This well-presented, detached house is situated in the popular Lakeland village of Cartmel in Cumbria, offering an abundance of shops and eateries close by.

The historic, South Lakeland village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District, and the Priory Church remains at its heart. The village features pretty streamside walks and quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, gift shops, traditional pubs and restaurants, or you can enjoy a day out at the racecourse. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst the beautiful, unspoiled countryside or visit the quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands nearby. Lake Windermere is a short drive away with plenty of options for all to enjoy from boat tours to hiring your own.

Enter through the front door into the lounge with its sofa and armchair surrounding the lovely wood burner-effect gas fire, the perfect location to sit and enjoy an evening drink or a book with a cup of tea. Head on through to the snug which has a large corner sofa by the TV with amazing skylights, ideal for a movie night. The kitchen has been designed with ease in mind with a breakfast bar for those early starts before a day of exploring. There is an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. On the first floor, there is a double bedroom, twin bedroom, and the bathroom with shower over bath and WC. On the second floor is the master double bedroom with Smart TV and en-suite shower and WC.

Outside you will find a patio area with seating to enjoy those fine evenings.

Brillant cottage, loved our stay, 3 generations all enjoyed + choc lab! All essential items were there along with welcome gift. Cottage was situatted between the race course and cavendish arms, nothing to far away in Cartmel! Just lovely, and we had wonderful weather to go with it! Will definitely return to this property.

Great 3 bedroom cottage in a quiet location yet very easy to navigate the village. The facilities provided had everything we could have possibly needed. Easy walking distance to the race course car park if you have more than 1 vehicle. 1 parking pass for the limited village parking is provided. We would stay again as a family.

Location is excellent, but for a property of this level (comparing it to others we have stayed at in the village), it was disappointing not to find any basics like milk or even salt and pepper in the cottage.

This is a lovely cottage in the centre of Cartmel. Lovingly converted from a family home to a holiday home, it is exceptional. Quite pricey but comparable to others. If you want to stay in such a great location, that is what it will cost you! As for Cartmel, fabulous village with great walks and sights on your doorstep. Don't miss Levenshall or SizRead moreergh Castle which are stunning, not to mention the priory church in Cartmel itself. Eat, drink and be merry on great pub food or fine dining. Hide

Nice cottage. A television in the living room would have been better in there rather than the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. Yard space very small for a dog friendly cottage.
