“Initially we were not expected and told to go away for an hour while they hurriedly prepared our accommodation.”

From then on everything was as we expected and an apology was received from Martin Ainscough. We had not been put out at all but it was nice to receive it. Everything about the property was comfortable, the facilities easy to use and other facts about the property available with advice about the local area and attractions. The weather was fantastic, the surroundings formidable all leading to an excellent five day stay in the Lake District. We would definitely go their again and recommend ...

“The cottage was lovely, the bedroom very clean as was the kitchen.”

The couch and chair has seen better days and could be renewed. The surrounding area though was beautiful , so quiet and peaceful definitely a place to restore the soul. The walled garden was just amazing so beautiful. On the whole I would definitely go back again

- Mrs Mclachlan, August 2019
“Lovely holiday, the cottage was so sweet and cosy.”

The setting is stunning and it had a lovely, laid back feel. The only thing I would suggest is something to make exiting the drive to the property a bit safer and easier.

- Miss Duncalf, July 2019
“The cottage is perfect for two people and two small dogs plus the area is very pleasant”

- Mr Christian, February 2019
“Excellent location 10 mins walk from Cartmel and at foot of Hampsfell.”

Cottage perfect for the two of us and our two terriers. Everything we needed, well equipped, very comfortable and cosy - didn’t need radiators as very real looking gas fire threw out the heat - great after days walking. Looking forward to our next visit already.

- Mrs Robson, November 2018
“Great holiday, met by staff on arrival who were available throughout our stay.”

Lovely location amongst other holiday cottages of various sizes, would opt for larger cottage if staying at location again (Milkmaids cottage was smallest on the site). Very likely to return.

- Mr Williams, August 2018
“Lovely characterful cottage in superb location on edge of fells - good walks from the door.”

The cottage is small but well-appointed, well-furnished and comfortable. Smart kitchen and shower room. The surrounding grounds are a pleasure to wander in and the walled garden is quite beautiful. Close to Grange over sands and Cartmel; Windermere and Coniston a half hour drive.

- Mrs Shields, June 2018
“Was amazing grounds peaceful lovely friendly staff defiantly you g back”

- Mrs Mccunnell, June 2018
“Kitchen could be better equipped, it was a bit limited in food preparation ie knives, pans etc.”

- Mr Miller, March 2018
“Milkmaids cottage was cosy, clean and comfortable.”

The cottage is set in a peaceful setting, ideal location for walkers and dog lovers. We would definitely recommend a holiday here for anyone who wants to get away from the stresses of everyday life and peace to recharge your batteries.

- Mrs Price, February 2018
“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.
