    “This was a lovely comfortable and spacious apartment.”

    The house had character. Modern interior inkeeping with its historical exterior. Comfortable bed and well equipt kitchen. The owners parents were on-hand to help, when I could not find the instructions to operate the washing machine. (Someone had put the instruction leaflet in a cupboard rather than back in the folder.)

    The house had character. Modern interior inkeeping with its historical exterior. Comfortable bed and well equipt kitchen. The owners parents were on-hand to help, when I could not find the instructions to operate the washing machine. (Someone had put the instruction leaflet in a cupboard rather than back in the folder.) They were very helpful and friendly. The location is lovely for walking. It is also close to the railway station. We had a good stay. It was not really a holiday as we had our bathroom refurbished into a wet room and needed to move out for a few days. We could not move too far from home as my husband had a medical appointment at Furness General. We did make a very good break out of our stay. Only downside was the lack of Wi Fi. Fortunately I had enough data on my phone, but my husband did not have much. We should have checked. I just assume everywhere has Wi Fi these days. Other than that the place was marvelous.

About the location

CARK IN CARTMEL

Cartmel 2 miles; Bowness on Windermere 16 miles.

Cark in Cartmel is a small Lakeland village just two miles from Cartmel, one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District. Cark is well served by the Furness line railway, and features pretty streamside strolls, lovely walks to the local coastline overlooking Morecambe Bay, two fine traditional old pubs and a scattering of small shops. It is a very short stroll from here to Holker Hall, the stately home of Lord Cavendish, whose house, gardens and deer park are open to the public and also now home to a licensed brasserie The Ilex. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful unspoilt countryside or visit The National Hunt Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition and the Lakeland Motor Museum, all close by. Nearby Cartmel offers quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, charming gift shops, welcoming traditional pubs serving real ales, and the nationally acclaimed Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings, mountain backdrop, fabulous sea views, promenade and two golf courses is four miles away. Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a fifteen minute drive. A superb holiday destination at any time of year.
