Is Beckmead Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The house has a cot and highchair available for young children. The enclosed back yard provides a safe outdoor space. Windermere offers family attractions including the World of Beatrix Potter (1 mile) and lake cruises. The snug has a 65-inch TV for entertainment. Beaches and adventure playgrounds are within easy reach around the lake.
For Couples
This property is better suited to families than couples due to its size. The house sleeps six across three floors with multiple reception rooms. While the location is excellent for exploring Windermere together, the scale of the accommodation and three bedrooms make it less intimate for a romantic break. Couples would benefit more from a smaller property.
Pet Friendly
Beckmead welcomes one well-behaved dog at no extra cost. The enclosed back yard gives your dog a secure outdoor space. Lake Windermere shoreline walks start 15 minutes away on foot. Many local pubs and cafes are dog-friendly. The property has hard floors downstairs making cleaning easier. You cannot bring more than one dog.
