This superb newly renovated cottage is tucked away in a quiet location in the village of Cark-in-Cartmel, about 1.5 miles south of Cartmel so is ideal if you would like to attend the Cartmel races as a shuttle bus is available from the nearby railway Cark station which is a few minutes walk away from the property. Within easy walking distance are several pubs, local convenience stores, bakery and take-away, as well as Holker Hall which has a varied programme of events and Cark railway station, ideal for exploring the wider area without your car, maybe enjoy a trip to the lovely bay at  Arnside and have a lovely stroll along the prom. Nearby Cartmel has an array of charming shops, pubs and two renowned starred restaurants; a wonderful destination for foodies, as well as the 12th century Priory. There are many great local walks to enjoy along the shoreline or nearby fells such as Howbarrow and Hampsfell with magnificent views out across Morecambe Bay and towards the peaks of the Lake District. Heading into this fantastic region you can enjoy, within a short distance, a range of outdoor pursuits around Windermere and Coniston from simple walks and horse-riding to more challenging sports such as climbing and mountain biking.

Onward into the cosy lounge which has been tastefully decorated and compliments the cottage’s original features.

Heading through into the kitchen you will find an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher and washing machine as well as an abundance of storage for the holiday ahead. There is also a handy covered area for muddy boots, dog leads and coats outside the door. Upstairs to the first floor you will find two pretty double bedrooms with views across the village plus a separate dressing room equipped with dressing table and wardrobe. Last but no means least is the shower room equipped with underfloor heating, rainfall shower, basin with vanity unit and WC.

Folds end cottage is a cute and quirky cottage in the village of Cark near Cartmel. A stones throw away from a nice pub and shop for essentials. The cottage is comfortable and cosy, log burner was lovely and we even had a bbq in the back garden one day. Enclosed garden was perfect for our dog to roam around securely. Loved our stay

We found it a bit dark, but it is a cottage and the time of year not conductive to long sunny days. They have really made the most of the outside space they have.
