Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property delightful and well-maintained, while others noted issues such as cobwebs, stained sheets, and inadequately cleaned floors. The inconsistency leads to a slightly above average score.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to Ambleside, beautiful views of Windermere, and accessibility to walking routes. Guests consistently appreciate the setting, contributing to a high score in this category.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a private terrace and cosy atmosphere. However, some have mentioned dated decor and issues with heating, suggesting room for improvement in overall comfort.

Its calming, co-ordinated furnishings and fitted carpets make the apartment feel cosy. Appreciate the personal touches and attention to detail which makes Betamere the ideal place for a holiday at any time of the year.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

    Didn't effect our stay but not an acceptable standard. Sykes have been told about this.

  • Anthony

    Wonderful busy garden, delightful views and still classy. I give the property ten out of ten. The Lakelands agency less, I found it frustrating having to deal with FAQs and no human contact. However, would book again.

    It is close to Ambleside with all its amenities but you feel as though you are in the countryside. Comfortable lounge/dining area. Main heating is storage radiators, which are not as flexible to manage when the weather is changeable. Plenty of crockery but could do with a some more glasses. There are few minor things where repair/upgrade would be beneficial.
