Lovely stay at Betsy Cottage.
Lovely stay at Betsy Cottage. Very convenient to get to loads of different places in the Lake District and not even a five minute walk to great places to eat and drink. Whole cottage immaculately clean and well furnished. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic week spent in Windermere, cottage was in great location and comfiest bed I have ever slept
Fantastic week spent in Windermere, cottage was in great location and comfiest bed I have ever slept in. Came home and rebooked for next year. Only negative I would say is a downstairs toilet would be beneficial as teenagers take forever to get ready !! Would recommend this accommodation 100%

We loved our stay at Betsy’s.
We loved our stay at Betsy’s. Everything you could need in the accommodation. Traditional cottage, small and quaint, but enough space for four adults. Shame about the rain, but that’s out of Betsy’s control! Lovely and clean and welcoming. Nice and warm and comfy kingside bed.
