“Very clean and comfortable.”

Even more spacious inside than we expected

Even more spacious inside than we expected Ideal location, very quiet but nearby to all main places we wanted to visit Will definitely stay here again and will be recommending this Holiday Cottage to our friends - but only after we've rebooked it for ourselves :-)

- Les, May 2022

Kay May 2022

“Such a lovely lodge in a tranquil setting.”

Very comfortable - a home from home! Our welcome goody bag was a lovely touch too. It was so easy to walk into the village along the beck. Lots of great walks in the area - our dog Dexter loved them all!

- Kay, May 2022

Thank you for taking your time to leave such kind comments about your stay in Beck of Beyond. We love to hear that people have enjoyed it as much as we have. I will let Charlie our cocker spaniel know that Dexter had a good time and enjoyed the walks around Hawkshead like he does! Many thanks again. Property Owner

“Great stay Comfortable as always , pleased with the new sofa and the TV now has Amazon Netflix ect ,”

- Alan, February 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Appreciate your comment about the sofa and the extra channels. We are always looking at ways of improving Beck and it is great when this is noticed. Many thanks again for choosing Beck. Jane Property Owner
Denis February 2022

“Fantastic place to stay.”

Immaculate condition. Only minor point is the check in was 16:00 and check out was 10:00. That’s a window of 6 hours to turn the accommodation around. With a 5 hour journey up there, we lost valuable time in the holiday due to a late check in.

- Denis, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Beck of Beyond. We, along with the team at Heart of the Lakes work very hard to try and keep our lodge to the best standards possible. I am sorry that you were disappointed with the turnaround time. It does not take 5 hours to turn the lodge around but the cleaning team have more than one holiday let each day so that they get a complete days work. It is not always easy to say the exact time they will get to the lodge as several factors may alter this. You are always welcome to park at the lodge and enjoy a walk to the village on future stays. Many thanks again for your feedback. Jane Property Owner
Peter January 2022

“Excellent place to stay in a wonderful location.”

We have stayed in similar accommodation before and this has to be one of the best. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a stay in the Lakes, very convenient for Hawkshead and the surrounding area.

- Peter, January 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback about your stay at Beck of Beyond. We really care about our lodge and it makes us very happy when we read that other people have enjoyed staying in it. Many thanks for your kind words. Jane and Peter. Property Owner
Loraine January 2022

“Nothing has been missed when furnishing Beck of Beyond, they thought of everything!”

Spotlessly clean, great layout, beautiful interior. Towels big enough for everyone, cleaning supplies, tea towels and even hand soap. Thank you so much. Would definitely return and recommend. This was a last minute booking, for ‘somewhere quiet’, you satisfied the spec.

- Loraine, January 2022

Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback about your stay at Beck of Beyond. It is so good to read that you found it to be clean and have everything that you required, this is so important to us. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope that we can welcome you back again in the future. Jane and Peter Property Owner
Ellis January 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Beck of Beyond, we wished we could of stayed longer.”

It’s situated in such a quiet, pretty area with a lovely stream flowing behind the lodge. Upon arrival there were biscuits and wine which was a nice gesture from the lodge owner. The only downside to our stay was the kitchen tap wasn’t working properly, when we arrived the lodge was freezing cold so it would of been nice to arrive with the heating on ready for guests, no firewood or matches were provided so we had to obtain this elsewhere for the fire. The outside light by the front door wasn’t working so when returning from walks it was hard to see what you were doing. Overall a lovely stay and would 100% recommend.

- Ellis, January 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about your stay. I am so sorry that the kitchen tap was not working and hope that Heart of the Lakes had this mended quickly for you. I am also sorry that the heating was not left on, it normally is and I will check with Heart of the Lakes to make sure this happens in future. We will also ensure that the outside light is working, we do intend to have additional lights added as we have realised how this would be beneficial. many thanks again for leaving your feedback as it really is the only way we can keep Beck of Beyond to an excellent standard and improve your future stays.

“This is the third time we have stayed at this property and yet again we cannot fault it and was a perfect break.”

The hamper we received on the latest visit was a really nice touch and was nice to see the few changes that had been made since last year. Really cannot fault anything about this property and will certainly be back again this year.

- Sara, December 2021
Wesley December 2021

“Stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed the stay, the lodge was fantastic and had everything we needed.”

Hamper on arrival was a very generous touch and well received. Definitely will be booking again I haven't got a bad word to say

- Wesley, December 2021
Ron November 2021

“Up to it’s usual great standard.”

Well appointed and very well equipped with everything one needs for a Lakeland holiday. The bottle of wine and lovely biscuits were much appreciated

- Ron, November 2021
Alison October 2021

“We enjoyed the holiday but it was let down by two things - very uncomfortable sofa and the duvets were far too warm - should have a choice of lighter weight duvets.”

- Alison, October 2021

Thank you so much for taking the time to give your feedback about Beck of Beyond. A new sofa has been ordered and we are just waiting for a delivery date for this. We can’t offer a choice of quilts but following your feedback are going to replace these with a lighter weight quilt and make blankets available for those who feel the cold. Thank you again for your feedback, it is only when people take the time to do this that we can improve. Property Owner
Joe October 2021

“Thank you for a letting us stay at such a lovely place.”

We will definitely be coming back

- Joe, October 2021
Catriona September 2021

“On the surface the lodge looked clean, however it is in need of a deep Clean.”

Blinds are thick with dust, toilet, wash basins have only been wiped down. Time needs to be taken to properly clean around the taps where the meet the porcelain and where the cistern meets the base. The shower door in the family bathroom needs replacing. Water pours out at the hinged end resulting in the floor being flooded. This is definitely a health and safety issue. The water has also started to rot the wood around the door frame. On the decking some of the boards are broken or damaged and need to be replaced or repaired before someone get hurt. A locked container to store bikes would be useful Lovely comfortable beds, cosy sofa for relaxing and great kitchen with everything you would need. If the TV was wall mounted it would be easier for everyone to see.

- Catriona, September 2021

Thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback on Beck of Beyond, it is very good of you as we really do want to keep it in great condition. The decking planks have been booked to be repaired and will be done as soon as the contractor can get this work carried out. I am sorry to had not been repaired when you were at Beck of Beyond but I am hoping it will be done soon. I was not aware of the shower screen and have instructed Heart of the Lakes to repair this as soon as possible. Property Owner
Sue August 2021

“We had a wonderful holiday at Beck of Beyond.”

It was in a peaceful location, the lodge was well equipped and comfortable. The walk to the village along the path by the river was a delight and more enjoyable than walking on the road. Hawkshead is a lovely compact village with lots of places to eat and drink. We had a fantastic week and would happily book this accommodation again.

- Sue, August 2021

“This us our second stay at Beck of Beyond.”

Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet location, comfortable lodge with everything you need. Brilliant location for walking and generally enjoying the surrounding countryside

- Susan, June 2021

“Lodge is placed in a quiet area with only 4 other lodges which may be privately owned as 3 empty whilst there.”

Would benefit with a larger outside bin which gets emptied on a Friday which then can have rubbish left from previous people leaving on Saturday, you need to take as much recycle items into the local town bins to reduce your amount as cannot leave rubbish left in bin liners due to wild life out there. Lighter duvets also would be more comfortable in summer months with extra blankets if needed felt too heavy for me. Great there is a washing machine with supply of detergent, only issue then is drying of clothes outside which the provided airer is very light and slightly damaged therefore not able to hold much weight. Overall plenty of space inside, lovely bathrooms and kitchen well equipped with utensils and cooking items.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Note: Due to a few steps to reach the entrance, the property is not suitable for those with limited mobility.
