Beckside Reviews

We found Beckside to have everything we needed. It was in a perfect position, the garden was beautiful and the views were great. The shower head in the shower room does not stay up so it has to be used as a handheld if you don't want it in your face on your hair if propped up behind the upright. Please fix this!
Lovely property with great views from the outdoor seating area. It is well furnished, plenty of space for 6, and the kitchen was very well stocked. Tandem parking on the drive is big enough for two vehicles. Walk to town was 5 mins and to the lake at Waterhead c15 mins. Lots of thought has gone into making this a really nice and comfortable place to stay and we enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a great week at the cottage. Everything is top quality, beds are so comfortable and we had everything we needed. So nice to have outdoor space for a nice cuppa while reading. Super close to the town centre yet very quiet around the cottage. We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this perfect cottage. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The location is great, quiet but close to town. A great welcome pack too. We will return next year.
We have stayed in many places in Ambleside and this is one of the best. Great location wonderfully secluded and quiet. Very comfortable. We will definitely be back.
Sandra
Excellent cottage. Had everything we needed. Very quiet but very close to centre of Ambleside. Great that there was parking for 2 cars. We really enjoyed our stay.
May 2026 Brilliant location. Really comfortable beds and good to have the option of a relaxing bath as well as a shower. Great views from the patio particularly in the early evening. So close to town yet quiet and peaceful We had a very enjoyable stay Worth noting it worked well for a guest with mobility issues
A fabulous cottage in an amazing location, the views are stunning. Beckside is lovely, secluded and very well equipped. Its also so close to the centre of Ambleside. Definitely will be back.
Great location and facilities. So close to town yet really peaceful and quiet. Thoughtful touches around the place and a generous welcome pack. We really enjoyed our stay.
A lovely place in a great location
We had a lovely stay and appreciate all the amenities and welcome pack which made our stay even better. Lovely property, beautifully maintained and lovely and clean. Thanks also for introducing us to Cumbrian Tea with such a generous pack! If I had to offer one improvement, it would be for the bedroom drawers to be hoovered out. But thats it, because it was a lovely place to stay and everything else was spot on. Many thanks
Joseph
Really nice property with good amenities such as washing machine and dryer. Close to town but away from all the noise.
Judith
Beckside is a lovely bungalow, spotlessly maintained and very well equipped. After long days out and about in the Lakes it was a pleasure to get back and enjoy the home comforts. Anyone with mobility issues might find the climb up the steep hill to Beckside a challenge. We did request a cot and high chair for the two year old in our party and whilst the cot was provided unfortunately there was no high chair. The only negative point was the glass coffee table in the lounge, which for was a hazard due to having a toddler with us.

We had a wonderful holiday in Beckside! We loved its locatie, it is a peacefull place and the towncentre is very nearby. We would like to come back next year! We were with my parents and our two teenage soms and We had enough space for the 6 of us. Thank you for a wonderwel stay. Kind regards, Fam. Stuiver
Lovely property a convenient short walk from Ambleside it is uphill on the way back. Wonderful views. Lots of lovely walks from Ambleside too and convenient for buses. Good parking for 2 cars and on the flat. Garden path gets very slippy when wet, might benefit from a pressure wash. Property was very clean, well maintained and decorated to a good standard. Main bedroom had lots of storage however the second double room had very little. As the twin room is slightly larger it may be better to put the double in there with some storage? Kitchen is quite small and the table takes a lot of space, lovely utility area. Very pleasant terrace to sit on and enjoy the view. Would recommend.
