"A lovely small, comfortable and cosy cottage, well equipped and very clean."
It is managed by owners who are not intrusive but very caring of their clients. The village is interesting and friendly, with good amenities and well centred for walkers and touring the northern lakes.
Thank you for your great feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you both and we’re pleased you enjoyed our cottage and the surrounding area. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

"The property was perfect for what we needed."
We didn't realise milk would be provided, so unfortunately bought some of our own that we couldn't take with us on departure. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise. It was a lovely property, only improvement would be a larger bed in the main bedroom. It wasn't big enough for two adults to sleep comfortably.
We hope you enjoyed the wedding and enjoyed your two nights in our cottage. Sorry you found the bed too small it is a standard double bed. Property Owner

"This is a lovely little cottage in the quiet village of caldbeck."
The cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The owners Stephen and heather were lovely and called in personally to ensure we were happy and all was okay. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The linen on the beds was spotlessly white and pristine and a delight to sleep in. We loved it there and will hopefully return soon. It's a quaint village and the most traffic on the road was a local flock of sheep who have the run of the village. There is a shop, a pub that serves good food, two tearooms and a farm that sells fresh milk. Would recommend this cottage to anyone. Lovely home from home.
Thank you for your great feedback, it is always helpful for future guests. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

"We loved this superbly equipped cottage."
Heather and Stephen obviously take a lot of trouble to make sure guests feel welcome. We hope to return for a longer stay in the village. The only small thing we would suggest is that the hot water temperature is turned down. The shower is extremely hot and we couldn't get a cooler setting - that and a pair of rubber gloves for washing up would be great!
Thank you for your kind review. We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Beckside Cottage and would love to welcome you back. Thank you for bringing the shower to our attention. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

"Beckside Cottage looked so pretty on arrival with window baskets full of yellow and blue flowers complementing the blue and white of the cottage."
The interior was full of character and was very well equipped, especially in the kitchen. The owners, Stephen and Heather, left a lovely welcome pack and came round to say "hello" and check we had everything we needed. The weather was better than forecast so we were able to take advantage of the outdoor seating area which was a real sun trap in the mornings. The cottage is well situated within Caldbeck which has lots of amenities for a small village. It is an excellent base for exploring this part of Cumbria.
Thank you for the great feedback and thank you for choosing Beckside Cottage for your holiday. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Caldbeck. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage with all the amenities you can think of."
Comfortable beds, clean bathroom, excellent views. We had fresh milk and eggs and a basket filled with goodies. We had welcome wine and 4 delicious cupcakes waiting for us upon arrival. Loved the games cupboard with puzzles, playing cards and board games. I played scrabble with one child while the other did a puzzle with her dad! Superb location and excellent hosts. Would most definitely recommend!
Thank you for the great review you have given us. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in Beckside Cottage. Best wishes Stephen &Heather Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in the centre of a great village."
A short stroll from the village shop, a pub, and the village green. Some great walking just from out the front door.

"Beautiful cottage set in a great location to explore the lakes and North of England."
The village is a lovely quiet place with enough locally to mean you don't have to drive every time you need something! Great pub and cafes nearby and some great walks from cottage doorstep. Would highly recommend the cottage to anyone and the owners were lovely and quick to respond to any questions. 100% would stay here again!
Thank you for your feedback, we look forward to welcoming you to our cottage sometime in the future. Property Owner

"A really nice cottage, we were comfortable and had everything we needed, a home from home!"
Thank you for the welcome basket, milk from the farm and fresh flowers, a lovely little touch! Caldbeck is a lovely village, with a great pub, shop and cafes. We enjoyed some beautiful walks from the cottage door, and were also based in a good location to explore the Northern Fells. We hope to return again!
We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Beckside Cottage. Thank you for your great feedback it always much appreciated. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

"Small but comfortable and cosy, adequate for 2/3 adults."
The owners, Stephen and Heather, do literally put themselves out to welcome you and visit later to make sure all is ok. And yes, the welcome pack is the best we have ever had. The village has a lot going for it, with a good shop and milk you buy from a farm machine. The pub is good, but can get busy. Certainly sheep wander freely, and we saw the occasional cow holding up the traffic. If inclined, several Wainwrights can be climbed in the vicinity, in an area which is quieter, wilder and different to the rest of the Lakes. Parking can be awkward for a big car, but there is a free car park opposite which is very popular. Thank you for a good week.
Thank you for your your feedback it is much appreciated. Best wishes Stephen and Heather Property Owner

Excellently situated too in a lovely village.

"Exceptional cottage and location!"
The cottage was cleaned thoroughly prior to our arrival and well equipped including kindling and logs for the woodburning stove and the best welcome package we have ever received. The owners are friendly, genuinely care that you enjoy your stay and nothing is too much trouble. The location of the cottage is superb, only a short drive to Keswick yet lovely and quiet with a fabulous local country pub. We will definitely return to Beckside Cottage and be recommending to our friends.

"Gorgeous cottage in a small village."
A lovely welcome basket and wine left by the owners which was a lovely touch.Only one slight oversight-no charging/shaver point to charge my electric toothbrush.The Oddfellows Arms does good pub food but book ahead as it’s always busy,the cod loin special was excellent!

"Stephen and Heather were amicable and thoughtful hosts."

"Beckside was an idyllic cottage in an idyllic location."
The village is a little gem with wonderful walks, fabulous streams for children to play in, a nice village pub and a lovely stream side cafe for waffles and milkshake. It’s such a relaxing place to stay and the owners Stephen and Heather have thought of everything! The little courtyard is a delight for alfresco breakfasts and taking in the surrounding countryside! Our 2 little boys adored it and we got to spend lots of lovely family time enjoying the simple things in life and getting back to nature. The boys loved the duck pond, streams, waffles and the rope swing on the walk to Hesket. There are such great days out too about 1/2 hour drive away the highlights for us were Mirehouse on Bassenthwaite and Dodd Wood, parking at Keswick Launch (nipping to see Castlerigg Stone circle on the way) and playing on the shores at Derwentwater and the waterfalls at Aira Force walking up Gowbarrow to see amazing views of Ullswater! Such an inspiring part of the country to visit. Thank you Stephen and Heather for your generosity and for helping us make amazing memories

"A lovely cottage in a lovely location with easy access to all we wanted to do."
The cottage had everything we needed, and more, and was clean and exceptionally cosy to come back to after a day out. Lovely gifts waiting for us from the owners, Stephen and Heather, when we arrived, a really nice touch. Stephen and Heather were excellent hosts, making us feel very welcome and there if we needed anything. The whole experience was superb and we will definitely go back if holidaying in the area again.

"Beckside cottage was located perfectly for us, in such an idyllic little village called Caldbeck, and a great location for getting around the northern part of the Lake District."
The cottage itself was so enchanting and charming, we absolutely loved its cosy feel, especially with the fire going at night. As hosts, Stephen and Heather were wonderful, leaving a lovely little collection of tasty treats for our arrival, plenty of wood for the fire, and on hand for any questions and advice. We would both thoroughly recommend this cottage to any couple or small family in a heartbeat!

About the location
CALDBECK
Wigton 7.5 miles; Carlisle 12 miles; Keswick 16 miles; Cockermouth 17 miles.
The charming Cumbrian village of Caldbeck is situated on the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful moorland and fells. It’s a classic stone built village with a church, pub, village green and duck pond. The church dates back to the 12th century and is famous for being the resting place of the renowned huntsman John Peel. Although in every sense a ‘traditional working village’, the local craft centre at Priest Mill and the riverside walks to the Howk gorge, draw visitors to Caldbeck. The village is an ideal base for the northern Lakes, the market town of Keswick, as well as Lakes Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The natural beauty of the Solway coast, well-known for its golf courses and the town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth are close by, whilst also within driving distance is the cathedral city of Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders.
