“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.

“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.

“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.

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

“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.

“Wonderful wonderful place!”

the photographs do not do it justice. Wonderful location - wonderful grounds. The walled garden - awesome. Exquisitely laid out with no corporate overtone. Don't change anything!!!

“We had a very relaxing holiday along with our two very active Springer Spaniels.”
Dr Sanford July 2017

“As expected the cottage was very small but that is ok for a single person or young couple.”

The spiral staircase made it difficult to get suitcases upstairs and would be a hazard for older folk or young children. Fridge and cooker need updating.

“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.
