  • Spacious private walled garden with wild flower area, patio seating area and well-tended lawns
  • Prime location in the heart of much-loved Cartmel village, right opposite the Norman priory - no need to use the car
  • A superb holiday retreat which has been recognised by Visit England with a 5 star rating
Property code: LCC45

For special occasions and family get-togethers, this fabulous five-bedroom house in the ancient village of Cartmel offers a luxurious base from which to explore the Lake District. Admire the architecture of the 12th-century priory as you stroll through the village to pick up some produce in the local shops or enjoy a drink in one of the dog-friendly pubs. Sample local craft beers at Unsworth’s Yard Brewery (100 metres) where dogs are welcome, and discover how the beer is made.

 

Approached down a private road next to the priory, tails will wag at the spacious and elegant accommodation for the whole family. With a choice of lounges, both with warming wood burners, your hound can decide which room to snooze in as you relax after a day of outdoor activity. The sleek kitchen is a chef’s paradise, fully-equipped with everything you need to cater for the whole party. Take your meals in the formal dining room where you can linger late into the evening. When it’s time to retire, there are five luxurious bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors. Stepping outside, you’ll find a generous walled garden with wild flower area, where your hound can stretch their paws on the lawn as you enjoy an al fresco meal on the patio.

 

Spend the day at the races with your hound as your lucky charm at Cartmel Racecourse (1 mile), the National Hunt’s smallest racecourse. Sniff out your favourite walk through Eggerslack Woods (3 miles) where trails wind through the native trees and ferns. Discover the natural beauty of Lake Windermere (6 miles) with a ramble around the lakeside or take to the water with your canine as first mate onboard the traditional paddle steamer. Further afield, explore the lake towns of Kendal (15.5 miles) and Ulverston (13 miles) for a day wandering the quaint streets and browsing the dog-friendly galleries and craft shops.

We enjoyed a lovely family get together in this beautiful house. It was spotlessly clean and elegantly furnished. Cartmel is a very picturesque village and Priory House sits at the very heart of it.

Great house with plenty of history and great size. A classic period priory house very well decorated and great for either a small or large group as the house is very comfy and homely for what is a large house. The garden is great given its central location in Cartmel. The location of the house is perfect given access to the village and the pubs andRead more restaurants. Overall great house and would go back easily. Hide
