Beck Allans Guest House
Location: Grasmere, Cumbria, UK
We have decided to start a blog for Beck Allans Guest House, to keep guests informed and updated with current issues, weather, developments, events, videos and guest feedback.
This blog can be used by guests to inform us about their feedback, positive points from their stay, or negative points, and just generally to interact with us through blogging if they so wish.
Here are some pictures of our rooms in the Guest House.
These two rooms are located on the first floor. The first picture is of the 4-poster room which has magnificent views over the River Rothay and towards Alcock Tarn. The other room is a superior room which affords guests plenty of space and the room is made lighter by the ornate little window which can be seen to the left of the bed.
The room above is a standard room which also has a view over the River Rothay, although the room is located on the second floor, it really is a sight when the river floods, and for some guests, they have said it was like being near the coast. The other room is another superior room on the second floor, as you can see the furniture is the only real difference, a darker mahogany. There is another room, but we decided not to add that one due to space issues.
