    “A lovely cottage in a great location for walking straight from the door.”

    Very comfortable bed, but as noted by other reviewers the towels have seen better days. A few house keeping niggles - there was no salt for the dishwasher and we couldn't buy any in Keswick as it was sold out, the en-suite toilet was running continuously and the cleaning generally was not great. Also the TV is not a smart TV as described in the listing and even the Freesat reception was hit and miss. We would have brought a laptop to connect to the TV if we had known.

    Thank you for your kind feedback, we are so pleased that you had a great stay at Beck Edge. The Lake District water is soft, so we do not need to use dishwasher salt. Also thank you for letting us know about the towels, we are replacing these. We are sorry you had not reported any problems during your stay, as any cleaning or maintenance issues would have been sorted straight away for you. We would love to welcome you back in the future.

About the location

BRAITHWAITE

Keswick 3 miles.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
