    “Great central location with easy access to reasonable paid 24hr long stay car parking at very close race course.”

    Cartmel was warm, quaint and incredibly welcoming. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon local cricket match on the race course. This was ecommended by a local and we took a picnic and had a few drinks in the clubhouse which was refreshing and socially relaxing. We couldn't resist the opportunity to dine at one of the Simon Rogans restaurants. The experience was amazing and highly recommended. As for for the Old Bookshop...where do we start...it was so cosy, stylish, quirky and perfect for our ...

    Cartmel was warm, quaint and incredibly welcoming. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon local cricket match on the race course.

We couldn't resist the opportunity to dine at one of the Simon Rogans restaurants. The experience was amazing and highly recommended. As for for the Old Bookshop...where do we start...it was so cosy, stylish, quirky and perfect for our needs. It was a secret tardis of discovery due to the unexpected space and clever & niche nterior design. The vendor provided every requirement needed for our break. We would not hesitate to return.

About the location

CARTMEL

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Bowness on Windermere 12 miles.

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 Cartmel 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.
