“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.
Mrs Roberts-smith September 2019

“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.
Mr Unsworth August 2019

“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!
Mr Hilton August 2019

“Great cottage which was comfortable with everything that we needed.”

Set in a beautiful location, would definitely recommend
Mr Moss May 2019

“. we thoroughly enjoyed the picturesque location and the charming little cottage..”
Mrs Lockwood April 2019

“Cosy cottage in pretty village.”

We enjoyed using the log burner and visiting nearby Windermere.
Mrs Emery October 2018

“Beautiful location by the river with handy walks.”

Log fire kept us lovely and warm. Would highly recommend.
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 :-)

Great stay , very happy with cottage (would suggest a bath/shower mat be provided to prevent any slips when taking shower)
Ms Lawrie July 2018

“Cartmel Cottage is fantastic and very well furnished and equipped.”

This was our second visit and we hope to return.
Mrs Barlow June 2018

“Lovely cottage the area is beautiful.”

Great for walks or just relaxing.
Mrs Storer June 2018

“Lovely comfy cottage.”

Only issue was that there wasn't anywhere to put any washing. A clothes airer would be useful
Mrs Baker May 2018

“Lovely cottage in a very friendly village with lovely walks on the doorstep and a sandy beach within 40 minute drive.”

The cottage was lovely for us it needed a bath Matt and a grab rail in her bathroom The only big downside with a dog is the lack of no back or front privacy , this was very inconvenient with no fencing to keep our dog contained or have private drink out back All in all the cottage was lovely in an ideal location But due to the dog issues we could not book again
Mr Jewitt March 2018

“Lovely Cottage with Woodburner & Central Heating.”

Complete Kitchen: Hob/oven, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and toaster. Great base for exploring Lake District, choice of pubs both serving food nearby. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
Mrs Taggart March 2018

“The location of the cottage was great for us.”

Lots of walks on the doorstep, a shop and bakery in the village and good nearby pubs. The cottage was small but well-equipped and cosy despite the sub-zero temperatures outside. There is no enclosed garden so could be difficult for some dog owners but we managed no problem. The owners and Sykes helped us with a last minute request and no bother. Would be happy to stay here again.
Mrs Mccartney February 2018

“We stayed in Cartmel Cottage from 23rd February for one week, the cottage is lovely, warm, cosy and I loved the stream right outside of the house.”

The owners were very accommodating and helpful when I rang. The cottage is in a great position for sightseeing there is also a small shop, bakers and two pubs that serve food all on the doorstep. We loved this cottage, parking was not a problem, unfortunately we had to return two days early because of the “beast from the east” however this will not put us off and we will be back.
Mrs Bruce February 2018

“Cartmel Cottage was delightful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
Mr Quinn February 2018

“Really enjoyed the relaxation and the peace needed a break to recharge my batteries so to speak and this was the ideal place.”

Only 1 drawback was the amount of driving I had to do to go to anywhere of interest.But to be fair there was a train station with a very good service but I am not a train person.
Mrs Brierley February 2018

“The cottage - couldn’t fault any of the facilties, location etc, it was all lovely.”

Our only issue was that with the property being listed as pet friendly, it would have been useful to know that none of the outside space was enclosed. It’s clear that the cottage fronts on to the river and that pets should be supervised however the back patio is also open for your dog to roam in to next doors garden and also on to the road.
