    “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.

Nestled in an enviable location in Hawkshead, Cumbria, is this splendid first-floor apartment, Betty’s Loft.

Welcoming four guests and boasting an open-plan living space, private parking and close proximity to the local amenities, Betty’s Loft is the ideal base for your next escape in the Lake District.

After parking up, enter your new home-from-home ready to kick back and relax in the inviting sitting room, complete with Smart TV so you can keep up to date with all your favourite shows or indulge a movie marathon at the end of a long day.

Allow your other half to rustle up a tasty dish in the well-equipped kitchen before settling down at the dining table, toasting to your memorable retreat over a cold bottle of fizz as you plan your itinerary for the days ahead.

Admire the pretty views from your window or head outside to the private patio to delight in an afternoon tipple as the sun sets in the distance; when the stars appear overhead, escape to the shower room to wash away the day and complete your evening routine before climbing into a plush double or single bed to catch some well-earned rest.

In the morning, kickstart your itinerary in Windermere, home to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction where you can enjoy original illustrations and manuscripts from the much-loved children’s author before visiting her former home at Hill Top, a charming 17th century farmhouse that inspired many of her stories.

Head to Grizedale Forest and discover the stunning woodlands where you can enjoy a range of outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, sculpture trails and Go Ape treetop adventures.

Explore the nearby Coniston Water, a stunning lake where you can embark on a boat trip, try your hand at watersports or simply take a leisurely lakeside walk.

Further afield, spend the day in Grasmere exploring the National Trust site of Allan Bank and Grasmere and Wordsworth Grasmere, former home to the famous author.

However you choose to spend your days in the Lake District, make Betty’s Loft your splendid base.

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.
