• "I have stayed many times in The Lakes over the years, but usually more in the central areas, such as Ambleside, Grasmere ect."

  This time we stayed at Beech Lea which was in Newby Bridge/Lakeside area. We stayed as a family with grown up children and our granddaughter and I have to say, the place was ideal. The house was immaculately clean and spacious and had everything you need. A lovely outdoor patio which we used a lot due to the fantastic weather we had. Across the road is The Lakeside Hotel which we used for some drinks in the afternoon and we caught the steamer to Bowness. No need for the car. Some lovely walks including a walk to The Swan hotel, again no need for the car. Ulverston is well supplied for quality supermarkets which we used when we ate at home. All in all, a fabulous week, which all the family thoroughly enjoyed, matched by amazing weather to give us the perfect week. Definitely would return again in the future.

• "A lovely holiday home and the owners have thought of everything."

  Perfect place to spend my 60th birthday with family and watching the deer in the field next to us on our last evening was the perfect way to end the weekend. Thank you to Alison for advice prior to our visit.

• "We had a wonderful week at Beech Lea."

  The house is presented beautifully and was spotless on arrival. The standard of fixtures and fittings is very high. Beds are extemely comfortable. The house is particularly well equipped and especially in the kitchen which we often find lacking in holiday homes. Beautiful bathrooms. The location is great with easy access to lakeside and the ferries, aquarium and walks in Great Knott Wood. Short walk to lakeside Hotel for an evening drink in the bar. Great breakfast at the Swan on the last morning. Delicious dinner at Masons arms at strawberry Bank. Perfect home for a multi-generational family holiday.

• "Beech Lea is beautifully built and equipped house, in a fantastic location of the Lake District."

  We have stayed in quite a few holiday homes around the lakes and this is by far the best. We stayed in Beech Lea over Christmas and had everything required and more to prepare a fantastic Christmas dinner. There are fantastic path walks for us and our dog on the doorstep. The field in front of the property starts a fairly long and hilly path walk for a good hour and more or cross the road to the Ferry and follow a gravel path all the way to the Swan Hotel in Newby Bridge. I don't normally write reviews or return to holiday cottages, but we will be returning to this one when next visiting the Lakes. Thank you Alison for your assistance throughout that helped the experience. Michael, Jane, Izzy & Amelia (+ Lola the Sheepadoodle).

• "Awesome! Best way to describe this lovely property."

  Lovely bathrooms with toiletries, nice touch. Beautifully furnished bedrooms, very comfortable beds. A very well equipped kitchen, amazing everything you needed and more including the utility room with washing machine and dryer. The garden room was my favourite, open the bi-folding doors onto the patio with lovely views. Nice large patio area ideal for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and our grandson who loved it. On a good day you may occasionally see the low flying RAF jets which fly directly over the garden room. Ideally placed for exploring the lakes, nice walk to the Swan. Loved the framed 3D Lake District relief map, so much so I’ve bought one for my study. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. The shortbread and vino was a lovely touch. Alison was a lovely host thank you.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Beech Lea."

  The house was very well appointed - everything we needed and more. Lovely touches such as the toiletries in every bathroom and all the well labelled cupboards and drawers. Well positioned for trips on Lake Windermere. Loved the walk to and tour of Stott's Park Bobbin Mill and the lovely walk to the Swan Inn and in the surrounding woodland. A perfect spot for a family get together and a relaxing break. Particularly loved the sun room with it's bi-fold doors. Particularly useful when it's a bit breezy.

• "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.

• "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!

  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.
