"We had a great stay in the comfortable apartment."
Enjoyed reclining in the sofa after a day of walking. A variety of walks from the front door. Easy access to Coniston and Ambleside by bus. One of the hob rings is not working as mentioned by a previous reviewer but wouldn’t stop us from staying there again.
-
"Betty’s Loft is a very comfortable holiday home."
It is close to the village centre and less than 5 mins walk to Tourist Information Office and bus terminal (buses to Ambleside every 30 mins for £2 single journey). From Ambleside you can travel up and down Windermere by ferry or bus for a reasonable cost. From the cottage there are numerous short walks. The cottage itself is clean and well equipped. I’d have no hesitation recommending it and I’d definitely like to return some time.

"Fantastic property, amazing position within the town to walk everywhere."
The flat was very clean, everything needed was already provided, no issues whatsoever. Would definitely recommend as long as you’re okay with stairs!

"Great stay."
I would recommend bettys Loft. Top marks for everything, clean, deco, comfortable, 10 out of 10

"The only issue we had was the quilts in both rooms."
They were very thick quilts and it was very warm even with the heating not on when sleeping. Other than that, everything was perfect and will definitely be looking to stay here again next year.

"Was a perfect Homebase for the 5 weeks we spent in the Lakes."
Hawkshead is a beautiful village and the loft is right there only steps away from village centre. It was clean and comfortable and we even received fresh linens and kitchen cleaning items every week. We loved our stay and can’t wait to be back.

"Great little flat."
It was a perfect space for my best friend and I, albeit very small, it had everything we needed and more. We were provided fresh linens and kitchen supplies each week and the flat is equipped with everything we needed to stay functional during a 5 week stay. We very much enjoyed our time at Betty’s Loft!

About the location
HAWKSHEAD
Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.
The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, tea shops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
