“We echo the reviews already said the owners Leslie and Mike are so helpful and really are generous with the supplies.”

.. including a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The cottage is cosy and lovely.

.. including a lovely bottle of Prosecco. The cottage is cosy and lovely. Don’t let the previous comments about a kennel put you off hardly heard the dogs and if they barked it was for minutes. In fact it was part of the experience the back of the cottage looks over a small field with sheep we enjoyed watching the farmer and his dogs round up the sheep each evening. You feel away from it all. The location is perfect... will be visiting again.

“Everything about the cottage suited our purposes ideally.”

Location was perfect and the weather made it possible to sit outside both front and back and relax. We felt very much at home and comfortable. The cottage was extremely well equipped and exceeded our expectations. The neighbours[some permanent residents] were very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our visits to the Engine & the Rose & Crown.

“Lavender Cottage was lovely place to spend our family holiday, it really well presented for our arrival, with personal touches for us and cleaned to a very good standard throughout.”

The cottage was really well equipped and had everything we needed. The owners communication with us before our stay was helpful and they even let us know exactly when the cottage was ready for us to go in. Its set in a pretty and quiet location with short local walks available without getting into car and for traveling up to the lakes by car or bicycle didn't take too long. We would highly recommend a break here.

“Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage.”

The owners were really accommodating and was really impressed with the lovely welcoming touches for our arrival especially the milk bread and cake. it’s in the lovely quiet village of cark literally about 100 yd’s from the nearest pub and convenience store. the next village has a lovely Chinese and another pub plus a bakery and another convenience store. village of cartmel and Ulverston town not far away in car and we really enjoyed our trip to grange over sands and Morecambe which has a lovely promenade and some decent pubs. great base for a quiet peaceful holiday not far from the lakes

“We have had a wonderful holiday in this very comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage.”

We use holiday cottages regularly and this is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The welcome pack was excellent. We loved exploring the area and particularly enjoyed the Morecambe Bay coastline - very peaceful. We will definitely return.

“I had a lovely stay at Lavender Cottage albeit in the middle of February!”

! The cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely warm and cosy. It had every facility you possibly need - washer, dryer, dishwasher, freezer etc. It was obvious that the owners take great pride in keeping the cottage up to an excellent standard. The owners were very helpful prior to my arrival and upon arrival they had left lots of goodies for me to enjoy. The milk and butter in the fridge was also a thoughtful touch. The bed was also extremely comfortable. I would visit again.

“A welcoming and cosy cottage, with thoughtful extra touches provided by the owners.”

The location is excellent, with walks from the doorstep and 5 minutes walk from the railway station with links to Ulverston to the West and Arnside and Silverdale across the Kent estuary, crossing the spectacular viaduct from Grange over Sands.

“Comfy Cottage”

This cottage is so well equipped and comfortable it could be a very nice permanent home,not just for a week or two holiday. The owners were generous with the welcome pack,and even replenished it for the second week we were there. There are plenty of nice places nearby to visit and the cottage is set in very picturesque and quiet surroundings. Would definitely go to Lavender Cottage if we visited the area again.

The property

A quaint, mid-terrace cottage positioned riverside to the River Eea in the Lakeland village of Cark in Cartmel, just two miles from the attractive village of Cartmel and eight miles from Lake Windermere.

Lavender Cottage is an excellent base for a small family looking for a relaxing break with great opportunities to explore the Lake District.

Offering a cosy interior, the comfortable sitting room features two spacious sofas and a charming window bay seat, providing picturesque views across the river and beyond, whilst the well-equipped kitchen benefits from integrated appliances and a dining table for four.

Adjoining the kitchen is the sun room, offering a quieter spot to enjoy a good book or to simply reflect upon the day.

There are two bedrooms here; a king-size double and a twin room, which is accessed through the double.

Outside is a small patio space with furniture, proving an opportunity for some alfresco dining.

Additionally, the patio is fully enclosed, making it ideal for parties with a dog.

From the cottage you can enjoy a beautiful walk alongside the River Eea, filled with wildlife and pretty scenery.

The unspoilt village of Cark in Cartmel provides a local shop and pub, both of which are only a short walk from the cottage, as well as the stunning grounds of Holker Hall, formerly a home to Lord Cavendish.

Cartmel is only a short drive away and is where you can find a handful of excellent pubs and restaurants, including the L’Enclume Michelin-starred restaurant, several independent boutiques and antique shops as well as a beautiful Priory with a small shop.

The delights of the Lake District aren't far either, with Lake Windermere less than 15 minutes away, it’s ideal for a day out.

Lavender Cottage is a welcoming home to be enjoyed throughout the year.
