Beckside Farm Reviews

Himanshu
It is really nice cozy cottage in natural location. we love the atmosphere around this cottage. the Landlord is very helpful and gentle person.
Beckside Farm is fantastic. The house is large and spacious, with everything you need to self cater. The location is great with lovely local walks Gibsons Spout was a highlight and easy access to climb Scarfell Pike. The nearby Brye Cafe and Brown Cow Inn are both lovely food at the Inn is brilliant and welcoming. The sinks in three of the bedrooms is particularly useful when staying as a group as this cuts down on people needing the bathrooms as the same time. Our host Tania was friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. If your looking for modern luxury, this probably isn't the listing for you. The bathroom whilst clear recently updated doesn't have the most powerful shower. The decor is dated etc. However, if your looking for a house with bags of character and a base for all the fantastic walking in the lakes, you'd struggle to do better than Beckside Farm.
Najrana
The property was lovely, spacious rooms, beautiful location. The bathroom looks to have been recently renovated, and the additional WC was good to have, as we were a group of 10. The hosts were very helpful with information about local sights, and there was a useful guide at the cottage of things to do nearby. There is a Tesco about 15 minutes drive away. Would highly recommend this property, and the rent was very reasonable.
A wonderful traditional farmhouse on an old working farm ideal for a large family like ours. Affordable and within striking distance of the southern lakes.
Stacey
The farmhouse is very large and has a lot if character. John jack the owner is lovely and gave us a lot if information. We went and explored the different little townsvillages. Very relaxing and quiet
William
Owner was very attentive and informative. We were very happy with the cleanliness of the house and loved exploring the local area. It had everything that we needed for a short stay. Fantastic stay would highly recommend!
This property is in an ideal location for both the coast and Wastwater, and has real farmhouse charm. The owners John and ? are also working the farm, they were so welcoming and accommodating. The decor and standard of accommodation is probably right for what you pay for, not plush but plenty of space and a great front garden. It was too wet for us utilise this space on our short stay. A real plus is the size, 9 sleeping spaces in the bedrooms. Just what we needed.
Beautiful place, lovely house, hosts couldnt have been more helpful and welcoming. The property had a really warm, homely feeling and the kids adored it. The beds were really comfy, the water was hot and the facilities in the wellequipped kitchen were both comprehensive and effective. We really liked the book of past experiences and ideas from other guests. Sadly we ran out of time to write our own story in there. It was a wonderful break and wed love to come again. Highly recommended thank you!
Pankaj
Overall the property was in good condition and we had awesome stay with a group. Everyone enjoyed
Nelson
Great holiday cottage with friendly and helpful owner. Value for money.
This is a delightful, restful place to escape from the hurly burly for a while. Farmer Jack and family are so welcoming and we especially enjoyed our conversations with Jack. It's not a boutique, bijou cottage, don't expect Farrow and Ball world, but just enjoy a former family home on a working farm, one that's got what you need to have a good time, in a lovely spot, right by the fells and not too far from the local beach. The village shop is not especially well stocked so take things you can't do without
Elaine
The property had everything we needed and more for our family holiday. Farmer Jack was very friendly & informative and we got to meet n feed the horses. Weather wasnt kind to us but still got out and about every day
It was difficult to identify the house as the cover photo is actually the rear side of the property.
Sophie
Lovely traditional farm house close to coniston. Well equipped kitchen. Great hosts Jack & Tanya some may prefer a more up to date property, not us. We love the farm house with all old quirks included. Great value for money with everything you need.
Awesome Stay
