  • "A very relaxing location, we so enjoyed our stay!"

    The house is very well equipped, and, although the hot tub was slow to heat, as we were there for the week it wasn't an issue, and we didn't contact the owner, it is an added luxury. Comfy beds and towels. Fabulously well cleaned. An all together fantastic house. Thank you!

  • "The only negative feedback would be that the hot tub wasn’t consistently hot enough to be able to enjoy it throughout the weekend."

    We had to wait until late evening on Friday to enjoy and then Saturday it took a long time to get to a suitable temperature before we could use it. Would expect it to be on constantly throughout our stay so we could use at any time.

    The property has everything you need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Extremely clean, very comfy beds, good quality furniture and the decor looked freshly decorated. The cottage was cleaned halfway through our stay (including all the bedding and towels changed) to the same high standard as on our arrival at a time arranged with us. The owners are very friendly and more than happy to help should an issue arise. It is situated in the countryside with stunning views but within a 10 minute drive of Kendal.

    Absolutely beautiful area, countryside views, the stream & those lambs so adorable. The property was 5 star, everything you could ever need, every detail thought of, no expense spared. It's not often you find a holiday rental with such a high quality interior & furniture. Everything was perfect. Our only issue (which was not with the property) was that Sykes told us we could enter at 12 on the day of our arrival & leave at 12 on departure, which led to us still sitting enjoying the view when the cleaner came! I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here but I want to keep it for myself

  • ""Our annual friends' retreat led us to Beck View this year, and it was a complete delight!"

    This cottage is an absolute gem boasting breathtaking views and a clean and modern, well-equipped setup. With 2 en-suite double bedrooms upstairs and 2 more rooms downstairs, along with 2 bathrooms, it comfortably accommodated our group of 6. The garden, including a hot tub on the patio, which added an extra touch of luxury to our stay. A 20-minute walk led us to a welcoming pub where we enjoyed delicious food and a warm atmosphere. The only minor hiccup was the living room seating – a long corner sofa that tended to move apart while we sat, but it was a trivial issue that didn't bother us too much. Beck View won our hearts so much so that we immediately re-booked it for next year! Looking forward to creating more unforgettable memories in what is a really lovely and fabulous retreat

  • "Although this Bungalow was advertised as luxury i would not have put it in that category."

    lacking cupboard space, seating, out door seating on table and chairs. needed a seating area that was covered. No garden and not much outdoor space. he only facility was the hot tub which we had several issues with. hose pie was looked away, and had to fill will washing up bowl, water was very unclean to look at although when asking they pointed out it was due to the heavy rain fall and was safe to drink? but cleaning your teeth and drinking pale brown water was a no go. bedrooms upstairs very comfortable and fantastic showers, very small ensuite bathroom down stairs and hard to access for someone with mobility issues. lounge and dinning area very basic, table and chairs with L shaped sofa. kitchen lacking in lots of thing, dishwasher seal rubber came off after every use. cooker hard to use no storage space for food to say it slept 8 people. very tight road to enter the property so if your not good at reversing don't book.

    The hot tub had developed a leak during your stay which is now rectified as is the dishwasher. We did attend to refill the hot tub for you once we were made aware of the issue, and would have attended sooner if we had been made aware. The water passed a statutory water test at the beginning of July. It goes through a filtration package to ensure this. It can suffer discolouration during periods of heavy rain. The road is single track as are numerous rural properties, and is very quiet Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely Christmas at Beck View."

    It is a lovely property and was perfect for 2 families coming together. The hot tub was fantastic and was enjoyable night and day, come rain or sun and we had plenty of rain! We found the beds very comfortable and enjoyed having smart TVs in all bedrooms. The water pressure was great, sometimes more than one shower was on at once and no one suffered with low pressure. The sofa was comfortable but it was so annoying every time it moved when you got on and off, we were constantly moving each piece back into place. It would be ideal if they could be stuck together somehow and when they moved, you saw the amount of dust under them! We had no problem cooking for 7 of us, we did find the plates small and thankfully some of the party lived locally as we had to get larger pans as found them on the small side. The property was lovely and warm, too warm at times and we sometimes struggled to control the heating but it was so cosy! I would say reading the other reviews, we do agree with majority of what was said. The cleaning could have been better, dust on the lamp shades, the showers in the corners were dirty, behind cabinets we found a bit of dust but nothing that warranted any callouts, it’s more just a pointer for the owner and cleaner really. The property is self catering and we understand that but there was no cleaning spray so we had to go and buy our own, no salt or pepper, only 1 toilet roll per bathroom is start off where previously we have had 2 in other self catering properties. We found damage to the ceiling in the lounge which needs looking into but I suppose with back to back bookings, it is difficult to find the find. We noticed the hot tub cooled down on our last evening but again, nothing of too much concern. The owner very kindly left us 2 bottles of Prosecco and a box of chocolates for our arrival which was lovely, thank you. We also had some confusion with the bed configuration which the owner responded too quickly, again, thank you. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and have left with wonderful memories, there are just a few things that I feel could be improved to make it a solid 5 out of 5! I would definitely return and would recommend Beck View to others.

    Thankyou for your feedback. We have taken your comments on board. The comments regarding cleaning have been passed to the cleaning team. I have added salt and pepper and some cleaning spray. Property Owner

  • "A spacious property, with easy access to Kendal and the lake district and just 4 minutes from the M6 so easy access to many other places such as Morecambe and Hawes (Yorkshire Dales)."

    Due to the amount of rain the beck was running quite full and was a little noisy at night when all was quiet. Watching, from the inside sitting area, the squirrels and birds having their breakfast of berries on the bushes was a lovely start to each day. A lovely country retreat for the week.

  • "We were very happy with everything about this property."

    The only thing that I need to mention is the fact it might be an idea to have a few more tea mugs.There are 8 but one did have a large crack down it and the liquid slowly leaked out. So maybe a few spares would be an idea. Other than that everything was perfect.

  • "The house was gorgeous."

    Immaculate condition, high quality fixtures and fittings. Lovely peaceful location. Ideal for relaxation, but a short drive to Kendal and supermarkets. I can't recommend the house enough.

  • "Fabulous place to stay."

    It looks as if everything has been thought through very carefully and it’s very well appointed and also very spacious. Although it’s next to a road, it’s one that’s only used by locals or farmers, so it’s actually very quiet. Sheep and cows in the fields opposite are the main view, which makes it a very tranquil stay. The hot tub is an added bonus. Kendal is only a short drive away so for us it was all positives and no negatives. Even the weather was good enough to sit on the terrace to eat breakfast on a couple of days! I’m already recommending it to friends! Great place to get away from it all.

  • "The cottage was gorgeous and the views were amazing especially when the sun was setting."

    The place was so clean, fresh and modern the only thing that we would say is the check in was late 5pm so we felt like we missed a full day and the check out was early 10am so we thought it could’ve been later considering check in wasn’t till 5pm but overall the cottage was brilliant would definitely go back.

About the location

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
