    “Exceptional on every level.”

    This property ticks all the boxes on any criteria you would wish to choose. The accommodation itself is very comfortable (one of the very best beds I have slept in at a rental property) and is very well equipped. Karen and Martyn are great hosts....on hand when you need them and able to offer a mine of information on the local area.

    This property ticks all the boxes on any criteria you would wish to choose. The accommodation itself is very comfortable (one of the very best beds I have slept in at a rental property) and is very well equipped. Karen and Martyn are great hosts....on hand when you need them and able to offer a mine of information on the local area. I have been a regular use of Sykes properties for over a decade and I haven't stayed anywhere better or where I would be more keen to return to. They really have got things just right. The location is idyllic set up in the hills above Cartmel and there are several areas to sit out around the property. It is incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to relax. There is an easy walk from out of the back of the property down to Cartmel (a haven for those who are in search of great places to eat) I used the cottage as base for days out both to the lakes (Coniston and Windermere are both close by), for days walking in the hills (an almost infinite number of routes to choose from) and to spend time on the much under-rated Cumbrian coastline

Wall Nook Cottages

Cartmel 2 miles. These two fantastic stone barn conversions are set next door to each other in a lovely rural location outside the village of Beckside and two miles from Cartmel in Cumbria. With beautifully-appointed accommodation, feature beams and charming decor, these cottages are a lovely base for friends, a family or couples who are looking to explore Southern Cumbria. Both cottages are set over two floors and have open plan living areas with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable seating and a dining area. The cottages have very pretty, cosy bedrooms, most with en-suite facilities, which are delightful retreats at the end of the day. They also have the added benefit of laundry facilities. Outside is a shared tiered garden which has patio areas and a lawned area while Pheasant Cottage also has its own private patio area. At the top of the garden, which is reached via two sets of steep stone steps, is a fantastic patio area with furniture where the views reach out across the cottages to the surrounding countryside and breathtaking sunsets can be enjoyed. The village of Cartmel is just two miles away and can be reached via a footpath which leads from your doorstep across the fields. This is a beautiful location, ideal for having meals out as a visit to the Michelin starred L’Enclume restaurant is a must.

About the location

CARTMEL

The historic, South Lakeland village of Cartmel is renowned as the prettiest village in the Lake District. The Priory Church, one of the finest ecclesiastical buildings in the north of England, remains the heart of the community with its gatehouse forming the entrance to the village. The village features pretty streamside walks, quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, a charming gift shop, welcoming, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the famous sticky toffee pudding. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside, visit The National Hunt Racecourse, Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, Lakeland Motor Museum and Holker Hall with its spectacular gardens, all of which are close by. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings and mountain backdrop, is a mere 2 miles away, whilst Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a thirty minute drive. A superb holiday destination, at any time of year.
