"This was our second time at the cottage."
Our party of 10 from age 2 to 84 found the cottage delightful and well equipped. The youngsters missed WiFi but got used to the idea of managing without it. It’s a wonderful peaceful location and we particularly loved being able to walk on footpaths to the lake, into Coniston and seeing the tiny lambs in the field next to the house. The mattresses were rather hard sadly and the House Book information needs updating on recycling but we enjoyed the underfloor heating and would love to return one day.

"Have stayed with Skye’s several places but this is the first time that the owner called me on the day I arrived to say there was no towels ."
On the Skyes information it’s says no tea towels and take your own beach towels. There was loads of tea towels and bedding but no towels. As the other guests had started their journey I had to take towels for 3 people. In the owners book it says no towels supplied. Very unusual and inconvenient on the day of travelling. The Sykes website details should say that if that is normal for this cottage
We are sorry for any inconvenience but had you contacted us no later than 48 hours prior to your arrival, as advised by Sykes this could have been avoided. This is to get the access details for the cottage and for you to ask any questions.
As you had not contacted us we rang you on the morning of 3rd Nov when we advised with the exception of towels all linen including a good supply of tea towels were available for your stay.
We have checked with Sykes regarding your reference to beach towels and they have confirmed their Tick list suggests guests take their own beach towels and any towels for pets even if the cottage description states bath towels are available.

It was very well equipped. Loads to see in the surrounding area and to do for the little kids.
Just one gripe the wi fi obviously we were out during the day because of the nice weather but I'll bet that's what is putting people off coming to your lovely cottage.

"Becks Fold is in an ideal location for low level walks and swimming in Coniston, as well as the usual higher level walks."
There is a pub within 2 minutes walk, as well as Coniston village shops, restaurants and pubs within 10 minutes walk along the old railway line. There is very little need to use cars. The house is very well equipped, but there is no wi-fi. The landlord is easy to contact for help when needed.

"We travelled as three couples for our annual pre Christmas getaway, we were certainly not disappointed with Becks Fold the welcome pack was very much appreciated."
The house was large and comfortable with everything you needed apart from towels, obviously due to covid I presume.
The beds were comfortable possibly a little soft for us after four nights though.
The location is great as just a 10min walk into Coniston with the Ship Inn 2 min walk great welcome good traditional pub with great pub grub too.
All in all a great few days at a lovely home and location, would definitely recommend and return soon hopefully.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Becks Fold."
The house was very clean and comfortable and the facilities were perfect for what we as a large group needed it for. It was very impressive with regard to the space it offered and the comfort of feeling very much at home. Everyone was impressed although there were a couple of comments that the single beds weren’t comfortable. There was also comments about the water pouring from the guttering during the night during heavy rain which kept them awake. I didn’t experience this but others in the party did. This didn’t distract from the fact that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

"The owners of the property were lovely and really helpful and so was the local lady who looks after the property on a day to day basis."
The property had great facilities and a brilliant location just ten minutes walk from the Coniston lakeside. There was some lovely walks and public footpaths from very close to the house. The property itself was clean and friendly with a lovely wood burner and supply of logs, as well as a jacuzzi bath. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and all the essentials are provided including good quality washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, etc.
We have stayed in the northern lakes many times (Derwentwater, Ullswater, etc) and this was our first time staying in the southern lakes. We found Coniston a little less touristy than the northern lakes which was great. Coniston has its own boating centre where you can hire all sorts of boats, paddle boards, kayaks etc. Grizedale forest is only 20 mins drive away (with lovely walks as well as Go-Ape etc). Windermere and Kendal are pretty close too.
We highly recommend Becks Fold.

"Becks Fold was an absolutely amazing place to stay."
We were welcomed with a beautiful basket of bread, cereal and wine. Everything is organised in such a thoughtful manner for guests to stay and self accommodate and catered comfortably. We had both my parents ( from the US), my in laws, my 9 month old baby and my 2 year old and my 2 sister’s ( from US) and my husband and I stay at the cottage. It comfortably accommodated us. It is very spacious. The cottage looked exactly like the photos but felt even bigger in person. The front of the house is not shown in the photos, so when you arrive it will look like a bungalow but the house is built on a lovely hill next to a Brooke. In the morning we would have coffee in the garden and listen to the water streaming down. Pure relaxation. The cottage comes with high chair, cot, kids toys, board games and garden games. We were blessed with lovely weather so we had a bbq one night! And you are a 2 min walk to Ships Inn a local pub. And a 10 min walk to the lake and you can see the sheeps graze as you stroll down. My kids loved it! It was our first time at the Lake District. Great location to drive to the Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth and Lake Windermere attractions and also great location to just stay in Coniston and enjoyed the lake. Everything was perfect and we surly will book again at this cottage as another family get together holiday. Thank you!

"This was the best holiday our family has ever had."
Becks Fold was amazing and had everything and more that we needed. I wish I could of spoken to the owners as they have done a terrific job in building the perfect home.
Coniston is just a dream and if I could move there I would in a heartbeat. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.
I would return there in the next couple of years and there would be only one place I would stay and that’s Becks
How you can get such a perfect place is incredible and hats need to go off again to the owners.
10/10 holiday. I am getting emotional just writing this. Thank you.
If there was something to change for the owners it would be the bin situation as the dustbin men never came and all the rubbish was in bags next to the wheelie bin.

The owner was very informative and helpful, which made everything perfect for the family. Everything worked and was kept in very good order. Good fridge / cooking facilities / dishwasher / washing machine etc. etc. everything you could want on a mini family break.
If I had to be ultra picky, and I really don't want to be, the only thing missing was wifi. With so may people there, 1 or 2 that still had to do a little work to do, so It would have helped and eased a little work frustration.
