With its picturesque cottages, the river Eea winding through, and the stunning medieval Priory, Cartmel is surrounded by rolling hills and has everything you need on your doorstep. The village boasts a collection of eateries, cafés, pubs and unique independent shops to be enjoyed. 2 Bridge Cottages sits just a short 5 minute walk from the highly renowned Michelin 1 star Rogan & Co and just under a 10 minute stroll from Michelin 3 star L’Enclume. This exquisite cottage has been lovingly refurbished and equipped to the highest standards as recognised by the coveted 5 Star Gold award from Visit England.

Decorated in contemporary yet classic neutral tones, it has all the elements of a traditional cottage whilst being very spacious and having stylishly modern furnishings throughout. The cottage makes a unique base for a couple to enjoy a perfect, luxury break in the Lake District. Being only a short drive to Ambleside, Grasmere, Coniston or Windermere, it is a perfect base from which to explore some of the hidden treasures within the National Park.

Entering via the front porch, the stunning open-plan living room retains some original features, and has independently controllable ceiling, wall and table lighting to capture just the right mood at any time. On the right, a sofa and armchair surround the wood burner and adjacent Smart TV, perfect cosy for a cosy night in. On the left, a dining table with four chairs is set near the window with views across the village green. The European Oak staircase, (with glass panels) was made by local craftsmen and makes a fine centre piece to this principal room. Up two steps is the luxury kitchen, thoughtfully designed for ease of use with oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and accessories, providing all you need to create a romantic meal. Enjoy breakfast comfortably seated at the island unit looking out to the garden. On sunny, warm mornings, why not dine on the patio? For your convenience, a wc / cloakroom has also been thoughtfully and discretely provided on the ground floor. Heading up the oak stairs to the first floor you arrive in the large, sumptuously grand bedroom with high cathedral style ceiling and original beams. There is a king-size bed, another Smart TV and an armchair, to aid your relaxation, these complemented by more well-placed furniture and a small nook which holds plenty of storage. The en-suite shower room is stylishly decorated and equipped with high-end sanitary ware, overhead ‘rain’ and hand-held shower units complete the large walk-in shower facility. Back downstairs and exit the kitchen through the sliding patio doors into a treat of a garden, morning sun lands on the patio close to the kitchen and in the evenings on the upper level at the far end.

To complete your stay, head outside and relax in the sunshine in your private courtyard with BBQ. Take a seat in the stone-built shelter meaning you can enjoy the outside whatever the weather. Roadside parking immediately outside the cottage for one small / medium sized car.

Lovely comfortable and clean cottage only a short walk from Cartmel village. Car park space although small was big enough for my 4x4. Village is lovely with good choice of restaurants and only 15 min drive to Windermere where you can get boat to Bowness and Ambleside. Would have no hesitation in recommending

Cottage was excellent, high standard of decor and fittings. Kitchen was very well equipped, with everything we needed and more. Location was close enough for a short stroll to the village centre, but far enough away to avoid any noise.

We had a wonderful week in the cottage which was comfortable and well equiped. Great location in the charming villiage of cartmel. The Pig and whistle accross the road and the Cavendish Arms served good food, nice little shops in the village and the sticky toffee pudding from Cartmel villiage store is a must! Parking outside is a bonus as most placRead morees are limied to two hours we had an Audi Estate and the space was fine. Would certainly recomend a stay here and would definatly return. Hide

2 Bridges Cottages was a delightful base too explore the Southern Lakes and the peninsular coastline, The larger fells and lakes are a little further away but are an easy scenic drive for a day out. Cartmell had a real buzz and really enjoyed eating out in the village. Perfect for what we wanted.
