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.

  Just finished the week in oak with these amazing hosts carol and Ian let's not forget meg the sheepdog and the new arrival Polly the lakeland terrier.

  Let me just mention these dogs are so friendly and will keep your kids from under your feet. This place is so tranquil and the views from the pods are second to none. Carol and Ian can't do enough to help but also give you your privacy. Pods are 100% pristine carol does a fantastic job. The hot tubs, are emptied and sterilised for ever new guest. It's a perfect location to explore the lakes, don't over look ulverston town as this is a little gem 5 minutes from a Aldi supermarket are if you are feeling posh a booths. If you don't fancy cooking they are a award winning takeaway which will deliver directly to your pod. For the best free-range eggs see carol. We have just got back after a week's stay and already booked again big thank you to carol and Ian. Keep up the good work. Tony Charlotte and Lexi ☺️

  Awesome place to stay.

  Carol and Ian do a great job of maintaining the pods to a superb standard. (And Meg the sheepdog, who kept an eye on us and enjoyed some fuss when our dog wasn't looking!) Well equipped, warm and comfortable. Hot tubs checked every day, very clean. Plenty of towels for use. Kitchenette has everything you need to self cater, tho Ulverston has some great pubs and restaurants, just a short walk away, either via the road or more scenic routes across fields or woodland. Views from the pod and the hottub are spectacular, especially at sunset. We had some rather unseasonal weather but still felt cozy - would consider a stay here in winter too. A nice quiet area to stay away from the busy parts of the lakes, but easy enough to visit those areas as well as the coast from here. We will return.

  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.

  What a fabulous little find!

  Just returned from 3 nights at Oak and it did not disappoint. The little pod was well equipped, spotless with quality fixtures and fittings. The hot tub was a great addition and we loved chilling while enjoying the amazing views. The hosts were so lovely and very helpful making sure we had everything we needed and were on hand if there was an issue. The location was great, right on top of Ulverston which has lots of lovely places to eat and shops to explore. Lots of places to enjoy some walking and many of the main attractions of the Lakes area are in a short driving distance. You won’t be disappointed with this little gem. We will certainly come back again in the future.
