"This was our 2nd time at Beechcroft."
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.

"We had a lovely stay at Beech Croft."
The cottage is comfortable and in a great location, with amazing views front and back. The owners left us some fresh eggs from their chickens which was a nice touch. This is our 4th visit to the village and our first stay at Beech Croft, we will be back.

"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.

"Beech croft is a brilliant cottage and in an excellent location Threlkeld is perfect for Blencathra, and you can access all areas of the Lakes very quickly."
Would definitely recommend and would stay again for sure.
-
"We have had a lovely weekend - the house is in an excellent position to explore the Lakes."
It was very comfortable and clean and there were lots of extra things added for dogs which made our stay very easy. The welcome pack including freshly laid eggs was a lovely touch - bright yellow yolks and they were delicious! It is a real find and we hope to return soon.

"Lovely place to stay."
Owners are friendly and helpful. There’s two pubs in the village one does take away. Nicely enclosed grounds once the main gates are closed. Comfortable beds. Lots to do around the area for both walkers and site seekers
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely little village."
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.
-
"A lovely property in a beautiful setting."
A good base for walking if you don’t want to use the car. The garden was secure for our beagle. We were warm and comfortable given the disappointing weather.

"We had a lovely stay at Beech Croft."
The cottage was very well kept and presented and in a great location. Threlbeck is a nice little village with a couple of pubs and lots of walks on your doorstep. It is just a 5 min drive to Keswick. Highly recommended!

-
"Beech Croft is a lovely house which is very well located."
The house has everything you need for a lovely week on the lakes. Keswick, Blencathra, Aira Force, Ambleside and Windermere are within easy reach and the bus to Keswick/Penrith stops outside the house.

"We've returned for New Year's break."
(It's our second time staying at Beech Croft.) The cottage is really cosy and we loved the Christmas decoration put up by the owners. The house is very clean and well maintained. We just loved the property and location and will definitly come back again.
-
"For us and our first Christmas away from home, the cottage was perfect."
The cottage was warm, comfortable, beautifully decorated with everything we needed - cooking Christmas dinner was a breeze! Very comfortable beds too. The views, both front and back were stunning, regardless of the weather, helped along with the open fire which we loved. The owners were friendly, helpful and kindly left us some thoughtful welcome gifts, which were appreciated. We would certainly consider returning at any point in the year, we had a brilliant stay!
-
"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.

"Absolutely perfect home from home."
Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Will definitely be coming back next year.

"First time staying in a cottage."
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. No issues with the cottage. It was clean, warm and easy to keep it so, even with 2 dogs. Threlkeld has no street lights if out in the dark beware. There is two rustic village pubs and a cafe, Lots of great walks along with the old railway line path

"Absolutely loved the place!"

Had everything we needed. We loved it and would come back :-)

"The cottage is nice and clean."
The view at the back looking towards Blencathra is amazing. The location is good. We enjoyed our morning walk/ jog to the railway path. It’s also very dog friendly. This is our first family trip with our 10 month old cockapoo. She’s really enjoy as well.

"We have just returned from a wonderful week at Beech Croft."
The cottage is delightful and in a great location in the village of Threlkeld with many great walks possible from the cottage itself. The cottage was well presented and had all the amenities our family required and expected for a week in The Lake District. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We had need to contact the owners during the week and they were very helpful and responded in a timely manor. I would not hesitate to recommend Beech Croft as a place to stay.
