“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.
Dr Almond January 2020

“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.
Mr Jones July 2019

“Not sure that the description of the cottage explains that you go through one bedroom to the second bedroom with the bathroom between.”

We had my 94 year old Mum with us who frequents the bathroom during the night which meant we were aware each time this happened ! However we loved the cottage and location.
Mr Mcpherson July 2019

“The hosts provided some nice little touches that were really appreciated.”

We had everything that we needed for an enjoyable holiday and we would be happy to return.
Mr Love June 2019

“Whilst the cottage itself we cannot fault there was an adjacent kennel or an extremely keen dog lover whose pets were absolutely manic during the day, any chance of a quiet spell in the conservatory were ruined.”

We would return to the cottage in an instant but for the dog factor. PS is a loo brush too much to ask for ?

“Only issue was no WiFi.”

Very comfortable cottage and very nice welcome pack
Mrs Fowler May 2019

“The location of the cottage was lovely, the cottage itself was very charming, very comfortable and clean.”

the welcome pack, everything that you need when first arrive. I will recommend this cottage to everyone. E Fowler Blackburn
Mr Tillotson April 2019

“This cottage is in a very small village, stream running in front of cottage, the cottage was very clean and the welcome pack was very welcome, the only possible negative thing was you had to park on the road and cross a bridge and at 76yrs and the wife 75 yrs we found where you pack was a bit of a drag, but don't worry the double bed was super soft and I got a full nights sleep, we were sorry to come home to the Manchester airport noise with planes taking off.”

All I can say to anybody just go and enjoy your stay everyone is friendly and helpful.
Mrs Blakeley April 2019

“This is the first time we have stayed in a holiday cottage with no Wi-fi.”

We really struggled but found public Wi-fi in nearby Grange on Sands, at the public library.
Mrs Downes April 2019

“Lovlely cottage in a very nice place”
Mrs Bowen March 2019

“Perfect little cottage in a beautiful setting Super comfortable bed and a thoughtful welcome basket made our break one to Remember.”

.. would thoroughly recommend and will go back

“Where do l start?”

Leslie & Mike went out of their way to ensure we had a lovely holiday as they stayed to help me in with my bags as it was just me and our dog this week. The cottage is immaculately clean and they have put a great deal of thought into the 'little' touches to make it so cosy, warm and welcoming. The fresh flowers, fresh bread and wicked cakes along with other niceities where greatly appreciated. I spent many hours reading in the conservatory, the main bedroom bed is fabulously cosy and the kitchen has all the equipment you could need. Nothing was too much trouble and our initial communication was helpful and thoughtful and this continued at the start and end of my holiday. It is a 'stones' throw from Windermere in a peaceful hamlet and l will not hesitate to return. We have stayed in a great number of cottages over the years but none have come anywhere near the thoughtfullness that has gone into making visitors feel so welcome.

“Charming cottage in the village of Cark in Cartmel.”

Fantastic hospitality from the owners providing a lovely welcome pack including dog treats even though we were only there 3 nights. Lovely walk through the woods to Cartmel close to the cottage. Dog friendly pub within 2 minutes walk. 15 minutes drive from Windermere.
Mrs Shields March 2018

“Lovely cottage in a lovely village, great for exploring the Lake District, very clean and welcoming, me my husband and our wee dog had a fantastic holiday here, would definitely return and would recommend this house to others.”

“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.
