Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"What a lovely week we had in this excellent cottage."
The view of Blencathra from the breakfast table was stunning.
The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
It had a secure garden, which was a blessing for our dogs.
The location was fantastic. Lots of walks from the doorstep, including a beautiful walk into Keswick; 2 good pubs in the village and easy access to Keswick

"Beech Croft is a beautiful cottage with stylish interiors and very cosy vibes."
We could not have found a better place to stay. The sight of the mountain was a beautiful view to wake up to and we loved seeing the neighbour’s chickens running up the field every morning, full of joy! The cottage provided everything that we needed including things for our dog. Highly recommend a stay in this lovely place.

Absolutely lovely property! Nicely decorated throughout and very cosy and comfy of an evening. Also very well set up for dogs, with a great utility room!
We will be back when we stay close to Keswick again! Would 100% recommend to anyone.
Lovely food at the Horse and Farrier up the road, would advise booking at least the day before for an evening meal, as they do get very busy!
Thank you for another great stay!

"Great property in a fantastic location."
Very spacious, sociable kitchen/diner, handy utility room, very clean and tidy.
Beds super comfortable.
On a personal note as we have 1 nervous dog, we would have preferred a gate to enclose the back patio area so we knew he was safe. The garden is enclosed when the gates are closed.

"Beech Croft is a beautifully presented, spotlessly clean cottage."
Lots of extra touches provided, including fresh eggs from the owners chickens, to enjoy. The views both back and front from the picture windows, are amazing. We spent ages just watching the light change on the fells. As well as watching the wild rabbits play in the next door wild garden. The Horse and Farrier just down the road is a lovely authentic coaching inn, serving great food. We had a fabulous week despite significant rainfall - nothing dampened our enjoyment of staying in this wonderful cottage.

Great that the garden is secure so we could let our dog out and know he's closed off from the road. Great views from all windows (we would have preferred a blind up in the bathroom window). Lovely to sit outside in the sunshine and plenty of parking.
Would definitely return to this cottage.

"Lovely property, nice setting friendly and helpful owners."
Downside on arrival there was no hot water. After a day's walking I was looking forward to a nice bath,
no chance as water was cold, no hot water ag all. Plus did not work out how to get the shower working. So got quite chilly and turned up the heating and wet to bed earlier to get warm.
Suggest guidance ( just a sentence) is included in the welcome pack to advise there is a switch outside the bathroom which people need to put on before the shower will work. This is a practice none of is had come across before.
