  Not really as advertised.

  pub one minute away - closed for renovations. there is no river walk of 5 mins to pub in next village. you can access a small part of the river, then becomes private land/allotments. to walk further you have to walk along a narrow, busy, road with no path. unsuitable for dogs or children. "enclosed garden" (in one listing) or "enclosed patio" in another, with beautiful views is actually a tiny scruffy paved area with a view of the car park and a neighbour's garage. not suitable for a dog and you wouldnt choose to sit out there. views to the front are of cars and the main road in. you can see the small grassy area and river to the side. and there is no fishing (advertised on one site as available). would not recommend it to dog owners. inside is open plan and very small. might be ok for tiny dog but they would want to run up and down stairs (which our dog is not allowed to do at home). the way the rules are written are not particularly friendly either. i expected an enclosed area where our dog could run around in the morning and then we could have a pleasant river walk to get food in the evening. absolutely not. after a 7 hour drive we arrived in the evening unable to let the dog run round, no local pub. next pub fully booked (it would be nice if it said on website the The Manor House at Oxen Bridge needs booking. we did late, twice, and it was absolutely lovely meal with friendly staff). next nearest pubs were either closed or no food on at the weekend. forced to eat chips in a car park. i nearly cried. awful start. however, the Lake District itself was beautiful. We only used the cottage to sleep in . neighbours were very nice and helpful. just felt sorry for our dog. i will note in future, just because a cottage accepts dogs it does not mean it is "dog friendly"

  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.

  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

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Myra’s view.

  The cottage was down a little lane, secluded, peaceful; but a quick hop to main road where there’s a Budgens and a garage. Sheep roaming in the field behind, which was lovely. Room enough to park to cars in the front. Once inside the cottage we found the kitchen very well equipped, the lounge very comfy with tv. The bedrooms a good size with plenty of storage and the beds super comfy. Great shower in the Bathroom and plenty of towels. Separate utility room containing washing machine and tumble dryer. The cottage was warm and cosy and very welcoming, the owners have gone out of their way to make this little cottage a home from home! It was liberating not having WiFi for a week and to just enjoy our surroundings! I highly recommend Myra’s view!

  Nice cottage in a good location.

  Village pub and micro brewery 5 minutes walk from the cottage was worth the visit, good ale and lovely friendly owners. I have given a low score for cleaning the bathroom tiles are in need of a deep clean and I am surprised nobody has commented on it because it must of been some time since the tiles were cleaned there was a heavy build up of black mould on the tiles above the bath all along the bath edge and at the bottom of the shower screen. Only 1 bath towel and 1 had towel for two people. The garden rockery is full of weeds and needs attention. The outlook to the side of the cottage was not very pleasant it faces on to the owners garage workshop doors not closed so was not a very pleasant view.
