Downstairs at High Beckside

Coming in through the front door of our farmhouse you enter an original oak panelled entrance hall. There is an old oak door which leads to the 'down house' or dairy - now a slate floored boiler room (with a downstairs w/c). This also operates as a drying room and bike store. There is also a separate laundry room with a washer/dryer. The cosy living/dining area has several comfy sofas and a large dining room table. There is an open coal fire, exposed oak beams, a TV and DVD. Next to the fireplace is an old spice cupboard dated 1707. The lounge also leads into the well equipped open plan kitchen with Lakeland stone worktops, cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher. We offer free Wi-Fi in the main house.

The whole house is decorated with touches reflecting the local landscape and our life as Lakeland farmers, with Herdwick wool carpets in the living/dining area, stairs and landing, made from the wool of the local Herdwick sheep which graze the surrounding fells. There are also local Herdwick wool rugs and throws throughout the house, and a number of original paintings and prints by local artists hang on the farmhouse walls.

Upstairs at High Beckside

There are 3 bedrooms in the main part of the house, - one double, one twin and a single. The family bathroom has a large walk in shower, fully tiled with local Lakeland slate, a w.c. and a wash basin. There is also a separate w.c. All the bedrooms have great views towards Hartsop Dodd. Please click here for more photos of the inside of High Beckside.

The Wool Loft

For larger parties or those who just wish to have additional space, the fourth bedroom is a twin located in the adjoining 'wool loft'. This is accessed from an external staircase adjacent to the front door, making it ideal for groups of friends. This magnificent 'away-from-it-all' en-suite bedroom is a real feature of the property. The bathroom is well equipped with a shower, wash basin and w/c.

Outside

Outside the wonderful garden surrounds the farmhouse and offers a tranquil mix of wild areas and grass, which transforms into a carpet of snowdrops in the spring. There is also a stream at the bottom of the garden (well fenced for safety). The garden is a magnet for the local wildlife, including a wide range of birds, as well as badgers and foxes. There is also ample parking for 2 to 3 cars.

Our Dog Friendly Lake District Cottage

We welcome up to 2 well behaved dogs at High Beckside. We respectfully request that dogs be kept downstairs and please keep dogs under close control when walking locally, especially during lambing season. There is a £15 charge per week per dog.
