“Fantastic”

Perfect extremely well equipped cottage, great location good wifi and sky TV - perfect. Plenty walks for the dog and a pub within walking distance. Shop in the village but in the next village (2 mins) Fantastic bakery, Chinese take away with fish and chips ( excellent) chemist and post office . Pheasant pub 10 mins drive serves excellent food and is dog friendly. Must visit Cartmel, Grange, Ambleside, Grassmere and Keswick. Exactly as it says in its description.

“An amazing time at amber cottage.”

Great location and the owners had thought of everything.

Mrs Gilmour February 2020

“The cottage was very well equipped.”

. 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.

Mr Egan June 2019

“The parking was a nightmare.”

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.

- Mr Egan, June 2019

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. Sykes owner relations

“The cottage met expectations only because we had stayed in the cottage last year.”

What had improved was the lovely garden. I loved the very comfortable bed and cotton sheets (it is little things like that which make all the difference) I was in a twin bed because my 12 year old granddaughter wanted to sleep with her friend so that they could share IT gadgets!! The cottage is really a home from home, thank you

About the location

CARK IN CARTMEL

Cartmel 2 miles; Bowness on Windermere 16 miles.

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.
