    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Sarah - Verified booking

      This was the second time I have stayed at the cottage and both stays were excellent.

      The cottage is small but beautiful and well equipped, comfortable and peaceful. I am disabled with arthritis and rather limited mobility. My husband drove me up to Grasmere but I stayed on my own, and I made my own way home on public transport using railway assistance. Everything worked well. The one thing which might be a bit daunting for someone with mobility problems is the steep staircase, but I found it quite manageable if I took my time. I was on holiday. The slow and thoughtful ascent and descent was all part of the zen like quality of the stay! The setting suited me perfectly. I don’t drive but excellent buses stop very near the cottage, linking Keswick and Kendal. Other bus links and tours are easily available. Grasmere itself is lovely, of course. I found everything I needed locally in easy walking distance and was never short of a place to sit and have a cuppa. My son came to visit one day and was impressed by all the vegan offerings available in the village. I even managed to walk up to Allen Bank one day, which was a beautiful experience. Sitting where Wordsworth once sat and seeing my first red squirrel was something I’ll never forget. I thoroughly recommend Beck Steps for a couple or anyone wanting a solo holiday. It is a cottage with charm and comfort which does wonders for the soul!

    • Dianne - Verified booking

      Gorgeous little cottage in a fabulous location.

      Super comfy bed and lovely bathroom. Kitchen well equipped. However the soft furnishings are tired and shabby and long overdue an upgrade. The sofa and arm chair are so old and desperately in need of either reupholstering or preferably replacing. We really wanted somewhere to just relax in front of the fire on an evening after long Lakeland walks but it was impossible to get comfy. When we arrived at 4pm it was already dark and the underfloor heating wasn’t on so the house was cold and felt unwelcoming. There were no instructions as to how to put the underfloor heating on. With a slate floor this is imperative in these temperatures, it took hours to warm the cottage up. Otherwise it needs carpets. There were quite a few cobwebs in the cottage which although clean gave the impression of neglect and added to the lack of the welcoming feeling I had expected. in all we had a good break in grasmere but ended up cutting it short and coming home early as we missed our home comforts.

    • Paul - Verified booking

      Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.

      That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

    • Abigail - Verified booking

      Lovely cottage, generally well equipped and great location.

      However, seriously let down by level of cleanliness. On arrival it appeared neat and tidy but with time we noticed that it had clearly only received a superficial clean - we debated complaining at the time but didn't want to disrupt our holiday. There was grit and dust in the corners of every room, crumbs under the table, dirty marks on cupboard fronts and down the outsides of the kitchen bin, the bin also smelt bad. We later found a soiled nappy and biscuit wrappers under the bed. On top of this, the cottage had a neglected air - the front gate was broken and had a panel hanging off, the front windows were thick with dirt and in the bathroom the plug had been 'fixed' with a bit of green bailer twine. Finally, this is the first time that we have been to a cottage that did not offer a towel and sheet change between weeks 1 and 2.

    • Paula - Verified booking

      Very comfortable stay in a great location.

      2 things to bear in mind: the fridge is very small - one of those your nana used to have with a little freezer compartment at the top - so don't bother arriving with a big shop of food that needs refrigeration or a freezer; the other thing is parking - it's perfectly doable as there's a layby on the same side of the road as the cottage about 150 yds up toward the village shop. We were able to park there throughout our stay no problem. Use the local bus service if you want to pop into Ambleside for shopping - much more convenient than faffing about parking etc (and we have a blue badge). If you do go food shopping in Ambleside and you're not a vegetarian we highly recommend Garside butchers - first class. Lovely walks nearby and v dog friendly. Thank you.
