What our customers say about their holidays

  Beck Cottage has a lovely layout, with a cosy atmosphere which was enhanced by a charming wood burning stove, perfect for relaxing evenings, which we booked as a last minute little pick me up after illness before Christmas.

  However the stay was unfortunately overshadowed by a few issues. The cottage on closer inspection wasn’t very clean. There was dusty surfaces, a large amount of cobwebs, toothpaste on a tap and mould under the bath taps. Later during the stay we found a finger nail and food down the back of the sofa. Additionally the sink had broken plumbing which meant that after a couple of water leaks we couldn’t really use for it for five out the the seven days. Whilst we appreciate that it was over the New Year period you would have thought that an emergency plumber could have been utilised. Although permission was given to the hosts to enter the property to check the plumbing on one day, we were concerned that the day after someone had entered the property and turned some lights out that we purposely left on to help us navigate up the path in the dark when we returned from a day out, which was unsettling and intrusive. Whilst Beck Cottage is in a great position and had the potential for a really great stay, the lack of maintenance, cleanliness and lack of privacy detracted from the overall experience.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful place and wonderful people.

  When my partner first shown me this place I nearly ruled it out due to having young children 1 and 4, I thought the out door space may have been an issue. I am so glad we decided to book as it was not an issue at all, was amazing and our children loved it, such a sense of space, playing freely on the grass, meeting the farm animals and even feeding the lambs which our daughter absolutely loved. They gave us lots of ideas for days out we could do in the area with the children which was great and we enjoyed some great family days. And when their day was done and fast asleep, we could spend our time relaxing in the hot-tub admiring the views and cozying up on the couch with a glass of wine and amazing cheese board from a shop they recommended in cartmel (so delicious). I would definitely recommend staying here the properties are immaculate, the people are lovely and the balance of time with the children and for ourselves was perfect. We will definitely be returning.

  Lovely stay and we would like to return.

  The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Kath was extremely helpful in the lead-up to our stay and the videos she sent were very helpful. The location was ideal once we found our bearings as it is quite tucked away in a lovely spot. Neddy Cut is slightly overlooked by two similar buildings but all are well separated so it still feels quite private. Slight damp smell at times but this was not a big issue, just an observation (possibly linked to warped wooden boards in the corner of living room, where we presumed the boiler to be). Very warm but this is a good thing when weather not so great. The boiler/ ventilation systems can be a little noisy at times for reasons we couldn’t quite figure out (in terms of when they came on). I was also pleased to note that during our stay no work was done on the adjacent building which is under construction. Would highly recommend.

  The property is outstanding for it's facilities, the general layout and the location.

  Also the videos sent to us by the owner prior to our stay were super helpful. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the heating system - on the Sunday of our stay, the heating was on full and would not turn off at the thermostats, resulting with the overnight temperature being unbearably hot in the bedrooms. We had to try to sleep with the outside doors to the bedrooms open, and walking to the bathroom with bare feet was almost impossible due to the temperature of the floor. We contacted the owner who tried her best to resolve, suggesting we turned the heating off at the boiler and putting it back on when required as she could not get anyone to look at the boiler till the last day of our visit. Also work on a build next to our lodge was quite distracting. Overall would recommend the property if heating is fixed and build next to it is completed.

  This is the sectime we have stayed at MyraView this year and the third time on total.

  What a lovely place, away from it all but only 5 min8from the main road and about 10 minutes from Cartmel. The property is quirky . We love it. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. A great coffee machine, it made excellent coffee but we couldn't work out how to get the attached milk frother to work. There is also plenty of tea towels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and salt and pepper provided. Lots of towels in the bedrooms too. The beds are very comfy. The storage heaters taking a bit of getting used to, but soon sorted. Also thank you for the welcome gift package too. A simple walk if you don't want to drive is to cross the main road (A590) signposted Staveley and turn left, there are two easy safe walks to Newby Bridge. We highly recommend this lovely cottage. Thank you Tony & Chrissie
