  Becks Fold was an absolutely amazing place to stay.

  We were welcomed with a beautiful basket of bread, cereal and wine. Everything is organised in such a thoughtful manner for guests to stay and self accommodate and catered comfortably. We had both my parents ( from the US), my in laws, my 9 month old baby and my 2 year old and my 2 sister’s ( from US) and my husband and I stay at the cottage. It comfortably accommodated us. It is very spacious. The cottage looked exactly like the photos but felt even bigger in person. The front of the house is not shown in the photos, so when you arrive it will look like a bungalow but the house is built on a lovely hill next to a Brooke. In the morning we would have coffee in the garden and listen to the water streaming down. Pure relaxation. The cottage comes with high chair, cot, kids toys, board games and garden games. We were blessed with lovely weather so we had a bbq one night! And you are a 2 min walk to Ships Inn a local pub. And a 10 min walk to the lake and you can see the sheeps graze as you stroll down. My kids loved it! It was our first time at the Lake District. Great location to drive to the Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth and Lake Windermere attractions and also great location to just stay in Coniston and enjoyed the lake. Everything was perfect and we surly will book again at this cottage as another family get together holiday. Thank you!

  The owners of the property were lovely and really helpful and so was the local lady who looks after the property on a day to day basis.

  The property had great facilities and a brilliant location just ten minutes walk from the Coniston lakeside. There was some lovely walks and public footpaths from very close to the house. The property itself was clean and friendly with a lovely wood burner and supply of logs, as well as a jacuzzi bath. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and all the essentials are provided including good quality washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, etc. We have stayed in the northern lakes many times (Derwentwater, Ullswater, etc) and this was our first time staying in the southern lakes. We found Coniston a little less touristy than the northern lakes which was great. Coniston has its own boating centre where you can hire all sorts of boats, paddle boards, kayaks etc. Grizedale forest is only 20 mins drive away (with lovely walks as well as Go-Ape etc). Windermere and Kendal are pretty close too. We highly recommend Becks Fold.

  This was the best holiday our family has ever had.

  Becks Fold was amazing and had everything and more that we needed. I wish I could of spoken to the owners as they have done a terrific job in building the perfect home. Coniston is just a dream and if I could move there I would in a heartbeat. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I would return there in the next couple of years and there would be only one place I would stay and that’s Becks How you can get such a perfect place is incredible and hats need to go off again to the owners. 10/10 holiday. I am getting emotional just writing this. Thank you. If there was something to change for the owners it would be the bin situation as the dustbin men never came and all the rubbish was in bags next to the wheelie bin. Perfect holiday perfect house perfect location just perfect

  This a superb property that is in a beautiful location, just a 10 minute stroll into Coniston village.

  The owner was very informative and helpful, which made everything perfect for the family. Everything worked and was kept in very good order. Good fridge / cooking facilities / dishwasher / washing machine etc. etc. everything you could want on a mini family break. If I had to be ultra picky, and I really don't want to be, the only thing missing was wifi. With so may people there, 1 or 2 that still had to do a little work to do, so It would have helped and eased a little work frustration. I would definitely recommend this property, and possibly stay again in the future! For info - There were 8 adults and 1 child in the group.

  This is a very small cottage but the owners have made a very nice job of the shower room.

  The Kitchen/Diner was also well done and contained all the necessary appliances. However, it was a little under equipped. A decent set of matching cutlery, a couple of larger cook's knives and a new frying pan would be a good start. The bedrooms had no wardrobes or clothes hangers - just hooks on walls/doors. There was no Visitors book or guidance about refuse collection etc. In terms of books/ornaments etc it was the barest cottage I have ever stayed in. Out of the 4 cottages that we have rented this year (3 through Sykes) this ranked 3rd in terms of amenity, and, at £800 pw in mid September was easily 4th in terms of VFM.
