If that isn’t enough, the amazing Lake Windemere is 9 miles away; explore the many well-known towns and villages on its shores. Why not take the lake cruise from Lakeside and head up to Bowness, Windermere, or Ambleside?

The bespoke kitchen area is well equipped. Here you can rustle up a meal and enjoy it at the table and chairs and plan the following day. Heading out of this room upstairs, you will find a spacious king-size and double bedroom, and a state-of-the-art bathroom with a designer shower.

Comfortable and well equipped generally. The parking permit system worked well whilst we were there in September. Some late night disturbance from the nearby pub on the Friday and Saturday. Cartmel is a lovely village...very peaceful at this time of year, and is close to other destinations worth visiting.
