Nothing!

Beacon View was just 5 minutes from Penrith town but in the country so very peaceful and quiet. Set on a beautiful property where we enjoyed watching the sunset. Our friends and I enjoyed our stay, the house was well equipped and was super clean and nice and warm with the heating. Host was very accommodating and great with communication.

It is part of half build development. The Apartment is part of building with multiple apartments. This building and another in finished building is part of estate with impressive gate but otherwise whole thing needs some TLC and finishing. Shower hot water is tank based so after 2-3 people showering you need to wait for at least 30mins for water to get heated. Do not go by Google .map. it takes you to 1mile away location. May be it was previously Beacon view, so make sure you read instructions properly.

Place was really clean, Bath was little dated but was functional and shower worked fine. Very spacious accomodation with good size living and open plan kitchen. It is upstairs so feels more safe and no disturbance. Host, Vicky was really helpful and answered my call late when I arrived.

quite and out the way

Stayed in February 2023

Constant rumbling noise seemed to be coming from the room beneath my bedroom, (perhaps a boiler room?), which we didn’t notice during daytime, but was frustrating when trying to get to sleep. It did stop later on in the night & I am a light sleeper, so may not bother others.

Good location for exploring Lake District & very easy from M6. Well equipped with everything you need.

Very quiet place 😌 nice location and very comfortable 🙂

Fabulous apartment. Spotlessly clean, beautiful views, two double bedrooms with very comfy beds and their own great view too! Open plan living room and dining room was very spacious and fully equipped equipped kitchen. Large grassed outside space with picnic table was also lovely too. Will be looking to book again soon 👍 Lamps in the living would be nice as the main lights were very bright, but that's just a thought rather than criticism

The only thing missing was a washing machine but not a big thing but would of been useful.

Stayed in February 2022

It would have been nice, though not essential, to have a glass shower-screen instead of the curtain.

It was self-catering and the location was fine for us wanting to be near Ullswater.

Just bedding for the sofa bed, in case I missed it!

The property was incredibly clean and had tea, coffee, soap and shower gel etc provided which was great. Clean towels and bedding were on the main beds but unfortunately not for the sofa bed. The property is very private, situated behind private gates and about 25 minutes from the lakes.

Nothing- it took a while to get used to the elec gates but that was our issue not the properties. You have to keep your finger on the button. I suppose the only thing I didn’t like about the whole thing was the fact that I have had to leave !!!

It is very quiet and secluded. We loved the windows in the bedrooms, as no light pollution you can lie in them and watch the stars very clearly. The property had everything needed. Tea, coffee etc was there for use. The sofa bed was a good size and quite comfy, easy to put up and bedding hidden underneath. It’s easy driving to shops etc nearby but would be a canny walk. The lady who rented the property to us gave good instructions for finding the place, the sat nav took us further down the road. We had planned on getting there teatime but didn’t get until about 10pm so it was dark and trying to negotiate the key safe etc was comical as a result, if you plan on arriving late take a torch with you. I think it was good value for money and we would stay there again if we went back to the area. Thank you x

Location was excellent and the accommodation catered for all my family needs. The host was always a phone call away when we needed her.

Stayed in July 2021

There could be more specific instructions left behind for where to find the bedding for the sofa bed, but other than that, no issues whatsoever.

Overall, Beacon View was a fantastic stay - great location very close by car to Penrith but still in the country, and reasonably close to many Lake District locations.

Very spacious cosy apartment in a good location. Local pub 5 mins walk away. Was sent detailed arrival information the day before. Would recommend

It was noisy from a boiler or something couldn't sleep for it

No breakfast

Stayed in June 2021

This place is adequate, but no more. I think the reviews published have been very selective! It's very Eighties and looks like it hasn't had any money spent on it in decades. Bathroom is a good example - 80s plastic peach-coloured bath, cheap plastic shower curtain, bath taps locked off so you can't bath, very noisy fan which goes on AGES after light is turned off, wonky toilet seat that doesn't stay up. Noisy fridge in the kitchen area (can be heard in the bedrooms). For £160/night it's at best average value. And as for 'Beacon view' - nice quiet country surroundings, but couldn't see a beacon anywhere!

Decent location, relatively easy for a short stay travelling south from Scotland
