This beautiful detached riverside cottage in the Lake District National Park is only 1 mile from the lake in the unspoilt Ennerdale Valley, with all the ingredients for a memorable holiday. Situated on a smallholding with ducks roaming freely in the grounds, you can really feel like you have escaped to paradise at this Lakeland hideaway. The sight of red squirrels feeding in the garden is a common one from the heart of this peaceful cottage. You can sit in the conservatory and watch them take monkey nuts from the squirrel feeders right outside your window. At night time the stars shine brightly on the backdrop of the dark skies thanks to there being no light pollution that you typically get in more commercialised areas.
If you want to escape to the country, this really has it all, from the peaceful trickling beck that runs along the side of the garden, to the acres of woodland and riverside walks that you can explore to your hearts content. In effect you have your own private estate on which to build your own adventure. Locally you’ll find all manner of wildlife including a good variety of birds and wild rabbits, there is birdwatching on site and ospreys and an RSPB reserve are within 12 miles. Step inside and this tastefully furnished cottage is perfect for families and couples. Sleeping up to six guests in two triple rooms it offers the flexibility to welcome larger families. The comfortable living room with large multi-fuel burner is just perfect for those cosy nights in front of a roaring fire. The owners, who live in the farmhouse next door, are very welcoming and love to involve visitors in their rural lifestyle, while the biomass heating system and solar panels all complement the eco-friendly nature of this property.
If you love the outdoors, you can enjoy any number of excellent walks and cycle routes directly from the cottage including a stunning route around Ennerdale Water which is famed for its wild and natural landscape. Just a few miles away you can access Buttermere Valley, home to Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere itself which is famous for some of the most iconic imagery of the Lakes. For more challenging adventures you have any number of iconic fells in the vicinity including Red Pike, High Stile and Haystacks. If you’re missing town-life, don’t worry, you’re only 10 miles from the popular seaside town of Whitehaven with harbour, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and high street shopping. Once you have experienced Lake District living at its best, the last thing you’ll want to do is return to the hustle and bustle of today’s busy life. Beck Cottage is adjacent to the coast to coast path for walking and cycle routes and fishing and riding are just 2 miles away and Loweswater is 6 miles away. Beach 12 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

There is open water in the property grounds.

We've just returned from 7 nights at Beck Cottage.
We've just returned from 7 nights at Beck Cottage. The hosts are a charming couple and they've created a little piece of heaven here, which is perfect for nature lovers. The cottage is positioned by a babbling beck with a front garden teeming with wildlife: a constant stream of garden birds flitter around the feeders; chubby geese waddle freely; and the star of the show, the beautiful red squirrels, nibble nuts outside the conservatory on a daily basis. We even saw a tawny owl staring from a tree as we drove home one night. It's very close to Ennerdale Water, a wild and rugged place, far removed from the more touristy areas of the Lake District. We highly recommend Beck Cottage for a quiet and relaxing break. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Wonderfully quiet and secluded.
Wonderfully quiet and secluded. Just what the doctor ordered - literally. Great walking and canoeing local to the cottage. A great base to explore the much quieter and beautiful Western Lakes. The red squirrels and tame ducks are a constant source of entertainment. Thank you for this much needed get away from it all. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A delightful, comfy, cosy cottage/house.
A delightful, comfy, cosy cottage/house. Very well equipped, warm to come back to after cold days out, it felt like home from home. It's remote, well away from much in the way of amenities, unless you count a large lake within walking distance, lakeland fells and red squirrels to watch out for. They love hazelnuts, though how they KNOW you've put some out on the bird feeder is beyond me. Lots of birdlife, too. Very helpful, pleasant owners on site. All in all, a lovely holiday.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday.
We had a lovely relaxing holiday. If you want lots of amenities then Ennerdale isn't the place to go. For us it's seclusion is exactly what we were after. The Cottage was comfy and well equipped. It isn't huge but perfect for us.

A well equipt, warm, clean and comfortable cottage in a great location.
A well equipt, warm, clean and comfortable cottage in a great location. It was wonderful to see so many birds on the feeders in the garden and inparticular the red squirels right out side the window. Ideally placed to visit / walk around Ennerdale, Buttermere, Wastwater and the west coast plus if your fit enough there are numerous high peaks within easy reach. Owners were very friendly, they went out of there way to ensure the cottage had everything we needed All helped by a complete week without a spot of rain

Only 2 of us stayed here, (not 4 as originally planned), so it was ample for our needs.
Only 2 of us stayed here, (not 4 as originally planned), so it was ample for our needs. The owners were very friendly and helpful, but we had our privacy too as the cottage is tucked away behind some barns. Very peaceful.
