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.

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 didnât solve. A large and very comfortable house. Our second stay here and we will return again as itâs so practical, clean and comfortable. A real home from home.
