Donald
Jan & Jim our hosts were wonderful. The accommodations were roomy & comfortable. Grasmere is a wonderful place to stay in the Lake District and Beck Allens is nicely located in Grasmere. Enjoyed hearing the sound of the nearby creek from our guest house.
Ruth
I stayed with Jim and Jenny here as my friends were at The Inn in Grasmere. As a single traveler I took the smaller double room. This was perfect for me, clean, tidy and super quiet looking over to the garden. The best bit of the room was the amazingly comfortable bed. What I enjoyed most was the wonderful hospitality-Jim and Jenny are a true team and nothing too much trouble. They make superb scrambled egg with chrizio too! Great value for money, brilliant location right in the centre and near the bus stop for onward travel in Lakes - would definitely recommend and stay again!

Simple fabulous, Jenny and Jim make you feel so welcome, Thier local knowledge of walks is really helpful. My husband has dietary requirements and Jenny went out of her way to accommodate him even baking a special cake for him, can’t recommend highly enough
Julie
A lovely welcome on arrival. Lovely location by the River Rothay. Marvellous breakfast.
John
The property is picture perfect with a creek running next to it and a nice back garden ideal for relaxing. It's located in the heart of the village so everything is only a few steps away but it doesn't feel busy. The best thing about Beck Allans is the owners, Jenny and Jim. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable and have a wealth of information about the local area. The breakfasts were excellent.

What a great place to stay! The guest house is located in the heart of Grasmere and it’s overlooking a river - very peaceful. Jim and Jen are the best! There was cake on arrival and the breakfast was so tasty. We will certainly be recommending to others.
Malcolm
Exceptional property, but it is Jen and Jim that really make it worth a visit. They maintain it to the highest possible standards - appearance, facilities, breakfast - but it is their personalities that really make it stand out. Highly
recommended.

A perfect stay!
I would highly recommend the Beck Allans Guesthouse. The room facilities were perfect, from the cleanliness to the high quality linens & towels to the very comfortable bed! For breakfast, everything was locally sourced and the continental breakfast was excellent! Our hosts Jenny and Jim were very welcoming and friendly with lots of advice for walks and places to visit & Jenny's flapjack was a welcome treat. The guesthouse was in a great location, right in the centre of Grasmere overlooking the river, with lots of places to eat very close by without having to travel by car. Thank you Jenny and Jim we will be back soon!
Avril
Wonderful 3 night stay at Beck Allan’s guesthouse back in November. Our hosts were really friendly and happy to offer local knowledge and sightseeing tips for the area. 5/5 facilities, kept to a very clean and high standard. Breakfast was really tasty, made with local produce. Brilliant first visit to the Lake District- we shall be back.
Janet

Outstanding B&B in the Lake District
Booked as part of a long weekend with my partner in the Lake District. Perfectly situated in the middle of Grasmere for easy access to local amenities, walks round nearby Grasmere/Rydal lake or for adventurous trips further afield. Jim and Jenny were fantastic hosts and genuinely couldn’t have done more! Can’t wait to return and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Lakes.
Julie
Jim and Jenny were lovely hosts, the room was clean and comfortable, fantastic breakfast and guesthouse in great location.
Dave
This was our first stay at Beck Allans Guesthouse with Jenny and Jim.
What an absolute gem of a find.
The guesthouse was fantastic, spotlessly clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was one of the best we have had, all locally sourced quality produce and Jenny and Jim are brilliant hosts who could not have been more friendly and hospitable.
The only negative was we had to come home.
We will definitely be returning very soon and would not hesitate to recommend the guesthouse to anyone

Brilliantly well-maintained property. Unusually comfortable bed. Enjoyed the wonderful food and service. Spoke at breakfast with folks who came to visit year after year - this was my first year, but I will do the same if I can! Simply outstanding.

We loved our stay with Jenny and Jim. They really made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble! They make a mean breakfast and have plenty of puzzles if you get rained in! Ask them about the ‘letter F’!

Fantastic accommodation in the centre of Grasmere
Jim and Jenny are fantastic hosts. Very friendly and considerate. Breakfast was superbly cooked and very filling, using the best produce. The bedroom had plenty of storage space and had the most comfortable bed. The location is slap in the middle of Grasmere. They recommended places to eat. We went to Tweedies, which was pricey but good food. We would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Wonderful 3 night break!
Jenny and Jim made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived with a nice coffee and homemade flapjack. They are so accommodating and their knowledge of the local area is really good. Beck Allans is in a lovely peaceful location in tphe centre of Grasmere, with a lovely stream running by and very friendly ducks who frequently visit. Our room was very comfortable and well maintained, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and the bathroom was lovely too. Lots of local personnel touches made the stay really enjoyable, from Lake District toiletries to the amazing breakfasts that contained all locally sourced produce. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will certainly be booking again. Andrew, Karen and Ian.

Super helpful hosts!
We arrived a bit early but were allowed to leave the car at the on-site parking. Very warmely welcomed in the Guesthouse. The owners are super helpful and willing to go extra mile to deliver fantastic service!
The pnly shame is that the rooms are little small, but you're not in Lake District to spend time in the room 😀
