"I have visited many parts of the World and have revelled in the marvellous beauties to be found in them, but for concentrated loveliness I know nothing that can quite compare with the lakes and mountains of Westmorland, Cumberland and Lancashire" So wrote Henry Holiday who built Betty Fold as a holiday home.
Betty Fold is a historic country house set in spacious grounds in the heart of the English Lake District. Its elevated position affords magnificent panoramic views across the Esthwaite Valley to the south eastern fells.Click here to read about the history of this house.
The ground floor of this historic house nowadays comprises of a self catering holiday apartment. The garden, which has undergone restoration work over the last few years contains a wide variety of interesting trees and shrubs and is host to a wide variety of wildlife including Red Squirrels which are making quite a recovery in the area. Our guests are more than welcome to explore the grounds which cover some three acres.
