The cottage is spacious, well equipped, comfortable and beautifully located. It is only a few minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside. A very steep hill to walk up on the way back which some people may struggle with but it isn't all that long. The setting is peaceful and the only noise we heard was the sound of the water rushing down Stock Ghyll which is among the trees at the bottom of the garden. We would definitely go back to Beech View.
Nothing to add to the high rating of other guests. Only cautionary comment is that the grounds are not suited to unsupervised children due to the steep drop into the river.

Really good accommodation no hesitation to book again. Everything as it should be and wanting for nothing. Contacted Andrew as there was only 1 dishwasher tablet left dropped some off same day and told us about recycling. Brilliant customer service thanks. We were fortunate to have fantastic sunny week so made use of the outdoor furniture and egg. the only small improvement could be a little trim on the top of the beech trees to let more sun onto all the patio. Brilliant and definitely on our list of accommodation to return to

Our 2nd stay at Beech View, this time with friends. In most ways this is the perfect cottage for a holiday in the Lakes good access to the services of Ambleside, a very useful drying room, a well equipped kitchen with lots of space for food storage, a comfortable lounge and a decent shower. When the bulb over the dining table blew one evening a brief call to the owners led to a new bulb being delivered within 10 minutes! The only drawbacks were the very soft mattresses not good for our friend with chronic back pain. A board under one of the mattresses might work.

A really comfortable and well equipped property. Would definitely book again.
Fantastic home from home very clean and comfortable. In a great location.
Our second stay at Beech View. Good accommodation, great location.
Lovely house, very clean and comfortable. Great location, near the town .
Maggie
This is a lovely house, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside. The house was very clean and so well equipped its so nice to stay somewhere that has enough glasses, cups etc that you don't have to put the dishwasher on after every meal! The rooms are spacious and uncluttered, the beds are comfy and we had everything we needed during our stay. If we were ever to return we would happily stay here again.
Callum
Fantastic holiday! We all had a lovely time. Clean cottage, comfortable beds and the children loved the big garden! In a great location to explore. Thank you
Graeme
Beech view is a really lovely house to stay in. It is well equipped, was very comfortable and is in a great position to explore not only Ambleside but the Lake District as a whole. The owners were very helpful when we had a couple of questions to ask. Overall we were delighted with out stay and will definitely book up again in the future. Thanks
Francesca
We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The board games provided were an added bonus and well used thanks to the weather we had this visit! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you
Michael
Really pleased with the property, clean and comfortable. We would have liked another key to the property but made good use of the key safe. One minor problem was the lack of a hook on the bathroom and shower room doors for our clothes. Overall though I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to family and friends.
A well equipped, comfortable property. Within walking distance of Ambleside centre. On a quiet private road with adequate parking.
Richard
A very well thoughtout cottage with everything needed for s week in the Lakes, including copious amounts of storage space and very little clutter. It would have been nice to have got the bathroom TV working, just for the novelty value! We'd like to visit again.
We stay here every year and love the property. However, I unfortunately need to work during our stay, and the internet is quite unreliable, frequently dropping out and requiring a reboot. Please consider upgrading it.
Spent over half an hour trying to find the property. Directions from main road confusing. Suggest owner puts the house name by property hedge PRIVATE signage also off putting!! Property ideal for our sray also very peaceful
Lovely comfortable accommodation which was well equipped and the location perfect. It would have been better to have a front door key as well as the one back door key.
We had a great stay, its a perfect location! The house was clean and well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The only downside we found was the downstairs bathroom. It gets a lot of condensation and the water runs out onto the main floor when having a shower as there isn't a tray. This makes the bath mat so squelchy and not pleasant to have a nice shower! It would also be good to mention that cleaning supplies aren't provided which is understandable however good to be made clear to know what to bring. Overall it was a great week!
We really enjoyed our stay, so much so that we have booked for next May! ! It is very comfortable and suits our family perfectly. The kids enjoyed the garden and games. We appreciated the large kitchen, and generally the house is really well stocked and has everything we needed, and more. The location is quiet and only 5 minutes walk from town, noting it requires a little exertion up the hill which suited us fine. It's a perfect location for hiking the Fairfield Horseshoe, visiting Stock Ghyll waterfall and other smaller family friendly walks like Wansfell. Close access to the Langdales is also a great benefit if you're keen on bagging Wainwrights, like us! The only suggestion we have is adding some antibacterial spray to the kitchen. Highly recommend staying at Beech View, it is a lovely home for a holiday in the Lakes. Thank you, David and Zoe from Woking.
