“A perfect little getaway!”

The property was stunning and did not disappoint. The owners have completed this property to a high standard, combining the old with the new with ease. The bedrooms were comfy and well equipped but as a suggestion curtains would have enabled us to sleep past 5am and sunrise. Great communication with the owner to ensure our stay was perfect. The location was perfect for visiting nearby towns and beauty spots. Although the property is in a secluded spot it would benefit from blinds in the main lounge for a bit more privacy. We loved this property and would return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend.

Hi thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Points made have been taken on board - the lounge is a difficult one as some love the openness but agree blinds/curtain would give more privacy. Hope to see you again soon. Jo & Mark Property Owner

“The Old Water Mill is a beautiful old building that has had life breathed back into it with lots of love and care.”

The owners have filled it with high end quality items, which makes it feel like home. The views from the property are amazing from every window, especially the giant picture window in the lounge, where you can see the field of cows as neighbours. The cottage has everything you need from a fully equipped kitchen to board games a plenty to help entertain you on those rainy days. Furthermore, it is ideally located to Grange over Sands for all your grocery needs for your stay and Cartmel for an evening of racing or just eating sticky toffee pudding, which is a must. We will definitely be recommending to family and friends and hopefully returning ourselves very soon.

“Very good value for the rental price.”

In reality the cottage is better than the photos in the listing. Lovely convenient location, well equipped and well furnished. The open plan ground floor in particular is a great living area. It is spacious and has big windows that make it light and airy, but very comfortable. We have stayed in a lot of cottages over the years and "The Old Watermill" is one of the best. We would highly recommend it.

The property

Cartmel 2 miles. Old Watermill is a superb, 17th century water mill situated in the delightful village of Allithwaite, Cumbria. Originally erected in the 1600s, this watermill was once a hub of activity, grinding grains with the soothing symphony of cascading water as its soundtrack; now it is a wonderfully presented holiday home for families, friends and couples looking to explore the area. Step into the open-plan living space, a stunning, triple aspect room with high ceilings and a wonderful social space. The fitted kitchen is sure to encourage home-cooking, offering a breakfast bar, double electric oven and hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer and even a washing machine for your laundry needs. Serve culinary delights at the dining table before moving to the sitting area and cosying up before the woodburning stove. Venture upstairs to discover the bedrooms, offering a master king-size with Jack & Jill en-suite shower, a double bedroom with en suite and an adult bunk, each neutrally presented, whilst the family shower room is a contemporary spot to freshen up. Escape to the patio garden and enjoy a moment amidst peaceful surroundings; this is a lovely place to reflect on the day’s activities or enjoy a morning coffee. Just a moment’s stroll away is an excellent pub, The Pheasant Inn, where you can share stories over a pint or head to the village green for a picnic, framed by centuries-old trees and surrounded by charming cottages. Cartmel which boasts charming streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, traditional pubs and the acclaimed Michelin Star-awarded L'Enclume restaurant, as well as the beautiful ancient Priory and the racecourse, it is known as being the prettiest village in the Lake District. A scenic drive away lies the stunning Lake Windermere, where you can enjoy leisurely cruises and watersports on the water, whilst in the area there are lots more breathtaking paths and cycle tracks to explore within Grizedale Forest or around the coast towards Humphrey Head, with views over Morecambe Bay. Explore some of England’s finest beauty with a stay at Old Watermill.
