“Absolutely gorgeous little cottage in a fantastic location for peace and tranquility, lovely and clean.”

It felt like a home from home and I wish we could have stayed a little longer, only bad thing I can say is that I couldn’t manage to get the fire lit but it was still lovely and warm.

“We arrived at this cottage on a cold November day but sadly the heating wasn’t already on and it took a long time to warm up, not the best welcome.”

The overwhelming impression in the living area was how much the space was compromised by an oversized sofa and armchairs. The latter of which were not as shown in the promotional photos. The space was so small that I struggle to imagine how four people could move about in the room. Also there is a Smart TV which has clearly been an issue with previous guests, us included. It’s so annoying having to use apps and log into the various channels not all of which offer live TV. There was no washing machine in the property either although checking on the web page it doesn’t refer to there being one so I guess that was an oversight on my part and wasn’t really an issue to be fair. There was also an issue with lightbulbs, there were two boxes in a cupboard but they were not of the correct fitting so no idea why they were there in the first place? Overall we found our stay rather disappointing, with a little more imagination and a modest financial outlay Cartmel Cottage could be a very nice holiday cottage.

“Cottage is quiet and we'll equipped, though lack of clear instructions made the first 24 hours a challenge.”

TV, dishwasher, cooker ...manuals are all well and good but a typed sheet to shortcut what to do, would have been more helpful.

“Cottage was ideal for our family get away.”

Well furnished and equipped set in a quiet, picturesque location. Shop, pubs and takeaway all in easy walking distance - fantastic!

“Cosy cottage in pretty village.”

Mrs Emery October 2018

“Beautiful location by the river with handy walks.”

Mrs Bibbey September 2018

“Quiet peaceful location, very close to the two local pubs, shop and bakery, you must try their freshly baked pizza!”

The cottage is lovely and cosy, really well equipped, comfortable beds, we call slept well. The village of cartmel is only a 5 minute drive away and is well worth a visit, beautiful places to eat, recommend the Cartwright arms for lunch :-)

“Lovely comfy cottage.”

Only issue was that there wasn't anywhere to put any washing. A clothes airer would be useful

The property

Perfect for families or two couples, Cartmel Cottage is a great base for a Cumbrian holiday, positioned just 8 miles from the stunning Lake Windermere.

Beyond the picturesque white walls and sage door is an interior that boasts contemporary flair while still retaining traditional features.

The sitting room is equipped with comfortable seating and an alluring woodburner - an essential feature during those colder periods.

Just round the corner sits a solid oak dining table which leads into the ample kitchen, complete with a selection of integrated appliances.

Upstairs plays host to both bedrooms, one double and one zip/link twin which can be arranged into a king-size double upon request.

Completing the inside is the modern bathroom with slate walls.

To the front of the property is a decked patio with furniture, providing a spot to catch views over the river, and to the rear is a more private patio.

Endure an easy stroll into the village of Cark where there is a general shop and two pubs.

Why not visit Holker Hall for some exceptional garden displays and an impressive food hall?

Cartmel is slightly further afield and home to a selection of outstanding restaurants, including one Michelin-star, as well as small racecourse which thrives in the summer.

Explore the Lake District, famous for its picturesque landscapes and the quintessential villages of Bowness and Ambleside that some quality attractions and eateries.

With lots to see and do, a stay at this lovely cottage definitely has the potential for a holiday to remember.
