Guests say
Bobbin Beck Cottage in Satterthwaite is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and beautiful location. The property offers a peaceful retreat with a delightful garden and beck, and is equipped with comfortable beds and amenities. While some guests mentioned minor issues with maintenance and a remote location, the overall experience is highly regarded for those seeking tranquillity in the Lake District.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming stay. A few guests noted minor issues, such as dirty cutlery or the need for a deep clean, but these were exceptions rather than the rule.
The cottage's remote and peaceful setting is cherished by many for its proximity to nature and walking trails. However, the distance from shops and amenities, as well as the difficulty in finding the property, slightly affected the score.
Guests consistently praised the comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere of the cottage. Some concerns were raised about the condition of the sofas and the initial coldness due to the heating being off upon arrival, which impacts the comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities and a few guests appreciated the thoughtful touches. However, comments about the lack of certain supplies, issues with the wood burners, and the need for better locks on bathroom doors suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful touches, there is no specific reference to gifts being provided by the owners. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category based on the available information.
About this property
Most tranquilly situated by a babbling brook, this traditional Lakeland country cottage could be lifted from a picture book. Tucked away in a green and peaceful valley between the celebrated lakes of Coniston Water and Windermere, we're sure you will instantly fall in love with Bobbin Beck Cottage and its pretty garden next to the river.
The outer old-world charm of this picturesque Satterthwaite cottage extends to the interior, where you will be transported to an earlier age by the rugged slate-flagged flooring. Exposed stonework, wooden lintels, oak furnishings, and beams in the comfortable bedrooms all combine to give you that true Lakeland cottage experience.
The hamlet of Force Forge, on the fringes of the forest of Grizedale, is gloriously isolated, and yet still only a short stroll from a village pub, the Eagle's Head at Satterthwaite. There is nothing more welcome than a pint here, some food, or one of the regular gigs of live music after a day exploring the walking trails of the beautiful forest, taking on the nearby Go Ape adventure course, or climbing the high peaks of the Lake District round about.
With wood-burning stoves in the living-room and the country dining kitchen, you will always be cosy, even when the winter snows are falling about the cottage, and on fine days, the little garden, with its patio and stone stairway leading down to the river, is the perfect place to sit out and soak in the peace and fresh air of this idyllic corner of Lakeland.
Bobbin Beck Cottage will become your homely sanctuary and we think its the ideal place to spend your special holiday with Lakelovers.
Satterthwaite enjoys a peaceful, picturesque location between the lakes of Coniston and Windermere, just south of Hawkshead village. The sleepy hamlet is surrounded by a natural playground of stunning landscapes to explore; a great base for walking and outdoor adventure as well as for escaping the everyday rush.
To the north, Grizedale Forest is an intriguing network of walking routes, cycle paths and sculpture trails. Lake Windermere lies to the east, and a car-ferry crossing can take you across the lake to explore the lively attractions of Bowness village.
Also close by is the village of Near Sawrey, where Beatrix Potter famously lived and was inspired to write her children's stories. Visit the author's home at Hill Top and explore her favourite places; such as Esthwaite Water and Moss Eccles Tarn.

Instructions and information made our stay easy and enjoyable. Thereâs nothing we didnât need and the cottage is full of games, movies and books to keep you entertained on rainy or slow afternoons. Thank you for making our trip to the Lake District one to remember! Weâll be back.

We had an amazing Christmas, right on grizedale for the bikes and the local pub is superb! We had an issue with the toilet there which was reported and fixed within a matter of hours so the after service is spot on! I agree with some comments that the sofas are a little past their use by date but it didnât cause problems, beds were super comfy! Havenât slept that well in a long time! Overall cleanliness is ok but could probably do with a deep clean to get to the bits the regular cleaning cannot cover in a quick clean but again, it wasnât an issue as the usual areas were all fine. The main bathroom does have an issue under the floorboards by the toilet, either a leak or too much condensation but the floor is saturated and you get wet feet when you walk on it! Regarding the neighbour â¦.. donât be put off, maybe could be a little more understanding but equally I wasnât on holiday to see the neighbour so didnât really matter Overall a lovely place to spend Christmas, the decorations and tree were a nice touch too!
