Beck Head Tarn Reviews

Emma

Beck Head really impressed us! Super cosy inside, spotless everywhereand a peaceful spot to relax. We loved it and honestly, anyone staying here won't be let down.

James

Fantastic stay, highly recommend it

Claire

Not the best experience, quite pricey and the cleanliness could definitely be better.

Emma

We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is stunning, with plenty of dramatic views and waterfalls, plus some lovely circular walks. The outdoor seating was so peaceful, perfect for relaxing. The cabin itself was warm, comfyand well-equipped, with a smart TV and sound system to enjoy. The WiFi worked well, even if the phone signal was a bit patchy. Only minor thing was the rules about dogs-had to be exercised outside and no pets in bedrooms, which was a bit strict but understandable.

Emma

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely little cabin. Itâ€™s nestled in a peaceful spot on the site, perfect for relaxing. We booked last minute, just two days before arrivaland the process was a bit of a hassle with some checking and follow-up calls needed. Still, once sorted, everything went smoothly. The cabin itself is cosy and quiet, ideal if youâ€™re after a calm getaway. Weâ€™d definitely recommend it, despite the initial booking hiccups. Itâ€™s a great little find!

Emma

The cabinâ€™s setting is stunning, right in the heart of everything. We loved how easy it was to explore the Lake District from there. Honestly, canâ€™t recommend it enough!

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge was comfy and perfect for exploring the lakes. Itâ€™s so tranquil, with lovely bird song that made mornings special. Great spot for local walks, we loved it!

Emma

Really great spot! Itâ€™s cosy for two, maybe three if youâ€™re tight. Easy walk from the base and fantastic value. Definitely recommend booking-won't disappoint!

Oliver

The spot was perfect, really loved the vibe of the place. The cabin was spotless and ready for us to settle in right away. The welcome pack with chocolates, cookiesand coffee was a nice touch. We had a great stay overall!

Emma Carter

Really enjoyed our stay here! The lodge was comfy and had all we needed. Perfectly located in the lakes, making exploring easy. Weâ€™d happily come back - loved it!

Alex Turner

We were pretty disappointed with the lodge. It smelled damp and mouldy, especially in the shower tray, which isnâ€™t what you'd hope for the hefty price we paid. Still, the stunning views and great location for walks made up for it a bit.

Emily

We had a lovely stay here with our dog. The place had everything we needed and the views were beautiful, especially in winter. The pool wasnâ€™t open, which was a bit disappointing, but itâ€™s more suited for kids anyway. We enjoyed exploring the nearby villages and some great walks around. We didnâ€™t go to the pub, but itâ€™s within walking distance, which is handy. Overall, a relaxing break!

Emma Carter

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was cosy and super comfortable, perfect for relaxing after days exploring. Its location made it easy to visit Ambleside, Wray Castleand Stock Gyll Force without hassle. Browns-on-Windermere was charming with fab food and shops. Coming back to a peaceful, quiet spot was just what we needed. Can't wait to return next summer for some paddling and more adventures. Highly recommend!

Emma

We had a lovely stay at this cosy lodge, even with the November rain! The view from the lounge and main bedroom was stunning. Sadly, no deer or squirrels, just a horse passing by. The place was spotless, well-stockedand felt super comfy. Perfect for walks right outside-definitely recommend!

Emma

Loved staying here! The location is fantastic, with lovely walks just outside. The place was spotless and comfy, plus we enjoyed watching red squirrels right from the sofa - brilliant! Would definitely return.

Emma Collins

Beautiful place, loved the peaceful vibe.

Laura

Lovely spot, would stay again

Emma Clarke

The cabin was lovely, perfectly situated in a peaceful spot. Everything we needed was thereand it was so relaxing. The only downside was the weather-rain all week, so we couldnâ€™t enjoy the patio!

James

The cabin was a bit tired and could do with a refresh, especially the outside space which needed some tidying. But the location is fantastic for exploringand the local pub was really handy and friendly. We'd definitely return to this lovely area!

James

We absolutely loved our stay! The location is perfect - just a few miles from Ambleside and Windermere. Watching the deer wander onto the patio was magical. The cabin had all we neededand the pool and sauna were real treats. Weâ€™ll be back!

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
