Overview
Property code: LCC10

Set in the beautiful and popular village of Cartmel and only six miles south of Lake Windermere, this delightful turn of the century cottage offers comfort, style and a beautiful location.

Located within walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants, this characterful two-bedroom cottage is to be found in the pretty village of Cartmel. Offering adults-only accommodation, it’s a perfect getaway for couples or friends, with some fantastic country walks on the doorstep. The shores of Lake Windermere are 6 miles away, making this an excellent base for exploring the area, while one dog is also welcome, so nobody needs to be left at home.

With subtle nods to its history, this delightful turn-of-the-century property boasts many contemporary touches to create a comfortable and inviting home. If you fancy eating in, then head into the well-equipped and stylish kitchen/diner where you’ll find everything you need to create a tasty meal for everyone to enjoy at the table. Retreat to the cosy lounge and put your feet up in front of the warming wood burner which adds to this elegant room’s ambience. Tastefully decorated in neutral, calming tones, the two upstairs bedrooms are both inviting and restful. Guests waking up in the king-size room will be treated to those lovely views over the fields. Outside, unwind with a glass of wine in the small courtyard with its charming patio garden – a lovely space to watch the sunset on a great day.

There are ample walking opportunities here. Explore the ancient woodland of Eggerslack Woods (3 miles) or travel a little further to Lake Windermere (7 miles) which boasts some great hikes, boat hire and water sports. Foodies need go no further than Cartmel itself to try out some great pubs or restaurants. Don’t forget to sample the sticky toffee pudding that makes this village so famous. Those craving a day at the beach should head to the pretty town of Grange-over-Sands, 2 miles away.

Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.

Please note there is a refundable £200 security deposit for this property payable closer to the start of your holiday.

Excellent property, had everything we wanted. Comfortable, great location. Loved, loved, loved it. Lived up to our expectations. Owners were very good to deal with. After a horrendous experience with Sykes Cottages in the summer we found holiday cottages brilliant and will use them again.

The cottage is kitted out to a high standard and is in a perfect location within Cartmel. Comfortable with lots of room it also has a nice kitchen. Id recommend making sure the fixed overhead shower is to your liking before making a longer stay.

We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing break here. Cartmel is just lovely & an ideal base for walks. Property very clean , you wouldn't think dogs were allowed . Impressed with the Covid precautions too. Excellent location. Nice touch with the complimentary Prosecco too. Would love to return next year.

This was our second stay in this excellently located and well equipped cottage. The kitchen diner is particularly nice making cooking easy and sociable. Those familiar with Cartmel will already know what a special place it is; whether you are fine diners or keen walkers. Easy access to quality food shops and takeaways (both in the village and closeRead more-by Grange-over-Sands) makes your stay even more of a pleasure. Hide

Cottage lovely and comfortable and a great location. Cartmel has to be the prettiest village in the Lake District. The perfect place to base yourselves as the pubs and restaurants are great to visit after a day touring round the Lakes.

We had a v relaxing time in this beautiful cottage. Bed, sofas etc were all very comfy and the dog friendly, enclosed courtyard was well used during a week of mainly sunny weather. We didnt cook during our stay, but could see that the kitchen was well equipped. There were basics provided such as tea, coffee and sugar and there was a bottle of proseRead morecco in the fridge when we arrived :) Cartmel was a great place to stay with so many places to eat (most welcome dogs) and lovely walks.

Brookside is a great holiday cottage, clean & tidy. The quality of the furniture/kitchen equipment was 5star. The beds were comfortable & there was plenty of hot water - the shower was fab. Would have been nice to receive a welcome hamper - the bottle of fizz was not great. Cartmel is a foody place, theyre missing a trick! Nothing else is supplied Read more- be sure to take all cooking condiments such as oil/ sauces. I was surprised that past guests havent left things for future guests! Hide

The Lake District National Park is a superb choice for a holiday. If you love nature and the great outdoors, the Lake District is one of the UK’s most beautiful holiday destinations. Taking up the lion’s share of the north-western county of Cumbria, the region has been popular with visitors since Victorian times, and it’s the only place to find mountains in England. Peace and tranquillity characterise the wonderful Lake District, with 16 lakes, including England’s longest and deepest, there is much to see and do. Visit Coniston Water, Ullswater, Wast Water and Windermere for just a taste of what you can see in the Lake District National Park.

Small towns like Ambleside, Windermere, Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere and Glenridding all make for great bases from which to relax and unwind between sojourns into the fantastic natural landscapes of the Lake District National Park. Wildlife and bird lovers can spot all kinds of lesser spotted species in situ, and walking trails reveal some of the very best vistas within English borders. To embellish the experience, you can enjoy some of the country’s cosiest pubs and restaurants, many found in picture-perfect locations.
