"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Beckside Farm."
It’s a comfortable, well equipped & spacious house with a fab garden.
It is situated in a great place to explore, well positioned for beaches, walks, Lil Ratty Railway and the brilliant Muncaster Castle. The dark skies are immense too!
Best of all was the hospitality of our hosts, we loved our daily chats and learning about the area, their lives and the farm, we would go back just for this!

Jack was very accommodating with this and that for us, thank you, Jack!
The countryside around, with waterfalls, the beach, Scafell Pike, is very enjoyable!

"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.

"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.

"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 couldn’t 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 well-equipped 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 we’d love to come again. Highly recommended - thank you!

"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
