Breakfast was very good, location brilliant, friendly staff Room 5 was very cold despite raidiator and electric blanket so one of us did not get any sleep! Toilet was across the hall which we were aware of, but the toilet 'room' was cupboard size!

Beckmead House was easy to locate, it is situated just under 10 minutes walk from Windermere rail station. We were warmly welcomed by the owner. We stayed in a double room which is nicely decorated and is very cosy. The room, shower and toilet are very clean. The breakfast is really good. They had a menu for us to choose from and all ingredients are freshly prepared every morning. Service, location, cleanliness are above average for a B&B. The shower and toilet have no door hooks to hang our clothes so we couldn't get dressed in the shower room and changing clothes is not convenient.

We appreciated the welcome, the rooms, the beds, the towelling robes and the exceptionally good breakfast. The facial was a very pleasant bonus. This is not a criticism at all just to warn potential clients that if they are large widthways they might struggle using the en suite!

The rooms, while small, like all Victorian apartments. were very modern,with new facilities in bath and toilet. Rooms were very, very clean and were serviced daily while we stayed. The breakfast provided was excellent, in both extent and quality, and on a par with 4 star hotels we stayed in the previous week. Narrow stairs for an elderly sister in law staying with us were not a favourite part.

It was wonderful. Centrally located in the Lakes, it was ideal for us for visiting Lake Coniston, Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Grizedale Forest. Town is only 2 minutes away, together with a bus stop that takes you into Bowness. From Bowness it was nice to hop onto the old fashion steam boat (now diesel) to cross over to Amberside for further shopping and sightseeing! The room was spotless, with TV, DVD and tea making facilities. The breakfast was to die for! Local ingredients for the sausages and bacon - proper thick lean bacon, with very little of fat... it was the perfect start to the day ;o) They also offer a "picnic" deal for walkers, and for the ladies - they also offer a walkers picnic + pedicure or foot massage for additional costs. If you want the massage or foot massage package - you need to book early as unfortunately for us, they were full up as my girlfriend wanted the massage package so she didn't experience this. The staff Phil and Tilly are lovely people, and were extremely helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again. Well worth a visit. Only thing I would stay is the additional packages is per person! It's labelled as "The Walkers Package" so we assumed it covered two people and for £5 and thought this was an good deal for a couple of sandwiches, a flask of coffee and a couple of the supermarket's own brand packets of crisps. Not too sure if it's worth £10 as if I'd of known that - I would have considered stopping at a cafe for something more filling for about the same price! We got this on the 2 days we was there as expected to pay £10 for the two days, and ended up costing £20 for a couple of sandwiches.

The lodge had a very warm and cozy atmosphere and beautiful decor. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. It was just 10 mintutes walk to Bowness which made it easier for us to reach the lake Windermere.

Great hosts; we took our dog and they made him and us feel very welcome. The breakfast is one of the best we've had at a b&b/guest house. The place itself is immaculate and tastefully decorated. We would stay there again. Good location too between Windermere and Bowness.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Beckmead's! In fact, it was a little too short! We loved the cosy environment and atmosphere at Beckmead's and the hospitality offered by Tilly and her family. They were also able to offer good advice wrt day tours of Lake District and the surrounds. On the whole, we loved the clean, cosy room and comfy bed, not forgetting the GREAT English Breakfasts served every morning! Really delicious and very substantial! :) We will definitely recommend Beckmead's to anyone touring in Lake District and would love to be back again soon! :)
