  • "The property was lovely."

    It was close enough to the village to walk to the pubs but on the outskirts to enjoy the quiet that night time brings. The views from the lounge are stunning when the weather is clear. We had everything we needed and an incredible shower, however the bed is not suited for two adults. It is far too small with a tilted mattress thar tips you out so following a couple of very uncomfortable nights, we had to resort to separate rooms. We have noticed having used Hideaways company for years, that you don't receive the personal touch anymore with Sykes. Hideaways had a central Hawkshead office and were always on hand for a friendly chat, advice and support with the property you were staying in. Moreover Sykes have pretty much outpriced most of holiday population to visiting the Lakes, as the prices are now truly eye watering.

  • "Fabulous stay."

    Comfortable, clean & warm apartment. A short stroll to the village centre, shops & places to eat. The parking is a little tight but a bonus to have on site. We would definitely recommend & hope to return.

    It’s a perfect location for everything that we love about Hawkshead and we discovered some lovely walks from here too! A lovely stay - thank you!

  • "What a super property to stay in."

    Very clean and modern with everything you could ask for. The bed was very comfortable, as was the reclining sofa. We ate out so did not really use the kitchen facilities but it looked very well equipped and thought out. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio after walking all day. Would certainly book again if revisiting this part of the Lakes and would to recommend to family or friends.

  • "What a beautiful little property."

    Very well equipped and located in a gorgeous village with great bus links and local amenities, including a Co-Op and a pharmacy. A proper little home from home with great views and walks from the door. We'll definitely be back one day to do more exploring.

  • "A lovely short break at Bettys Loft."

    We liked the fact everything appeared clean and new fittings and furnishings, especially the reclinable sofa! Plenty of hot water and heating easy to boost as cold at start of the week. Only issue was a damaged dining chair but this was quickly replaced first thing the next morning. Very convenient for all shops and amenities in Hawkshead and some great walks and runs straight from the front door. We would have no hesitation in recommending Betty's loft to a couple or family of 3.

  • "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.

    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.

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.
