“It was unfortunate that the two public house’s were not serving food due to the non availability of chef’s.”

the local fish and chip shop was excellent serving Chinese food as well.

the local fish and chip shop was excellent serving Chinese food as well. There was a lack of parking available due to double yellow lines. There is minimal phone signal and no internet available at the property. However the property was excellent with a lovely welcome basket and fresh flowers a nice touch

Mrs Colder August 2021

“A really lovely comfortable cottage.”

Super clean, with everything you need. In a great location, and with really good communication with the owners.

- Mrs Colder, August 2021
Mrs Kowlessar August 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Lavender cottage, very quaint, clean, well stocked and a wonderful welcome basket with treats for our dog and children in there too.”

Also fresh flowers were a delightful touch. The beds were very comfortable and had a good selection of DVDs for those rainy days indoors. The owner - Lesley, was very helpful a d friendly. The only negative I could mention is the patio at the back is not enclosed on both sides, which was bothersome at times for our dog, so unfortunately we will not be returning. Sykes really should highlight this in the listing, as it really wasn’t obvious in the pictures. This is not a negative but worth a mention, there is no WiFi at the cottage. We would definitely return if the patio was enclosed.

- Mrs Kowlessar, August 2021

- Mr Hall, June 2021
Mr Bromme April 2021

“We were impressed by the cleanliness and the gifts that were waiting on arrival, the dog biscuits were a great touch.”

It was also nice to receive a call from the host prior to arrival to explain where to get the key and to ask if we had any questions. It allowed us to find out a little bit more about the area, which was really useful. Everything was very welcoming and homely.

- Mr Bromme, April 2021
Mrs Hood October 2020

“What a fabulous cottage.”

It was immaculately clean, warm and cosy. The owners were so lovely leaving a lovely treat hamper we were not expecting. A very special cottage indeed. I am so pleased we found this little gem in a gorgeous little village.we loved listening to the river outside the front of the property it was just so relaxing. What a, wonderful three nights we had and can't wait to visit again, having a longer stay.

- Mrs Hood, October 2020
Mr King October 2020

“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. 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.

- Mr King, October 2020

“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.

- Mrs Atkinson, August 2020
Bennetto August 2020

“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.

- Bennetto, August 2020
Mr Murphy July 2020

“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

- Mr Murphy, July 2020

- Mrs Whittaker, February 2020
Mrs Dixon February 2020

“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.

- Mrs Dixon, February 2020
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 Mcpherson, July 2019
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 Jones, July 2019
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 ?

- Mr Love, June 2019

- Mrs Downes, April 2019
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.

- Mr Tillotson, April 2019

Mrs White November 2018

“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.

- Mrs White, November 2018

“We go a few times a year to this superb cottage.”

It is ideally situated even if you don't have a car and the welcome extended by the owners is exceptional: Fresh flowers, welcome pack and attention to little details give your holiday a really good start. Although not needed, the owners do occasionally make changes to the decor but these are done to enhance the visitor's experience. It is reassuring that this owner really does care about keeping the property in tip-top condition. We and our Yorkshire terrier love this holiday cottage!

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.

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.
