Photo Gallery

Beckside Cottage sleeps up to seven guests in four bedrooms and is an exceptionally pretty stone holiday cottage nestling amongst well maintained gardens, in a tranquil position on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Well placed for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park, the cottage is equidistant from the historic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and the Cumbrian Book Town of Sedbergh, providing a wealth of amenities within easy reach.

Perfect for families and couples, Beckside Cottage sits in the beautiful Lune Valley which will officially, in 2016, be part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its idyllic position near the River Lune provides all the right ingredients for a relaxing holiday with a large garden to relax amongst stunning scenery during the summer months, and a warming Aga in the farmhouse kitchen and log burner in the sitting room for cosy winter breaks.

The Lune Valley has inspired a number of great painters and poets alike including John Ruskin, Thomas Grey, Wordsworth and Turner. It provides a perfect backdrop for a host of outdoor activities with excellent opportunities for walking, fishing, horse riding and golf. There are also bike rides along the river and quiet country lanes for a gentle cycle (bikes can be stored safely in the utility room).

Kirkby Lonsdale is a small and beautifully formed town with cobbled streets lined by mellow coloured historic buildings. Here you will find a good range of shops for stocking up on provisions (including a Booths supermarket), cafes, restaurants and pubs, along with a weekly market on a Thursday.

With an abundance of attractions within easy driving distance and stunning scenery on the doorstep, Beckside Cottage is an ideal base for exploring the North West of England or simply immersing yourself in peace and tranquility.
