  The first impression of Hudson was WOW!

  This was beautiful and well appointed. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. We tried very hard to get the TV to work but it didn’t. All it did was buffer. The WiFi signal was very weak and kept dropping out for our phones too. We spent time looking at leaflets on places to go, then realised they hadn’t been updated since 2018. We couldn’t get the info on our phones to follow them up. The sitting room was upstairs and was comfortable. Apart from the sharp nail that stuck up through a dining room chair. I did tell the maintenance man about it. We were told there was a washing machine we could use. We hunted! Eventually our neighbour form Bilboa showed us where it was. It is located in a shipping container in a fenced area that looked locked. It really needed to be made clear in the information book where it was. I had phoned in advance about using the washing machine and was told it was in the annex! Likewise it would be good to know how the hob worked.It should have been stated in the information folder. It took ages to work it out. We love the location. The grounds are amazing and it is well located for the Lake District and the West Coast. Places to eat would include The Fleece, The Applestore, Daisy Clough Nurseries and The Barn. Amazing ice-cream at The Barn, one scoop is huge!

  A group of 20 of our friends stayed in the house over 2 days on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th January to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday.

  We had all travelled up from Manchester and the size of the house with the number of rooms and amount of space fitted our group numbers absolutely perfectly. We all had a fantastic time. The rooms were really clean and spacious. The large living room and dining area was perfect for our stay as it provided enough space for us all to have a good time and the large kitchen area allowed was perfect was cooking and relaxing in. I received a nice introductory message from the owner Zhang will covered all essential points and things to consider which was extremely helpful. Also, the on-site Assistant Manager Kev was a brilliant help to us on two occasions when we required the heating to be switched on on the Friday night and then on the Saturday night when one of the room’s doors locked itself from the outside. I messaged Kev to ask for his assistance on both occasions and he was extremely professional and helpful and was travelled immediately to the house to help us. I’d like to commend Kev for all of his help and support. These were the only two minor issues during our stay but they didn’t affect us all have a brilliant weekend. Overall, my wife really enjoyed her surprise weekend away and she had a brilliant time and I would highly recommend staying at this property for parties of more than 15 guests.

  Firstly we loved the location and the size of the property itself.

  There was 7 of us and we had more than enough space to relax. We loved all the outdoor space! All the bedrooms were nicely sized and the beds were really comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great! Only down side would be that the rooms were a little dusty and had alot of cobwebs everywhere. One thing to note about the property is that we had alot of issues with the lights going out and the water not working. On day 2 and 3 in the morning, the water stopped working so some of us couldn’t shower, even worse there was no water coming from the kitchen tap so we couldn’t even get drinking water or do the dishes. Eventually in the working it started working again however we noticed if you had the dishwasher on the water in the house would not work. Also if you put the oven on the electricity would trip for the outside lights. Overall, we did enjoy our stay at beckhall.

  Our family stayed at this property to celebrate a birthday, with a mix of adults and children.

  Prior to arrival, Paul contacted me in the week before we came and let us know all the info we needed to gain access. He also met us on arrival to go over everything and offered some helpful advice on local attractions, bars and restaurants. The house itself was spacious and had everything we needed. All the rooms were clean and tidy and the number of bathrooms were great for a large group. The roof top garden was a welcome space as we were very lucky with the weather. We had some young children and my only advice would be for the owner to invest in some new panelling and gates to ensure safety in this area; we supervised the children at all times, so it was fine, but it would give extra peace of mind. Paul was very attentive throughout our stay and kept in contact to see if we needed anything. The card and chocolates on arrival were a lovely touch! We would definitely stay here again

  A good stay overall but a few things could be better.

  The property is nicely refurbished with a big kitchen but the furniture is all a bit odd and small details let the property down. The bathroom basin tap is leaking constantly and the shower also leaked one night and kept us awake. The toilet seat is thin plastic and the small bath is uncomfortable. The hot water is scorching. There is no freezer or freezer box for ice. The boiler is in a utility area off the kitchen with no separating door and noisy. The security light on the side of the hall shines at the property all night and it faces bins and a metal storage container and a building site at the back or the hall which is not great. If there was an event at the hall it would be very intrusive to a stay, particularly in this cottage. We did enjoy our stay but might choose one of the other cottages next time.
