“very comfortable apartment in a gorgeous location,great views,great walking and only one mile from Hawkshead village”
This apartment is the ground floor of the owners lovely house which was not in anyway a problem as it has its own entrance The lovely couple who own the house are very friendl and welcoming,and offer very useful tips 're where to go locally, but are in no way intrusive and we did feel we had ample privacy .
The view from the living area and main bedroom is spectacular, looking out over fields and the vllage of Hawkshead, with views of top of Latterbarrow in the distance
We did walk into Hawkshead, but it's a bit of a hill coming back so only the once!
It is very easy to access Hawkshead, Tarn Hows and nearby Coniston from Betty Fold, and Windermere and Ambleside are only a short drive away
The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable, and very well maintained and clean and it was lovely and cosy to return to after a long walk.We took our dog and we really enjoyed long walks with him,and will hopefully return here in summer months.There is one double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom and shower, and at other side of the living area a second twin bedrooms with own bathroom, so good for 2 couples or a family
Great WiFi in this apartment ,which is great as this can often be either non existent or patchy in rental properties in my experience .Plenty of storage space sand clearances,only asm point I know but it helps.
I would not hesitate to highly recommend this to anyone who is considering a Cumbrian break, we were there during the awful weekend of the floods and although Betty Fold and Hawkshead were thankfully not flooded the owners were so very helpful and reassuring about which routes to take and places to avoid.Lovely people and.a lovely apartment .

About the location
HAWKSHEAD
Ambleside 4 miles; Kendal 24 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, teashops, 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.
