Beck Cottage is a welcoming property located in the tiny hamlet of Force Forge in Satterthwaite, Cumbria. Dating back to the mid-1800s, the cottage stands on the site of an old Bobbin Mill, with remnants of the mill still visible in the garden. Originally built to house mill workers, Beck Cottage has been modernized while retaining its historic charm, offering up-to-date conveniences in a picturesque setting.
The cottage features a beautiful kitchen/living/dining room with a state-of-the-art kitchen and large picture windows overlooking the garden, beck, and woodland. Guests can relax, cook, and dine together in this spacious room, enjoying views of the flowing water and wildlife. The garden and patio provide a magical spot for al fresco dining, making it a unique and tranquil retreat for visitors.
Located just 5.5 miles north of the cottage is the picturesque village of Hawkshead, known for its charm and historic character. Home to William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, Hawkshead offers quaint alleyways, 17th-century houses, inns, tea shops, and gift shops.
