“We had a brilliant time at the Beckwood cottage.”

Very spacious and comfortable. The facilities are amazing and so is the view. A great place for a relaxing stay.

“Contacting "Sykes cottages /Matterdale cottages " to get a sensible answer to a query was a nightmare.”

Whichever number on whichever website I used was clearly routed through to the same group of individuals -all of whom wanted to get rid of me as quickly as possible by claiming it was not "their department ". I thought it was really poor.

Lots of space and fully equipped. Location very central for all those walks.

“We had a lovely holiday and really enjoyed our time in the beautiful cottage”

“This should not be advertised as having an enclosed/semi enclosed garden as it is open to the road - this was disappointing having 3 dogs as we had to keep the doors of the cottage closed.”

Take your own towels - only 4 were provided for 7 people.

“Very good location for the northern part of the Lakes.”

The cottage is quirky but has wonderful views from every window. Our 3 dogs enjoyed the garden and the small field a few yards away that they could run amok in. Apart from having to buy some logs an sticks the house was warm enough for our family of 6. There is plenty of room for us all to feel comfortable. The kitchen is a little worn in places, the Microwave needs replacing as there is buttons missing, if your lucky you can get it going, also the 1 and only frying pan is bent underneath so it's not heating up properly. All in all we had a good time even when it rained and there was hailstone and 3 inch of snow one morning.

“Beckwood Cottage is extremely spacious with the large kitchen being the centre of the house.”

7 of us and 3 dogs stayed for my wife’s 50 birthday. The facilities exceeded our expectations and we had a very enjoyable time. There are a few minor wear and tear issues which didn’t affect our enjoyment of our stay. On the whole a beautiful house which we very much enjoyed staying in. We would definitely stay again.
