Property code: SZ064

This cosy cottage is full of character and makes a fabulous family holiday home, set in a delightful spot between the mountains and the sea in the picturesque Lake District village of Gosforth.

Escape to the Western Lakes and lead a dog’s life from the comfort of this charming cottage that’s perfect for four humans and two hounds. The historic village of Gosforth is in an excellent position for exploring the Cumbrian Coastline and the Lake District in equal measure, scampering along the dog-friendly shores of Seascale Beach (3 miles), or taking a quiet turn around Wastwater to soak up the views. Weary from your escapades, the roaring wood burner awaits in your cosy abode, best enjoyed with all your favourite treats.

Homely and welcoming with all the contemporary conveniences you need for a relaxing stay, your accommodation is well suited to families and friendship groups. Cast aside your muddy outdoor gear in the porch and move through to the kitchen/diner for family meals, not forgetting to slip the waggy-tailed members a few tasty morsels. The lounge is the heart of the home with its snug furniture and crackling wood burner, and there is SkyTV and a DVD for entertainment. Upstairs, the children will love the bunk bedroom whilst the adults choose between the two remaining bedrooms after a long soak in the bathroom. Rover will have a ball in the partially enclosed garden while you sip drinks on the patio, and there’s off-road parking for one large car or two smaller ones.

Discover the marvellous landscape from your doorstep, embracing the thrill of the rolling fells and mountainous landscape that surrounds peaceful Wastwater (6.5 miles) and Ennerdale (13.5 miles). Scafell Pike beckons for the most adventurous of guests 15 miles away, but you’ll also have the summits of Pillar (19 miles) and Great Gable (9.5 miles) too. The coast is 3 miles away and has even more pup-approved delights to discover, plus the views across the water are mesmerising.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 super-king-size zip-and-link which can be made up as a twin on request, 1 bunk bedroom
  • Sleeps 4+2 - please note the bunk bedroom is small and suitable for children only

This is a wizard cottage to stay in. It has everything you'll need, and with books and a record collection, it really does feel homely. It is very close to Seascale beach and for staggering up Scarfell Pike.

Well equipped cottage with lovely enclosed garden in a good spot to explore the western lakes. Getting out of the parking space onto the road was a bit of an issue and locals had little patience to wait. Mattress very firm for our liking and we didnt sleep too well.

A lovely cottage in a quiet and less busy part of the lake district. All mod cons, and a nice garden which our dog loved for playing with her ball. Wastwater was nearby and beautiful, and the beaches were fantastic for dog walking. Enjoyed walks from the cottage, and also enjoyed the amenity in the village of Gosforth, including the nearby BudgeonsRead more shop, and Gosforth hall hotel, which even has a pub quiz on a Sunday night!

Excellent cottage. Great location in centre of pretty village with plenty of amenities. The cottage is wanting for nothing - so well equipped, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, lovely enclosed garden, parking right next to property. The owners have ensured that all bases are covered. Really responsive communication from owner & agent. We thoRead moreroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay at Beck Place Cottage. Cannot recommend highly enough. Hide
