  • "Lovely cottage in a lovely location - close to Cartmel village - a favourite of ours for many years."

    The overall cleanliness and comfort lets the cottage down so too does the decor. We’ve stayed at the cottage many years ago (at least 10) and other than the sofas - nothing much has changed. The shower needs updating (more power) and the mattress in the main bedroom needs to be firmer - (we both ended up with bad backs in the morning). Sorry to sound so down but some upgrading is definitely required. A hoover would be useful too.

    We are sorry to receive your negative comments about your recent stay but just wished to respond and clarify a couple of points you have made. The property was completely redecorated last year, furniture was updated and flooring replaced throughout. The shower was newly installed last year too. We are sorry the mattress was not to your liking but many people comment at just how comfortable the beds are. A hoover is provided and can be found in the cupboard in the kitchen. We were very disappointed to read that you found the cleanliness of the cottage not up to standard. Rest assured we will be taking this matter up with the Cleaning Company we employ as we expect the highest standard for the price we pay to have the property cleaned after each stay. Sykes very happy for you to post these comments in response. Very disappointing as we were there for a couple of days the week before and everything was in order. Best wishes.

  • "We enjoyed our week at Amber Cottage."

    The cottage is well equipped. The kitchen in particular has everything you’d need for your stay. The living area is comfortable. If there was more space, a footstool would be great. It’s very handy to have a downstairs toilet. The king size bed was also comfortable. The cottage surroundings are lovely with pretty well kept gardens. The only negative about the property was that it was a bit dusty in places. In particular the sitting room, under the armchairs, tv unit but it didn’t spoil our holiday.

  • "We were very pleased with the cottage, which we found to be well equipped, and also well situated for visiting the local area and further afield."

    We noted from the Visitors book that some families had made multiple visits to Amber Cottage, and we could easily understand why they would choose to do that.

  • "The cottage had everything we needed for our stay as we only used 1 car but there is no space for more than 1 vehicle so 2 households ie 4 adults would struggle to find parking."

    In addition parking for this cottage is not directly outside so loading/unloading could be an issue.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on our property. We are sorry to hear that you struggled to find additional parking. The property clearly notes that there is 1 space of off road parking. Had we been made aware at the time of your stay that you required additional parking, we would have recommended where to go. Thank you again for your valuable comments. Property Owner

    . Also warm and cosy feel. Would be a great stay in the summer months as the garden is a lovely spot to sit. As we stayed February this was not possible, however we got nice weather and could clearly see the sun on the garden also not overlooked as fields at the back of the property. Cark is a great little village with 2 good pubs. Cartmel not too far away. Also Grange easy to visit. The Commodore hotel serves good food. Damian on the bar there providing excellent customer service as we visited friends for an 80th birthday celebration.

    The parking space was taken by others.Also there were painting contractors in tne parking area and also they were very disruptive around the cottage .I f we had been informed about their presence we would have chosen a different date.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. I am sorry that your stay was interrupted on one day during your week when an adjoining property was having work carried out, as I understand from a neighbour alternative parking was arranged for you. As you can see from the rest of our feedback, this has not been an issue before or since your stay. Property Owner

Cark in Cartmel is a small Lakeland village just two miles from Cartmel, one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District. Cark is well served by the Furness line railway, and features pretty streamside strolls, lovely walks to the local coastline overlooking Morecambe Bay, two fine traditional old pubs and a scattering of small shops. It is a very short stroll from here to Holker Hall, the stately home of Lord Cavendish, whose house, gardens and deer park are open to the public and also now home to a licensed brasserie The Ilex. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful unspoilt countryside or visit The National Hunt Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition and the Lakeland Motor Museum, all close by. Nearby Cartmel offers quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, charming gift shops, welcoming traditional pubs serving real ales, and the nationally acclaimed Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings, mountain backdrop, fabulous sea views, promenade and two golf courses is four miles away. Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a fifteen minute drive. A superb holiday destination at any time of year.
