Becks Fold Reviews

Miriam
Lovely comfortable,high spec. ,well equipped house....we loved it. Great location for Coniston Town and Water and Southern Lakes. Owner quick to respond to queries.
Riddhi
We had the most wonderful stay at Becks Fold while celebrating a combined birthday weekend, and it truly couldnt have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful location and the warm hospitality. The house itself exceeded all of our expectationsit was incredibly wellequipped with everything we could possibly need and more. It made hosting our birthday celebrations effortless and so much fun, with plenty of space and thoughtful touches that made the whole experience feel extra special. Every single person in our group had an amazing time, and by the end of the weekend, none of us wanted to leave. It genuinely felt like a home away from home. A special shoutout to Steve, our point of contact, who was such a lovely and attentive host. One of my friends accidentally left my birthday gift behind, and he kindly and promptly arranged to have it sent to my address, such a thoughtful gesture that really meant a lot. We would 100 recommend Becks Fold to anyone looking for a memorable getaway, and wed all return in a heartbeat!
Denise
Great location, warm cosy property with fantastic views. We would definitely book again.
Robert
Becks Fold is a large, very comfortable and very clean cottage about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Coniston village which our party of 8 were very happy with. There was plenty of space for everyone and it is a warm and inviting space at the end of a day spent walking in the local hills. The Ship pub is a couple of minutes walk and well worth a visit. As a party which included 2 young children we would happily revisit Becks Fold.
Andrew
A great cottage and so clean. It was pristine when we walked in. The location is great once you discover the off road routes to the lake and village. Downstairs was a bit musty but nothing a bit of fresh air didnt solve. A large and very comfortable house. Our second stay here and we will return again as its so practical, clean and comfortable. A real home from home.
Tracey
Becks Fold is a fabulous property in a beautiful location, we had a great weekend and would thoroughly recommend anyone going there. The house is fully stocked with lots of equipment and you couldnt wish for anything more. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
Lovely property great location and well mantained
Great stay at Becks Fold. The house was lovely and we would definitely stay again, and thank you for the welcome basket of goodies.
We have stayed at Becks Fold before & were really pleased to see that the cottage was just as lovely as when we previously visited 10 years ago! Very clean, well equipped & comfortable. Thank you for another great stay.
Sharon
Fabulous in every way.
Caroline
Photos do not do this place justice
Have stayed with Skyes several places but this is the first time that the owner called me on the day I arrived to say there was no towels . On the Skyes information its says no tea towels and take your own beach towels. There was loads of tea towels and bedding but no towels. As the other guests had started their journey I had to take towels for 3 people. In the owners book it says no towels supplied. Very unusual and inconvenient on the day of travelling. The Sykes website details should say that if that is normal for this cottage
Carolyn
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at dancing beck . It was very well equipped. Loads to see in the surrounding area and to do for the little kids. Just one gripe the wi fi obviously we were out during the day because of the nice weather but I'll bet that's what is putting people off coming to your lovely cottage.
Eleanor
Lovely family size home. Clean and well equipped. Need mattresses on all beds replacing for a better night's sleep.
Comfortable clean accommodation and very well equipped, convenient location with walks from the door. Thank you for the very generous welcome pack. Had a very enjoyable stay at Becks Fold.
Grayham
Becks Fold is in an ideal location for low level walks and swimming in Coniston, as well as the usual higher level walks. There is a pub within 2 minutes walk, as well as Coniston village shops, restaurants and pubs within 10 minutes walk along the old railway line. There is very little need to use cars. The house is very well equipped, but there is no wifi. The landlord is easy to contact for help when needed.
Great cottage in a nice area, couldnt have asked for a better holiday.
Excellent. A lovely cottage, in a great location with a warm welcome from the owners on arrival.
Absolutely fantastic, very clean, had everything you needed if you forgot to pack it. Games,books and DVDs. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Beautiful well equipped house in a great location
Elaine
Amazing house they have thought of everything you need for your stay. As regards cleanliness the house is immaculate. The area is nice and peaceful, with some lovely walks. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to hire.
Wonderful stay, would highly recommend. Well equipped, clean, very spacious and perfect location!
Fully enjoyed our stay at Beck's Fold. A lovely house with superb views. Short of nothing. Beyond all expectations.
Rachael
Becks Fold is a beautiful property in a great location within short walking distance of Coniston lake & village. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, just a shame it wasnt longer!
Christopher
We stayed at Becks Fold for s short 4 day break. We're a family of four with two kids aged 8 and 10. that wanted to explore the local area. Becks Fold is a lovely house, spacious, well furnished with everything your own house has. Spotlessly clean, in a quiet location by a brook, it really is an ideal home from home to spend a break. Thoroughly recommended.
We travelled as three couples for our annual pre Christmas getaway, we were certainly not disappointed with Becks Fold the welcome pack was very much appreciated. The house was large and comfortable with everything you needed apart from towels, obviously due to covid I presume. The beds were comfortable possibly a little soft for us after four nights though. The location is great as just a 10min walk into Coniston with the Ship Inn 2 min walk great welcome good traditional pub with great pub grub too. All in all a great few days at a lovely home and location, would definitely recommend and return soon hopefully.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Becks Fold. The house was very clean and comfortable and the facilities were perfect for what we as a large group needed it for. It was very impressive with regard to the space it offered and the comfort of feeling very much at home. Everyone was impressed although there were a couple of comments that the single beds werent comfortable. There was also comments about the water pouring from the guttering during the night during heavy rain which kept them awake. I didnt experience this but others in the party did. This didnt distract from the fact that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
Jacqueline
Perfect location and a perfect house .
It is a lovely location 0. 7 miles out of Coniston village. Very well equipped apart from needing a toilet brush and cleaner in each bathroom. One bathroom needs a heated towel rail.
Claire
Superb place to stay, everything you need is there. Ideally located to explore the Lakes. We will definitely go back.
What an absolute gem of a house! The accommodation was even better than expected! Rooms were extremely spacious and the whole house and garden were immaculate! The beck babbling along side the property was bliss to listen to. The location was great too! A five minute walk to the waters edge and a beautiful 15min stroll through fields and along the lake to Coniston village. Slightly shorter perhaps along the road side. Such a beautiful place to stay!
Absolutely loved it! Beautiful and clean house with plenty of space and everything one could possibly need! 3 nights seem too short to fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings we will definitely be back for longer! Thank you.
Gillian
The house was lovely, location excellent. Our only disappointment was the lack of WiFi. Not the end of the world but we did miss it! Other than that we couldnt have asked for a better holiday cottage.
William
Excellent location and a very nice house. Well equipped, comfortable and clean. The owner and manager were extremely helpful. One drawback was the lack of WiFi, with Covid19 requiring prebooking of so many things, WiFi would have made it a lot easier.
Angela
Great place for a large family or a mixed group of family and friends. Enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and have their own privacy.
Great cottage, even better than pics show, really good size and great location with all facilities needed. Really comfortable for whole family, kids loved it. Owner very responsive. This was our second visit to Coniston this cottage over 6 years and would definitely revisit next time.
Leonie
Lovely holiday cottage well located, lovely rooms and lots of space. There was a well equipped kitchen which is always a plus! We had a great weekend at Becks Fold.
Sharon
This house is great! Pictures dont do it justice at all. The bedrooms are all large and lots of space. The lounge area and kitchen is cosy really homey, has a lovely feel to it.The garden was lovely and the views are great, the location is great love to be near the lake and use the local pub as well as the pubs in town. Highly recommend would stay here again.
