Louise
Absolutely lovely property! Nicely decorated throughout and very cosy and comfy of an evening. Also very well set up for dogs, with a great utility room! We will be back when we stay close to Keswick again! Would 100% recommend to anyone. Lovely food at the Horse and Farrier up the road, would advise booking at least the day before for an evening meal, as they do get very busy! Thank you for another great stay!

The cottage is comfortable and in a great location, with amazing views front and back. The owners left us some fresh eggs from their chickens which was a nice touch. This is our 4th visit to the village and our first stay at Beech Croft, we will be back.

Very spacious, sociable kitchen/diner, handy utility room, very clean and tidy. Beds super comfortable. On a personal note as we have 1 nervous dog, we would have preferred a gate to enclose the back patio area so we knew he was safe. The garden is enclosed when the gates are closed.
