  • "Beckmead is such a lovely cottage in a quiet street with plenty of parking."

    The cottage itself is sensitively decorated to keep its period features but with all the mod cons you would need and it was very clean and tidy. We really loved the family room and spent most of our time in there. I can imagine in the winter it would be very cosy! Jen and Ed were the perfect hosts, providing a little basket of essentials and treats for our stay. The town itself has plenty of shops and restaurants but if you wanted more variety I would recommend going a mile down the road to Bowness-on-Windermere as it is a bit bigger. You can also get a boat to different towns like Ambleside from there. The cottage is located on a very convenient bus route which means you can leave the car behind. We took the bus to Grasmere and got to see all the sights from the bus on the way. We are already planning out return!

    Thank you for such amazing feedback and delighted you enjoyed the house. We look forward to welcoming you in the future. Ed & Jen Property Owner

    Property was ideally located with easy parking right outside. Property was immaculate with nice touches like a welcome basket and a welcome message the from the owners! Even sent a message to say we could stay in the property until 12 on checkout date which was lovely of them! Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.

  • "Nice house done out well, good compact kitchen with coffee machine and double oven, nice dining room with big table, welcome pack was good with prosecco and snacks."

    Garden space was good with big table. Great location in Windermere. Only seating for four in each lounge made it difficult for us to all be together and the seats had a long base with very soft additional cushions for lumbar support, a couple of us twinged our backs. Would be good if the first floor cummunial bathroom was open. First floor room and ensuite nice and big and clean, top floor ensuites quite small and low shower if you're tall and had mouldy shower heads. All in all a good stay.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your stay wasn't 100% and have noted the points raised. Ed & Jen Property Owner

  • "Fantastic cottage, spacious and homely."

    Had everything we needed and a lovely welcome basket was a really nice touch on arrival. Even left a couple of washing capsules for the washing machine which was helpful for my son’s dirty walking clothes. Within walking distance to all the shops and amenities. Close proximity to drive or use public transport to Bowness, Grasmere, Hawkshead and Ambleside. We had to contact the owners as knocked a picture off the wall and wanted to know how to replace it. They got straight back to us and were really understanding. Would definitely return, had a wonderful stay.

  • "What a gem."

    Great accommodation and very well equipped. Lovely touch with welcome pack too. And as the weather was so brilliant we managed to eat at the very large table outside. Although the garden is secure for dogs there was one part where he managed to jump off the wall into next door. But we easily managed to barricade it to stop it happening again. Owners brilliant too as kept in touch by text and we were able to access the property earlier than expected. All in all a great weekend and would definitely stay again.

    Delighted that you and the family had a lovely stay.....and the weather finally behaved. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Ed & Jen Property Owner

  • "Really nice house in a great location."

    The house itself is really nice inside, the two reception rooms were great, especially with kids. Really nice lounge, dining room and kitchen. Showers were good. The only negative was the double bed in the Jacob room was a small double and I didn’t find it very comfortable. Also the lock mechanism on the front door was a bit dodgy and came loose but I did manage to screw it back on. Would definitely recommend this house.

    We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Also, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and bringing the lock issue to our attention. We've addressed the lock, which was an odd one as it had only been replaced 2 months previously. We hope to see you again in the future. Ed & Jen Property Owner

    The property is in a great location being just a few minutes walk into Windermere town and only around 20 minutes from Bowness and there are some lovely walks on the doorstep. It was really well equipped, clean and spacious and the enclosed garden was great for the dogs. The welcome basket was also a lovely addition.

  • "We had a fantastic time at Beckmead."

    It's a beautiful property, well maintained and equipped. We were lucky enough to have great weather, and found this to be a perfect base. We were a little concerned before we went about on street parking, but even though we stayed over Bank Holiday we were able to park directly opposite the house every day. Beds and sofas all comfortable, and good bathrooms (read the instructions in the visitors book about the upstairs showers as you have to press a button to get them hot!). We would certainly recommend this cottage and would happily stay there again.

  • "We had a wonderful week at Beckmead (despite the soggy weather) The house was lovely, and immaculate on arrival."

    Really warm and cosy which was very welcome on a cold wet winters night. It was far more spacious than it looks in photos, and was a great plus having our own ensuites, as there was 6 of us in total. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we've been to...and the welcome basket was very high quality and generous too!! Only a 15 minute walk to the lake in either direction, some local people told us of some good dog walks, which we will definitely try next time. We never met the hosts, but they were brilliant at answering any queries we had....thanks again Ed and Jen for sharing your lovely home with us. We will return, Ruth and family xx

Your home away from home

This Victorian, mid-terrace house of Beckmead rests in Windermere, Cumbria and is perfect for families to come and enjoy some time away together. The house accommodates a group of six and has been very thoughtfully decorated, with a pet-friendly policy in place to make it easy for you to bring your four-legged friend along for the holidays with you. Upon arrival, you will find that the house has ample on-street parking, directly outside the house, making it easy for you to arrive and get settled in. Make your way inside to be welcomed by one of two fabulous sitting areas, the first of which is a sitting room enjoying sumptuous décor, a glowing electric fire, and a Smart TV. The other is a snug that can be found at the rear of the property, with a log burning stove, and is the perfect spot for teens, thanks to its plush seating and 65" Smart TV!

The house benefits from full fibre internet with download speeds of 400Mb+. When you're feeling peckish, head to the brand-new fitted kitchen, a well-presented space enjoying matt units and integrated appliances. Once a mouth-watering meal has been fixed up here, bring it over to the tastefully furnished dining room, where a table for six awaits; an electric fire warms up the space, giving it the perfect ambiance for a family meal! When night falls, venture to the first floor to find one of the three lovely bedrooms inhabiting the house, comprising a king-sized bed and a brand-new en-suite bathroom. Progress upstairs again to find two further bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, as well as a basin, en-suite shower room, the other a double bed and en-suite bathroom room. Behind the property lies a charming, enclosed yard with a table and seating for six, where you can escape for a bit of quiet time in the morning with a steaming cup of coffee in hand! Embark on a short walk into the centre of Windermere and spend the day exploring the attractions of The World of Beatrix Potter and the Windermere Jetty Museum; alternatively, you can embark on walks along Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head Viewpoint, both of which are areas showcasing the best of Windermere's views. Why not spend the day at Lake Windermere, where Miller Ground and Hodge Howe offer fantastic water sports opportunities, and a ferry from Bowness-on-Windermere lets you sail across the water to the sights of Far Sawrey. Be sure to travel to Ambleside, a town steeped in history, which you can learn of at the Ambleside Roman Fort, before visiting the fantastic Stagshaw Gardens or hiking towards Stock Ghyll Force or Wansfell Pike. The local area is home to so much more to see, from the sights of Rydal to the bustling town of Kendal; you'll rarely lack for things to do!
