etc provided. Fully fenced very large garden for safety. Owners live close by and are both really helpful if needed.. Highly recommend and we all want to return 3 generations from 18 to 81!
Another lovely break at Old Bell Works. Very comfortable, warm and cosy cottage with great outdoor space and covered in hot tub and seating area. We look forward to returning again.
Allison
The cottage was absolutely stunning. It was so homely and had everything we needed and more with the added bonus of having a hot tub. Thank you for a wonderful stay Paula.
This is by far one of the nicest properties that we have stayed in! So comfortable, clean and cosy! There was everything provided that you needed and more. As soon as we walked in we were instantly relaxed. The owner was so friendly and helpful, nothing was a bother. Jacuzzi was fabulous and so well maintained by the owner. We would 100 recommend this property!
Stephen
Outstanding property and better than the pictures. Very dog friendly and spotless. Refurb has been carried out to an extremely high standard with quality fittings and fixtures. Wish we could have stayed longer. We spent Christmas week here and the owners went all out to decorate before our arrival. Would be very happy to return.
Jessica
Booked here for our annual girly work friends trip that we have done the last 3 years. Picked due to location not being too far from home and hot tub being an essential requirement. When we arrived it felt so cosy and warm. Very clear guide with instructions etc. Kitchen very well equipped and again loved the open plan layout. Everything seemed to have been thought of like sliders for going to the hot tub and towels especially for the hot tub. Never been anywhere that does that and made a big difference. All in all we had a very relaxing weekend and there was plenty of space. Paula and Brian were so friendly and helpful in the lead up to us arriving and answered any questions promptly. Will definitely return hopefully in the future. Lovely cosy group house for families and chilled out groups.

We have just spent the most wonderful and relaxing week at The Old Bell Works cottage, and firstly have to send huge thanks to Paula and Brian and their family for creating such a special place. From the moment you walk through the front door you get the feeling that you are being embraced by a warm and very comforting giant hug! We loved everything about it, so much so we could easily have moved in permanently! There is so much to love about this property, the decor, the beams, the stone work, the log fire, the very comfortable beds, the hot tub, the very generous and secure garden which our dog loved, and also for any horse lovers like myself you could sometimes spot them in the stable yard just behind the cottage from the open plan living area window. The other special thing about this place is the details, the little felt mice, the toy animals and pumpkins, all dotted around and in some unexpected places, and the beautiful light up tree in the hallway with the animal decorations, the throws even for the dog too!, the hamper basket, all these touches were so lovely and made it feel so homely. The surroundings are also so peaceful, if you are after a place to be quiet and recharge the batteries this is for you. If anyone is reading through all of the great reviews weighing up whether to book or not like we did! I would say this to you Do not hesitate! Get it booked...we are sure you will love it as much as we did! Thank You once again Paula, Brian & Family for an amazing stay
This property is outstanding! ! Very clean, comfortable, well equipped and special. The hosts were really friendly and very helpful whenever we needed anything. Our family thoroughly enjoyed every minute at old bell works thank you so much we highly recommend this beautiful cottage and can't wait to return!!!
Harold
This is our third visit to the property so we must be pleased with it. Great house plenty of room, nice big fenced garden for our our dog Seeker, no problem with bringing a dog, just follow the rules, Plentiful supply of hot water at a good pressure for the showers, Hot tub great for that soak at the end of the day. The owners Paula and Brian were excellent, They were available when need but not mithering.
The Old Bell Works is an absolutely stunning property and my family and I enjoyed a fantastic weeks stay. The cottage is immaculate and everything was as described even better than we could have expected. We loved it so much we have booked to come back again next summer. The hosts were so accommodating checking in before and throughout our stay. They really had thought of everything and also added little touches to make the cottage extra special. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing, comfortable and super chilled break. We look forward to returning in 2025.
Jacqui
The facilities were perfect and the garden fabulous with plenty of areas to sit and relax. The hot tub was lovely and having robes, towels and shoes provided was a great touch. The walk over the fields and through the maize field to the pub was just the right distance but the terrain not good for those who are unstable on their feet as there is a gate to climb over and a narrow bridge. The Old Bell Works is a beautiful place to stay for 2 and 4 legged visitors..would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Elizabeth
We had a great time at Old Bell Works. The cottage was extremely comfortable and had everything you needed. The hot tub and BBQ area was fantastic, it was all under cover, so no matter the weather you could still enjoy the outside life. Paula and Brian were very friendly and made you feel at home. It was really peaceful at all times and felt really relaxed in this wonderful cottage. Would thoroughly recommend Old Bell Works for a stay and handy for visiting lots of interesting places Lancashire has to offer. Would love to go back.
An excellent property which really is a home from home with everything you could require whilst away. The property is fantastic, beautifully decorated and homely with comfy beds and plenty of space to relax in. The secure garden is lovely with a huge area for the children and dog to run around in with comfy outdoor seating, BBQ and hot tub which are all in excellent condition and well maintained. The owners are lovely, checking in on us via text and letting us know about events happening in the local area and nothing is too much trouble.
This was our second stay at this lovely cottage, and we enjoyed it even more. Our son has a physical disability, but he managed the groundfloor shower with the aid of a perching shower chair. He loved the groundfloor bedroom. We travelled to different places each day and researched where was accessible and dogfriendly. For families like us, we recommend some areas you might like to try. Many thanks for our stay xox.
Absolutely beautiful cottage, everything you need for a wonderful stay, brilliant well equipped kitchen, beautiful comfortable beds with excellent bedding, lovely relaxing garden and the hot tub was a big plus! Lovely sized garden for our 4 legged friends, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much to Paula and Brian
Caroline
Old Bell Works will not disappoint in any way, shape or form. We have just returned from spending a week in this gorgeous property and have loved everything about it. It's the most comfortable, homely, cosy, well thought out property by far that we have stayed in. The property owners have quite clearly thought of literally everything to make your stay as home from home as possible. This property allows pets and we feel the need to mention that there was no smell whatsoever or any evidence that dogs have been in the property amazing. Thank you Paula & Brian for creating this gem, you should be very proud.
We have stayed in many Sykes Cottages but The Old Bell Works has been the best yet. It is well presented and in excellent condition inside and out. The beds are comfortable with cosy matress toppers and crisp white sheets. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for selfcatering. Lots of channels on the TV, good WiFi reception, and selection of games available. Covered hottub and outdoor seating was great, even in the rain. The owners go the extra mile with small details and clearly care that you have a perfect holiday. Plenty of attractions for all ages within a 2030 min drive. Highly recommended.
What a beautiful property! Paula and Brian have thought of everything and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay for our girls weekend. Will be recommending to friends & family and hopefully we can make this an annual trip!
Philip
The owners of Old Bell Works really went above and beyond to provide everything we could possibly need, in one of the most gorgeous and well equipped places we've ever seen. This cottage oozes with love and attention to detail, down to the little felt mice that are placed around various nooks and crannies for you to find while exploring the decor. Not a single thing was out of place or anything other than immaculate. The hot tub was hot and ready to jump in as soon as we arrived which we absolutely did, and didn't miss a single day without spending some time in it. Paula & Brian have done an amazing job and completely allowed us our privacy, just checking in via message to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks you both for the great trip, and we would love to return again in the future!

Fab cottage it had everything we needed and more. Paula and Brian were lovely and very helpful. We will be going again.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Old Bell Works in Pilling, and we are thrilled to share our exceptional experience. From start to finish, every aspect of our stay was nothing short of perfection. The cottage itself is a delightful retreat, exuding a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The attention to detail in the interior design and furnishings truly reflects the care and thoughtfulness put into creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment. The amenities provided exceeded my expectations, ensuring a luxurious and convenient stay. The kitchen was wellequipped, allowing for easy meal preparation, and the comfortable bedding provided a restful night's sleep. The cleanliness and maintenance of the cottage were impeccable, adding to the overall positive impression. The hot tub was large, hot and very welcoming. The location is also worth noting, offering a serene and picturesque setting. It provided a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation. Moreover, the hospitality extended by our hosts was exceptional. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. Their commitment to providing a 5star experience was evident in every interaction. In conclusion, our stay was truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone seeking a topnotch retreat with a perfect blend of comfort, style, and warm hospitality. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for an outstanding experience!
Dianne
I rented this fabulous cottage to escape the the hustle and bustle of life. . and i was not disappointed on arrival we had a lit log burner going cosy lights the cottage was warm and welcoming after a 12 hour drive. Fresh milk and juice and a whole hamper full of goodies to get us through breakfast was a doddle. The cottage its self was outstandingly beautiful immaculately clean and to say it was comfortable was an understatement.. with added perks a wonderful garden beautifully lit up at night and an amazing hot tub. The owners them selfs went above and beyond to ensure we had all we needed for our stay plenty of information on things to do around the area.. we took full advantage of the cottage and stayed in a couple of days it was just perfect i can not wait to re book i would 1000 recomend this little gem to any one. My party consisted of a wheelchair user a 6 month old baby teenagers and young adults and of course im about middle age
Absolutely beautiful cottage with the most amazing attention to detail, the extra touches are just phenomenal. This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first! We had birthday banners set up and little birthday touches for my little girl and the welcome hamper was a wonderful treat. Paula goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect, 100 recommend! Hopefully well be back next year.

Absolutely fantastic property where everything has been thought of. Theres not one thing we could think of to make our stay any better. The house was immaculate and was even decorated for Halloween! Our dog loved to run around in the huge garden whilst we sat in the hot tub. We loved our stay so much we have already booked for next year! Thanks Brian and Paula

This house is a wee Gem! We loved it so much that we have booked another stay next year.
Fixtures and fittings were of the highest quality. You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into the conversion. Lovely welcome basket, and the owners on hand if needed. Bifold doors lead onto a huge enclosed garden with fabulous outdoor seating area and hot tub. Will definitely be back!
Beverley
WOW! Anyone thinking about booking this cottage. .do it! You will not regret it. This is easily the best place we have visited. The garden area is amazing, the little touches inside the cottage were much appreciated. Upon arrival we had a very impressive welcome hamper along with fridge items and a bottle of wine which was enjoyed by us on the first night! Very attentive owners when needed and very friendly. Lots to see in the area and an extremely enjoyable week. We will be back x

We loved our stay, it is even better than the photos. The little extras that arent listed, TVs in the bedrooms, toiletries in the bathrooms. Bathrobestowelsshoes for use in hot tub Towelsblankets for the dogs. Hamper in kitchen with selection of little goodies. Milk, Orange, Wine in the fridge. Owners live next door but you wouldnt know, but if you needed them they were there in a flash. Lovely quiet village. Perfect garden with great covered hot tub area. I would give it a 4 star plus.
Lovely, comfortable cottage with great facilities. The covered over hot tub and seating area was excellent, allowing use of tub in all weather. Highly recommend.
Rosemary
Perfect hosts with a beautiful house in an ideal location.
Christine
Old Bell Works is an amazing cottage in a lovely location. It provides all the facilities you require and everything is of a very high standard. A lot of praise must go to Paula and Brian who are amazing hosts, without being intrusive. Their standards are very high and other hosts would do well to emulate them. We would have no hesitation in returning to Old Bell Works in the future.
