Property code: OC-90891

Explore some of the hidden treasures of the Lake District, from the rustic charm of the postcard-perfect village of Cartmel to the coastal walks around the Cartmel Peninsula a stone’s throw from this countryside retreat. A true home-from-home, this is the perfect dog-friendly spot for families to spend quality time together away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Boasting a wood burner, a soothing neutral colour palette and plenty of plush sofas, the lounge and adjoining snug have a truly warming, homely ambience that’s perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day with the whole family. As the evening draws in, grab your local produce and head into the light and bright kitchen/diner to rustle up a feast to feed the crowd seated around the dining table. Upstairs, you’ll find two king-size and two double bedrooms that all feature wonderfully green, leafy views to choose between for a well-deserved rest. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine from the comfort of the patio as children and four-legged friends let off steam roaming around the enclosed lawned garden.

The quaint cobbled streets, bespoke shops, quality eateries and medieval priory of the picturesque village of Cartmel create a delightful olde-worlde feel that immerses you into the heritage of the local area. Against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery of the South Lakeland Fells, enjoy an unforgettable family day at the races at Cartmel Racecourse just over 2 miles away or dive deeper into the rich history of the area by exploring Cartmel Priory 2 miles away. Keen walkers and steady ramblers alike can enjoy long walks down the promenade at the idyllic Victorian seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands 2 miles away or join the coastal walks around the Cartmel Peninsula (3.5 miles) and Humphrey Head (2 miles).

This was a fabulous place to spend Christmas. The cottage is spacious and well equipped. The owners had left a beautiful festive hamper, which was very much appreciated. Not as isolated as it looks on the photos but nevertheless, the location is gorgeous.

7 adults and a baby enjoyed this deceptively spacious cottage. Unfortunately light switch failed in second bathroom which was a small inconvenience and owner very apologetic. Broken kettle replaced very quickly. Comfortable beds, sofa and chairs could do with an update in our opinion. Great area for accessing south lakes and G/sands has some lovelyRead more shops and Cartmel too. Ate our body weight in sticky toffee pudding. Lovely Sunday lunch at Pheasant Inn. Hide

Spacious , comfortable house . Big enough to accommodate different activities - TV watching , reading snug , open plan diner/ kitchen , outside patio , without being too big that everyone is separate . Woodfired hot tub fun once we googled how to light it properly

We booked this cottage for a little surprise weekend hendo. It was just perfect. It was very very clean and well equipped and spacious for all 8 of us. It catered for everything and even came with a lovely welcome hamper. It is in a lovely location and the only downside was we had to go home after a magical weekend.
