“Lovely property and Martyn and Karen were excellent hosts.”

- Mr Marsland, September 2020
“Very well presented property great location very friendly owners”

- Mr Cox, September 2020
“This is a lovely cottage to stay in, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

It is set in a very peacefull location but is only minutes away from Cartmell and Grange over Sands and easy travelling to Lake Winderemere. The cottage is very well equipped and we enjoyed our short break there very much.

- Mr Hinchliffe, August 2020
“We had been looking for a comfortable place to stay for New Year from which we could base ourselves for walks in the Lake District; Kestrel Cottage met all our expectations and then some.”

Karen was great, answering all of our questions and was always available to help us. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage has everything you could need, is spacious and feels like a complete getaway. Karen and Martin provided us with their favourite route maps in the local area around Cartmel as well as an excellent walk up Pike of Blisco which had fantastic views. We will most certainly be recommending Kestrel to our friends, we couldn't have been happier seeing in the New Year here.

- Miss Doherty, December 2019
“This would be our second visit to this fine pair of cottages .”

You always receive a kind welcome and a big smile

- Mrs Mulraney, September 2019
“The kindness of the owners.”

Beautiful cottage. Beautiful scenery.

- Mr Van Soest, June 2019
“The cottage was excellent and as describes (though may be useful to point out that the fire/wood burning stove appliance is only decorative.”

We sort of assumed this but it would be helpful to make this explicit, as a real one would be a real plus). The owners of the cottage were lovely and very helpful

- Mrs Orendorz-bell, December 2018
“Cottage was lovely, so cute and very clean.”

Only thing I’d change would be the couch as it was uncomfortable but apart from that it was fantastic.

- Mrs Bicket, September 2018

The village features pretty streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, a charming gift shop, welcoming, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the famous sticky toffee pudding. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside, visit The National Hunt Racecourse, Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, Lakeland Motor Museum and Holker Hall with its spectacular gardens, all of which are close by.
