• "Great property in fantastic location to explore the southern lakes."

  The owners were on hand if we needed anything, but as everything was fine we didn't need to bother them. The garden was beautiful and we managed to sit outside and enjoy it for a couple of days before the weather got too cold. Hopefully we will be back in the future.

  Thank you so much Alison for the great feedback and pleased you managed a few days of good weather to enjoy the garden also, kind regards Joanne & Terry Property Owner

• "Beautiful spacious house, with every need catered for."

  Very generous welcome pack. Amazing garden, leading right onto the tarn. All our family, 70's, 40's teenagers to 8 & 5 yr olds enjoyed time in garden and water. Lots of garden furniture for 10 of us to sit out and enjoy. Canoe and 5 life jackets provided.Lots of books and games in case of bad weather...we were very lucky only one rainy day (still spent in water). Lovely pub over the road, lots of friendly folks. Plenty of rooms so not all on top of each other. Had a brilliant holiday.

  Thank you so much for the amazing review Diane and so pleased you all had a wonderful time together. Lovely to know that you made good use of the garden and tarn and enjoyed the hospitality of our local village pub! Kind regards Joanne and Terry Property Owner

  The children loved being on the Tarn in the kayak. The garden was lovely to sit in and read and have a cup of tea. The owners were next door if we had any questions/problems and they left us a lovely welcome basket which we all enjoyed. We would recommend and would love to come back again

  There was space for everyone in the house and the garden is amazing (it was helped by the weather). You can easily spend a day or two at home if you don’t want to go out and the pub across the road was a plus. Jo was great in contacting me to make sure everything was ok, without being invasive. I would definitely consider booking it again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home

• "Wow, what an amazing hidden gem!"

  We were a family of 7 & 3 dogs. We found this home as a half way point for family to meet. There is lots of space throughout the property so we aren't all on top of each other. Kitchen fully equipped for a large group - the slow cooker was well used! Lounge was big enough for seat us all comfortably - shame we didn't get to use the fire as the weather was so warm! Bedrooms had plenty of space with a real cosy feel Lots of board games/card games in the play room for a family games night/wet day. Dining room is beautifully presented, perfect for us all to be around the dining table. The beautifully well kept garden was perfect for the dogs and to sit at the bottom at the lake - breath taking! The Information book I'm the hall was extremely useful especially when it came to recycling etc. If you are looking for a well presented, spotless property to meet up with family or just to escape to the peaceful country side then please do book, you won't be disappointed.

  Thank you so much for the really fantastic review Linda. So pleased you all enjoyed your week in the cottage and enjoyed the garden along with your dogs. It was so lovely to meet you all and we look forward to seeing your lovely family again next year. Kind regards Joanne & Terry Property Owner

• "Clerk Beck Cottage is a superb, well equipped property for a large gathering with plenty of space to spread out when needed."

  The huge garden onto the tarn was fantastic for us and our three dogs and we enjoyed using the kayak and fishing. We did see somebody swimming too so had the weather been kind all week we definitely would've had a dip! The location is great to explore other parts of The Lakes with good shopping facilities in Ulverston. Joanne & Terry couldn't have been more helpful before and during our stay & I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Clerk Beck Cottage for a dog friendly holiday!

  Although the house was good there could be improvements. Seating in the kitchen wasn't that comfortable and also the front/garden room was cold and seating to low. The fountain feature looked good but thought you could hurt yourself on the sharp edge if you happened to stumble. Lovely village and Tarn. Pub was very good, food excellent, staff and locals very friendly. Would stay at village again.

  Thank you for your feedback David and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We will of course look to make improvements where it is possible to do so. Take care , Joanne and Terry Property Owner

• "A wonderful week in a beautiful house with a stunning garden and beautiful views of the Tarn, which sporty individuals can make use of and the rest of us can sit and watch with a tea or a wine."

  It can be rare to arrive at a holiday home (and it definitely feels like a home, not a ‘let’) and immediately feel relaxed and comfortable, Clerk Beck cottage provided that feeling which made the holiday seem longer than a week. We loved the comfortable bedrooms and the different areas for a larger group to either spread out in or all come together to eat or play games, watch TV – both inside and outside. Admittedly, we found our spot in the kitchen/sofa area as so welcoming and the dogs could easily go in and out!! Jo and Terry were fantastic – not just as hosts, with each query answered efficiently & patiently but as individuals - we had a situation arise before arriving, where we had to make a special request and they were brilliant in accommodating when they didn’t have to. Thank you! With regards to the Lake District – it is as stunning as expected and there are also some great shorter trips to local beaches and south edge of Windermere to walk in surrounding areas on the days when a longer drive isn’t fancied or an end of day ‘top-up’ walk for the dogs. All in all – fantastic holiday enhanced by a lovely home.

  Thank you so much Liz and Donna for the really fantastic review. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and the doggies too! So pleased the cottage felt so homely for you all, this is exactly the vibe we aspired to create for our guests. Take care and hope to see you again in the future, Joanne & Terry Property Owner

• "This property is amazing, so welcoming and extremely well equipped."

  The garden is stunning with its mature plants/trees and the stunning water feature. The pictures don’t do it justice, especially the size of it. We used the tarn for kayaking and paddle boarding, which even the dogs enjoyed. In fact, we struggled to keep the dogs out of the water! They had an amazing week! We were lucky enough to have a full week of sunshine, so we enjoyed the garden to its full extent. The local area is fantastic for walking, dog walking and cycling. Local restaurants were fab - The Farmers at Baycliff, Naaz Indian & The Mill in Ulverston. The General Burgoyne pub over the road had just shut towards the end of our week there, so we only had a drink there before it shut until further notice, a real shame. We will definitely be looking to book this property again! The hosts were so lovely and helpful. You will not be disappointed if you book this property!!!!

  The house way exceed expectations and the photos do not do it justice. This house oozes charm and this is complimented by the quality of the decor, furnishings, equipment and location. The garden is just amazing and the kayaks were a great surprise which enabled us to have even more fun. The patio is wonderful on a sunny evening and the seating at the edge of the lake was a great place to watch the wildlife. I have already recommended this property to friends and hope to return one day. The location is good with Ulverston being close by and is a lovely little town. Sella brow area is great for kids and adults paddling and even swimming in some parts and It’s free to park along roadside (google maps is best to find it) Windermere is also beautiful but was extremely busy. Kendal is nice is you want a larger town. There are also some good beeches but the best ones seem to be west and if you are willing to travel a bit further, some real gems. We had an amazing holiday!
