Savour a special stay at this handsome retreat in the Cumbrian village of Cartmel, close to the southern fringes of the scenic Lake District. Sleeping five guests, and welcoming four-legged friends, the enticing, three-bedroom cottage offers characterful, comfortable accommodation with an abundance of original features. It also boasts a gorgeous, walled garden where you can while away summer afternoons with friends and family.
Enter via the lobby and hall, shuffling off your wellies or walking boots as you pass. Wander through to the lounge/diner, where expansive windows allow the natural light to stream in. Settle in here to watch TV, listen to music or play games together on cosy nights in. Gather round the table for lively holiday meals and celebrations after preparing hearty feasts through in the kitchen/diner opposite. This airy room has a more modern feel and glass doors that can be opened to the garden on fine days. There is a breakfast table where you can pause with a cup of fresh coffee from the machine to enjoy the summer breeze. A WC can also be found downstairs, while the family bathroom is on the first floor. The bedrooms, a king-size, with an en-suite shower room, a double and a single, are also up here. Play games with any children or delighted dogs in your party out in the garden. Grill supper on the BBQ and watch your feathered friends in the trees and on the bird table.
Dine out and shop for local produce in the village or make a foray into Ulverston, 11 miles away. Take a scenic cruise out on the still waters of Windermere from Lakeside, 7 miles away, or spend time on the shores at the National Trust's Fell Foot, 8 miles from your base. Stroll along the promenade at Grange-over-Sands, 2.5 miles from the cottage.
