“Hi we did not stay in The Milkmaid's Parlour day before we left Martin Ainscough emailed me to ask if we would mind moving next door into The Gamekeepers cottage.”

We di not mind said we would. It was a bigger cottage. He needs to get the t.v. sorted out the Ariel is rubbish, we didn't stay in in the day but would of been nice to watch the news ect at night. Needs to move the dishwasher out and put in more cupboard space.

“Peaceful location, Cosy Cottage.”

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights, with our 2 dogs. The cottage has a wonderful quiet location, set among fields and a spacious gardens. The cottage has good access to the Lakes and Coast. The kitchen was well equipped for eating in. The fire was lovely for a relaxing evening. If we had any questions, we quickly got a response. We had a wonderful relaxing break. Highly recommended. Thank you.

“The kitchen was poorly stocked and the welcome pack was meagre and included milk that was out of date.”

There was no salt and pepper or cleaning equipment except washing up liquid and a brillo pad. Due to the virus we cooked in more than normal and there was no frying pan just two griddle pans that were too heavy to pick up. We were attracted by the prospect of a whirlpool/spa bath. This turned ot to be a small shower cubicle with a very slow draining shower tray!! Unless of course we missed something!! The location was good and the staff we saw were friendly but overall the description was a little generous.

“Cosy mini-break”

My partner, golden retriever and I had a lovely couple of days in the Milkmaid's Parlour cottage. Although the accommodation was slightly dusty, the space had a lot of personality. The location is perfect for those who wish to explore the Lake District, as well as there being a few lovely walks accessible from the grounds. A welcoming and romantic stay, where dogs are very welcome.

“Wedding anniversary weekend”

We stayed in this cosy little cottage for our wedding anniversary and totally fell in love with it. A couple of mins drive into Cartmell to buy some presents and a nice sit outside one of the local pubs with a coffee. So peaceful and quiet and a lovely setting

“A delightful hideaway”

The Milkmaid's parlour is a charming, compact cottage. It is part of a series of restored cottages. It had a lovely atmosphere and wonderful surrounding gardens - especially the walled garden. Cartmel is a very special village - especially if you like eating out, or dining in with good quality ingredients! And of course there is the sticky toffee pudding association! The main lakes of the Lake District are also readily accessible. A lovely holiday all in all.
