"We had a lovely relaxing stay at Beckside."

The cottage was comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the patio to enjoy the sunshine and lighting the log burner in the evenings. The cottage was well placed to explore the lake District and we enjoyed revisiting the lakes and towns we last saw some years ago. The grounds around the cottages were lovely to explore with our dog Charlie - lots of wildlife to see, great views, big pond, woodland, great variety.

"We stayed at the property with our three grandchildren and it suited our needs perfectly."

Beckside is a beautifully-designed cottage with a host of nice features. The owner has ensured that it is well-equipped and most of the fixtures and fittings are of a very good standard. The best thing about Southwaite Green for the children was, without doubt, the lovely grounds, most of which they had free access to. They absolutely loved the swing over the stream. The only slight negative was our difficulty working out the heating: sometimes we felt too warm and others a little chilly.

"A wonderful cottage in a beautiful location."

Marna the owner has thrown her heart and soul into the cottage and grounds and everything is lovely from the bridge over the stream to get to the property to the play field and swing over the stream. Marna clearly does love her little part of the lake district and it clearly shows in the cottage.
