Stepping into the property, the entrance hall has plenty of space for your coats and boots. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features a roaring wood burner and a TV.

We had a perfect stay at Beck cottage for a week in February. The location was idyllic, beautiful scenery and walks. We were so chilled we didn't even bother to turn on the TV. Our TV for the week was the log fire!!! Loved our neighbours- the goats and the chickens

Beautiful location, beck at the bottom of the garden, hills less than half a mile up the path. The cottage it's self is gorgeous and the big window is lovely. Welcoming and obliging landlord (who bakes a lovely loaf of bread). We would have no hesitation in booking again if returning to the area.

Beck Cottage was a really lovely place to stay. It was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The lounge area had a Sofa which was adequate for the two of us, but would have loved a footstool.

A romantic, cosy and quirky cottage next to the beck. Just close the door behind you, turn left up the track and you're at the bottom of the fells where you can enjoy the views or take the challenge of walking to the top of Cross Fell. The owners Nick and Anna were very welcoming and helpful throught our stay. Thank you!
