Beck Head Tarn Reviews

Claire

Not the best experience, quite pricey and the cleanliness could definitely be better.

Oliver

The spot was perfect, really loved the vibe of the place. The cabin was spotless and ready for us to settle in right away. The welcome pack with chocolates, cookiesand coffee was a nice touch. We had a great stay overall!

Emily

We had a lovely stay here with our dog. The place had everything we needed and the views were beautiful, especially in winter. The pool wasn't open, which was a bit disappointing, but it's more suited for kids anyway. We enjoyed exploring the nearby villages and some great walks around. We didn't go to the pub, but it's within walking distance, which is handy. Overall, a relaxing break!

Emma Carter

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was cosy and super comfortable, perfect for relaxing after days exploring. Its location made it easy to visit Ambleside, Wray Castleand Stock Gyll Force without hassle. Browns-on-Windermere was charming with fab food and shops. Coming back to a peaceful, quiet spot was just what we needed. Can't wait to return next summer for some paddling and more adventures. Highly recommend!

Emma

Loved staying here! The location is fantastic, with lovely walks just outside. The place was spotless and comfy, plus we enjoyed watching red squirrels right from the sofa - brilliant! Would definitely return.

Emma Collins

Beautiful place, loved the peaceful vibe.

Laura

Lovely spot, would stay again

Emma Clarke

The cabin was lovely, perfectly situated in a peaceful spot. Everything we needed was thereand it was so relaxing. The only downside was the weather-rain all week, so we couldn't enjoy the patio!

James

We absolutely loved our stay! The location is perfect - just a few miles from Ambleside and Windermere. Watching the deer wander onto the patio was magical. The cabin had all we neededand the pool and sauna were real treats. We'll be back!
