Little Beck Reviews

I booked this property with 8 other friends and had a very poor experience I highly recommend you do not book this property. I will bulletpoint my issues below Hot tub not ready on arrival, dirty, had a very strong bad smell. When we finally managed to get it to work, it caused all members of our group to have severe skin reactions. No help provided when owner messaged Advertised as 5 TVs but only 4 available, all locked with a pin and no pin provided even after asking owner Rude neighbours who harass you daily if you park even momentarily on the street. Not enough space to park more than 2 cars within the property gates which is ridiculous for a house of this size Basic necessities not provided such as soap, shower gel, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper provided but only 2 rolls Heating locked remotely, meaning the house is always cold an everyone needed to wear jumpers And some other small issues such as half of the stove being broken toilet windows locked shed locked so no cushions for outdoor seating even though advertised Finally, the owner is not contactable with all these issues despite trying to reach out multiple times. Do not rent this property, spend a little more on any other place for a much better experience.

We had a lovely time my son was getting married in nearby lakeside hotel so ideally placed for this however would not want to walk out far from this property as lack of pavements makes walking very dangerous busy road fast cars! The house was clean and tidy on arrival and plenty of room for all of us. There are some jobs that need doing around the house that others have already commented on Cleaning outside cushions on furniture and a general clean up of outside furniture. Tap in on suite has no hot water asked whilst we were there and just told that the owners know. However the kitchen tap broke whilst we were there and was fixed the same day thankyou Also lack of a large saucepan as house sleeps 9 and should be able to cook for 9 without using 3 pans! Also when we have stayed in other places with a hot tub someone has come daily to check the water as far as Im aware we did not see anyone during our week.

There is a fairly small fridge and freezer. In the instructions it seemed that there was a freezerrefrigerator and besides that another refrigerator and a separate large freezer. The bathrooms are keyless. This is very disturbing! Other than that, we had a great time. A wonderful place with a beautiful view
The property was lovely. The only negative feedback was the amount of rubbish at the side of the building. All bins were full when we arrived. A large bin was delivered on Friday morning but none were emptied when we were there. There was a note left saying put bins out on selected day but no days were attached to the note. The bathroom doors were both warped and had to be slammed to ensure they shut, not great in the mornings when others were asleep. The sink in the en suite only has a cold feed, so you had to wash in cold water. Overall the property was great but for the price paid these snags should be picked up. The grass could do with a cut as well
Lesley
Good holiday and nice property but a few niggles. I reported that there was no window key we to open the windows this was not solved so we had a week without being able to open any windows , especially needed in the bathrooms. The bathroom doors did not fit and there was no hot water in the shower room . Not enough comfy chairs for us all to sit down together Lesley Wylde

The holiday cottage was spacious, clean and comfortable. Sarah met us at the door in the pouring rain and talked us through the gate clicker and keys. Sarah was also on hand via text with ideas for days out and places to eat. She was lovely and a real asset to the property, nothing was too much trouble and she always answered texts. The house could use a couple more large saucepans and some casserole pots, but that aside it is a beautiful house. The steam train runs across the bottom of the garden several times a day and we will really miss this now we are home. The garden had everything from barbecue to trampoline and the seating outside was lovely. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. We visited the South Lakes Zoo and the Lakeside motor museum, which were brilliant. We also had a fantastic meal at the Farmhouse restaurant in Ulverston, highly recommend this restaurant, meals were amazing! Overall a beautiful house in a beautiful setting with lovely woodland walks nearby. Grizedale had particularly wonderful walks. We also went on the boat tour of Windermere and got off at Ambleside, which was lovely. The lake and steam train is only 5 minutes walk away.
Little Beck is an absolute find, the pictures do not do it justice! The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is well kitted out. The garden is absolutely stunning, with the steam train running along the end of the garden. Only a 3 minute walk to Lakeside where you can get a boat along along Windermere. Sarah our contact was fantastic and nothing was too much for her, giving us top tips for local attractions etc Oh and the hot tub, the icing on the cake! Thank you, we had a very special holiday!

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 10 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 11 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 11 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 14 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 18 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
