  • "We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay."

    The house is beautifully equipped with everything you could need . Everything has been done to a very high standard. The garden room was a delight and the location is superb for activities for all the family just a few minutes walk from the property. All in all highly recommended and the owner was very helpful.

  • "We have stayed in many holiday lets over the years and this was one of the best."

    The owner has provided detailed easy to follow guides for all the facilities and equipment in the house. The cottage is fitted out to a very high standard, beds are really comfortable, bathrooms were beautiful and kitchen was well equipped. Log burner was great in the evening. easy to use. Location was great, stones throw from ferry and many local walks. As recommended by owners the Swan Hotel via the walk along the railway line was great, good food, friendly staff and we felt great value for money. The garage 5 mins drive from the house is well stocked with most of the essential. We enjoyed the M&S shortbread provided as a welcome gift. Literally we could not fault this beautiful property, the owners should be so proud of their rental property., a home from home indeed. Thank-you for letting us have a relaxing stress free stay in your lovely property.

    Hi William Thanks for taking the time to submit your wonderful review for Beech Lea. I am so pleased your family group loved the property and the location, and that you enjoyed the beautiful stroll to the lovely Swan. I do hope we can welcome you back again in the future.

  • "Absolutely wonderful property to stay in."

    We have been coming up to The Lakes for the last fifteen years, sometimes up to three times a year. We have stayed in many many cottages and this is just about one of the best. Every thought has gone into how you might live in and use the cottage, there are plenty of pans in the kitchen and not the usual cheap frying pan that everything sticks to. Beautiful amenities in the bathrooms. Free logs and kindling, these along with the beautiful setting, interior design that was impeccable culminated in the most wonderful stay. Also included were plentiful supply of dishwasher tablets, washing powder, washing up liquid, herbs and spices and many other condiments in the kitchen that were free to use. Beautiful box of M&S shortbread biscuits and a bottle of decent Rosé wine.. Literally I could not find one fault regarding this beautiful property. The owners should be so proud of their home/rental property, a home from home indeed!

    Hi Penny Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback for Beech Lea. I am so pleased you appreciated all the extra effort we have gone to in order to enable our guests to relax on holiday in our lovely property, making it a home from home. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Thanks Alison Property Owner

    We were blown away with how clean and cosy the property was. Owner has gone above and beyond with everything. It was perfectly equipped with everything you could have needed. Wonderful location, only a 2 minute walk to the ferry which was handy! One of the best holiday let’s I have every stayed in. Couldn’t recommend more.

    We had everything we needed for a nice relaxing family break. Good base for exploring the South Lakes, the weather was kind to us and we didn't want to come home!

  • "We have had a fantastic stay at Beech Lea."

    We love the Lakes It is our favourite place in the UK and we have been visiting as a family for over 12 years. We really did not want to leave, everything was perfect and very much home from home, obviously minus the view. All in all we could not fault our stay at all and we are very fussy.

About the location

LAKESIDE

Newby Bridge 1.2 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 8.7 miles.

The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats, bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, plus the picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and admire the views at nearby Gummer's How.
