About this property
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this remote cottage on the Yorkshire/Cumbria border. The property sleeps two guests and is perfect for couples looking to embrace the great outdoors, with a choice of nearby walking routes both through The Dales and the fells of the Lake District. After a long walk, you’ll find a myriad of cosy pubs and restaurants in the towns of Hawes (8 miles) and Sedbergh (10 miles).
The period cottage offers a truly unique backdrop to your holiday. Original features, such as a striking exposed stone wall, sit alongside statement furniture, vibrant soft furnishings, and quirky artwork. The main living space is a bright and airy lounge/diner with a double-height ceiling and a fabulous spiral staircase taking centre stage. Relax here, after a day in The Dales, sharing a romantic dinner for two or snuggled up on the sofa in front of the cosy wood burner. Also on the ground floor is a separate kitchen and a refreshing shower room. Up the open-tread spiral staircase, on a mezzanine floor, is an inviting double bedroom with countryside views. Outside, enjoy your peaceful surroundings and dark skies in the enclosed garden.
The ancient market town of Sedbergh has an olde-worlde charm, with cobbled streets and historic buildings. The town is known for its fine collection of book shops, as well as its independent shops, boutiques, and galleries. Regular markets showcase local arts and crafts, and are also a great place to pick up fresh produce for your dinner. The cottage is a fantastic base for walkers, with long-distance routes such as the Dales Way and Pennine Way nearby, as well as challenging hikes in the Howgill Fells or Yorkshire’s Three Peaks (all within 15 miles).

Beautiful and quirky cottage with a really interesting story. Very clean, and cosy once the fire is lit. Lovely comfortable bed and furnishings. Be prepared with your shopping and you'll be fine. The garden isn't necessarily "dog secure" especially when there's nosy sheep coming to say hello but easily manageable.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Beck House. We were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and amazing walks on the doorstep. We unfortunately only had two nights to play with but we could have easily stayed for a week. A perfect spot to escape our busy lives and base to explore the incredible Yorkshire Dales. We had our dog, Watson, and our 6 month old son with us. Although a short stay, we have some perfect memories that will stay with us forever. We also managed to coincide our stay with very low temperatures (reaching -7 on the first night). The wood burning stove kept us cosy for the entire duration. I would highly recommend Beck House for an escape and base to explore the dales - Thankyou!
