    Very quiet & peaceful in lovely south lakeland. Really wasnt ready or willing to leave! Cartmel area is full of character & amazing views. Quiet open roads (Early March) and charming off the beaten track pubs. Cottage is unique, cosy & comfortable. Facilities at cottage excellent & in fine working order, could not begin to find fault. Owner was attentive & helpful. Thank you.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was lovely and perfect for the three of us."

    Location great and walkable into Cartmel in 15 mins. Only addition we’d suggest if it could be accommodated would be the addition of a freezer, or even a fridge with a small freezer section, when staying for a 3 or more days this would be helpful especially if you want ice cream with your sticky toffee

    Thanks very much for your feedback. Your suggestion is something I have thought about for a long time and perhaps in the future I may find a way to incorporate this somewhere. All the best :-) Property Owner

    Very prompt service. Our only criticism is that you could see straight into the cottage next door and they into our cottage. A privacy panel placed in the corner would stop this.

    Cottage was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean. Comfy beds and scenic countryside surrounding us. Having a warden on the site was also very helpful. Doorway leading to section where bathroom and bedrooms are is low, which may cause headache for taller people. As long as you remember to mind your head, you're fine. Pleasantly beds were long enough even for 6 foot+ Many thanks!

  • "Nice cottage, comfortable beds and living room, well furnished and facilities good."

    Parking easy. Good directions, easy and convenient collection of keys. Not a very safe road to walk along into Cartmel in the dark, for a drink or a meal, but it’s easy to park in the racecourse, next to the town centre. One comment for visitors, if you come in the winter as we did, bring your slippers and the floors are tiled or stone in the living room, kitchen and bathroom.

    The owner clearly has thought this out and made it a real home that is cosy and catered for all. The cottage is in fine decoration and the sofas and beds are extremely comfortable. It is quiet and relaxing and plenty to see and do without having to travel too far. You are situated as an apartment within a bigger overall building and the garden is not exclusive so not exactly private but it has been very well done. We can recommend this cottage and would stay again no question, thank you.
