Bursting with character and charm, this delightful, terraced cottage sits in the foodie haven of Cartmel on the fringe of the Lake District.

Perfect for couples, solo travellers and dog lovers, this pretty cottage is cosy and welcoming, blending rustic features with high-quality furnishings and fittings for a home-from-home ambience.

Laid out over two storeys, this delightful cottage has an abundance of rustic charm. It combines exposed beams and slate flooring with country-style furnishings and high-quality appliances. The heart of the property is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Spend quality time with your loved one, relaxing by the wood burner in the lounge, which features a cushy sofa and a love seat in the window.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at The Snug, Cartmel. The village is outstanding and in a very good location to explore more of the surrounding area. I would say that you really need a week or longer stay to get the most from it.

A really lovely snug cottage which was just perfect for the two of us, and in a wonderful location too. A generous welcome pack in the kitchen was much appreciated. Worth noting that the stairs are quite tricky so might be a problem if mobility is restricted.

We loved our week at The Snug. A cosy spot to relax after lots of walks in the area, great shower and kitchen.

We spent 3 nights in this wonderful cosy cottage. It was fabulous! Very comfortable, spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideally positioned within a few minutes walk into the village. Treat yourself to an amazing breakfast barm from the deli across the road. Delicious! Thoroughly recommend staying here, it was fantastic!
