Beckside Cottage, Fleshbeck, Mansergh, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, LA6 2ES

We stayed as a family party of 12 for New Year in Beckside Cottage and Old Stables. In Beckside, the lounge was comfortable with an effective wood burner and very good heating system. We were a party of 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 3 and 5 year old. For travelling purposes,we kept clothing to a minimum as the property said it was supplied with towels and a washing machine. We had one small bath towel approx 120x60cm each and were made to feel unreasonable asking for more. We did get 6 more small towels, to be shared amongst the 12 of us. Also, when we arrived, we were presented with a clothes airer and told " you will need this, the washer is broken". Fortunately, we were able to take our washing next door to The Old Stables but it was not ideal. I feel that we should have been informed of the washing machine situation before we left home, in order to bring more clothes and towels........anyone with teenagers and under 5's will understand!! We did, however, enjoy our stay and the kids loved it.

fabulous cottage, lovely lounge with wood burner, kitchen has all you need but is a bit of a tight squeeze with 6 around the table! Bedrooms are comfortable, one is a little dark. We stayed bank holiday weekend and we were a party of 4 adults and 2 children. We really enjoyed our stay, cosy evenings with the fire lit, lovely countryside surrounding it. We really enjoyed our weekend and is a perfect base for exploring the Lune valley or just relaxing in front of the fire with a glass of wine (or cup of tea!). Would recommend

Just returned from a week at Beckside Cottage.

The location of the cottage is in a rural countryside area, directions from the owners were great,and on arrival we felt at home straight away the house was warm and welcoming, it is very ,very clean and is presented in a high standard,it is well equipped and apart from a soup ladle we had everything we needed. At night it was greatly to have the log fire crackle as we spend some good family time together ,eating ,chatting ,reading, and being away from the rat race. Thanks to all at Beckside Cottage

Without hesitation would stay in this lovely cottage again. Adjacent to other cottages but with its own entrance you were unaffected by the other guests. Beautifully decorated with good quality furnishings and wood burner, we felt 'embraced' by this house! It was a much needed weekend escape after the death of my Mother in law and so as a family just needed a relaxed and quiet time away. The dog was happy with walks along the lane next to the house and trips in the car to the Lakes too.

Have discussed returning there for a 'girls escape weekend'! Don't
