“Friendly owner, very clean and spacious rooms.”

Modern facilitate in a traditional farm house. Very quiet, just a couple of miles to Grange town and Cartmel.

Modern facilitate in a traditional farm house. Very quiet, just a couple of miles to Grange town and Cartmel. Would have liked a clothes drying rack for our washed outdoor clothes.

“Yes we were booked into another cottageCase ID69292 from Friday 06 July, but as there was buuilding work i.”

E deep trenches right at the side of doorstep we informed Alice Saturday morning and she very kindly found us this cottage, which we moved to on Saturday 7th. This was the first time I have had to complain regarding Sykes cottages, and have used you for many years. So when we arrived at Outerthwait Cottage near Flookborough we were so relieved and relaxed to enjoy our last minute holiday very much. I cannot praise the cottage owner or his family enough, they were so kind and helpful, and we had a really lovely time at this very comfortable cottage.We also enjoyed watching the comings and goings of them bringing in the Silage and now appreciate how hard a job it is on a farm. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage as it had everything you could wish for and more, the views down the fields to Morecambe Bay were very good, and the cottage was immaculate and very comfortable. Hope to return in the future.

“We booked this property at the absolute last minute and were settled in within 2 hours of booking, so thank you to Sykes Cottages staff and the property owner Mr Moore and his family for accommodating us so quickly.”

The cottage is light and airy and the rooms are very spacious, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, there is plenty to do and see in the local area. We would have no hesitation returning to this cottage and would recommend to family and friends.

Outside, there is a delightful enclosed patio area which looks out across the farmyard.

This Cark-in-Cartmel cottage makes an ideal base for exploring this beautiful corner of Cumbria, with the Lake District a short drive away, with its breathtaking lakes and imposing mountains to enjoy.

About the location

FLOOKBURGH

Cartmel 2 miles; Grange-over-Sands 3 miles.

A superb base to explore this interesting and beautiful area, the historic village of Flookburgh is set near the shores of Morecambe Bay on the outskirts of the magnificent Lake District. It is thought that the locally-caught Fluke fish take their name after the village, and once, Flookburgh was a popular resting point for travellers crossing the sands from Lancaster and still provides a home for cockle and shrimp fishers. Facilities in the village include two pubs, a grocery, a chemist, a Post Office and two food outlets. The Cumbrian Coastal Way footpath passes nearby and a short walk away from the village is delightful countryside, such as Humphrey Head, views of the bay, with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. A few minutes’ drive or a pleasant off road walk leads to historic Cartmel, with its beautiful Priory, popular race course, antique and gift shops, pubs and restaurants; including the Michelin Star-rated L’Enclume. Just over a mile away you will find the beautiful house and gardens of Holker Hall and also nearby you can try horse riding just six miles to the north at Bigland, or visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which offers a range of hotels, restaurants, shops, a traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens and golf courses.
