• "Really great cottage in a wonderful location."

  We had everything we needed and Millie was always available if we needed any help. When we arrived the table was set with a bottle of bucks fizz which was a nice touch. I have read previous negative reviews and there are some tired areas in the bathroom regarding the sealant around the bath. This was not an issue for us but however people do complain.We loved it however and hope to return one day. A great host and great location.

  Thank you for your great review. It was lovely having you both as guests. Welcome back any time!! Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, surprisingly spacious and warm despite the damp weather and no heating."

  Hosts Millie & Richard attentive & welcoming without being intrusive. Very well placed for exploring the area with lots of leaflets/info for things to do & places to visit. Would recommend and hope to return soon.

  Thanks for your feedback. A bit puzzled about the heating as there are electric wall radiators and also a wood burner if it’s really chilly Property Owner

• "Nice cottage in a good location."

  Village pub and micro brewery 5 minutes walk from the cottage was worth the visit, good ale and lovely friendly owners. I have given a low score for cleaning the bathroom tiles are in need of a deep clean and I am surprised nobody has commented on it because it must of been some time since the tiles were cleaned there was a heavy build up of black mould on the tiles above the bath all along the bath edge and at the bottom of the shower screen. Only 1 bath towel and 1 had towel for two people. The garden rockery is full of weeds and needs attention. The outlook to the side of the cottage was not very pleasant it faces on to the owners garage workshop doors not closed so was not a very pleasant view.

  Sorry you were disappointed with the cottage. I am waiting for my maintenance guy to give the bathroom a thorough overhaul. This should happen in the next couple of weeks. No idea why there were so few towels a rare oversight as there are usually 2 bath sheets 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels. I would have brought more over if Id been made aware sincere apologies Property Owner

• "A thoroughly enjoyable week in Beck Cottage despite the unfavourable weather."

  A perfect base to get about and see the Lake District. The cottage provided everything you could ever wish for. And Millie and Richard were so polite, friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend Beck Cottage as the perfect place to stay in the Lake District. Kind regards Tone and Gill Gibbons.

• "Beck cottage is a lovely cosy cottage in February with central heating and an efficient, easy to use wood burner."

  It also has plenty of natural light and we were able to enjoy some winter sun, too. We think it would be lovely in summer with the French windows open and a view out onto the rockery garden. It was the perfect base for us to explore the beautiful area around Ulverston.

  Thank you for your super feedback. Here’s hoping for a warm summer so guests can enjoy opening the French doors and enjoying the sunshine!! Property Owner

• "Nice, comfortable cottage."

  A little attention to detail would make it very nice. For example a provision of a toilet brush, weeding the garden, cleaning inside windows and cills. Having had smokers there, a fresh coat of paint wouldn’t go amiss, we tried by opening door and windows but couldn’t get rid of the smell. Perhaps sensitive smoke alarms would be a deterrent to future visitors. On the whole though, we had a good time, thank you.

  Thank you for the feedback and for scoring us so highly. I'm afraid I have an aversion to toilet brushes but I do clean the toilet very thoroughly by hand at every changeover. It is a non-smoking cottage and we hadn't been aware that the previous guests had been smoking inside until I came to do changeover. Apologies that some of the smell appears to have lingered. I only thought myself when I was doing changeover yesterday that I need to get my decorator in at some time - I'll need to fit this around bookings of course as the smell of paint is not to everyone's taste.

  The lounge TV always turned itself off after a short time for some reason, but otherwise a great place to stay.

  . We were fortunate that the owners Millie and Richard Scott agreed to move our dates 1 year on. The Govt permitted our 2021 dates in 'Step 2 of the roadmap'. Although National Trust sites were partially opened Grounds only, with Bars and restaurant's outside seating only, the weather was kind so we did enjoy our break away from a very long Winter Lockdown. Beck Cottage is just the perfect place for 2 people, warm, cosy and the facilities are excellent. You will not be disappointed....

  Beck Cottage was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The owners Millie and Richard just couldn't do enough for you. We arrived on our motorbikes full of luggage dying for a cup of tea but didn't have any milk, before you could say anything Millie was there with a jug of milk. There was a bottle of fizzy on the table and some lovely fresh eggs, and plenty of wood for the burner. The bedroom was brilliant, you could retire upstairs to bed and carry on watching T.V. from either the sofa or even you bed . We will definitely be going back.

  Beck Cottage is exactly how it's described, and looks exactly like the pictures. The directions give by Millie and Richard are accurate, and they're great hosts. Millie was there on arrival, and took us through everything. Everything we could need and more, was already there. The cottage is so tranquil too, a great bonus. We'd love to visit again and explore the area more.

  In a beautiful location; ideal for visiting lots of Lake District attractions. We spent a week here in October and were extremely luck with the weather but still appreciated returning to the cottage in the evenings to sit buy the log burner and then retire to a large, comfy bedroom. Our hosts Millie and Richard were excellent, great communication before arrival and on arrival and we really appreciated the fresh eggs and BucksFizz. We couldn’t find anything that was lacking in the cottage. Kitchen well equipped. Great having dishwasher and washing machine. Would love to visit again in the future.

  Millie and Robert were excellent hosts with great local knowledge. Would recommend a visit to anyone and will definitely be back at some point. Ulverston has some great places to eat and drink and The Old Man of Coniston is certainly a challenging walk/climb and not for beginners, but the jewel in the crown is Coniston Water. A full lake trip on the Steam Yacht Gondola is a must and was the highlight of the trip. Silecroft, beach is fabulous and Piel Island is also worth a visit. Loads to do and see and great if you just want to relax and read a book or go explore the many sights the lakes have to offer. Enjoy!!!

  It looked nice from the pictures on the site but in reality it was even better. The people who owned it were very friendly and helpful without being interfering. The little hamlet was idyllic and everyone was friendly. The surrounding area was beautiful to explore and the lakes were a short drive away. We had a lovely holiday that we will always have very happy memories of. Sykes are always easy to deal with, we've booked several holidays with them and have always had a very positive experience. Thank you Sykes, I wouldn't book a holiday with anyone else.
