Set in the medieval village of Cartmel, this traditional stone cottage offers a cosy and romantic base for your Lake District adventures. Sleeping two guests and welcoming one beloved pup, it’s sure to set tails wagging for couples and solo travellers holidaying with their faithful furry companion. Set between the southern shores of Lake Windermere and the Georgian seaside resort of Grange-over-Sands, it offers the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure.

Behind the traditional exterior of this two-storey cottage, you’ll find a stylish and contemporary interior that skilfully blends original features with modern creature comforts. Set beneath a heavy beamed ceiling, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the perfect space for your pack to spend quality time together. People watch from your window seat or rest weary legs after a day on the trails in the cosy lounge, your pup snoozing in front of the wood burner. The contemporary fitted kitchen is beautifully equipped with an oven, hob, built-in microwave, and a breakfast bar with two stools. Stairs lead from the front door to the first floor, where a romantic double bedroom invites a restful night’s sleep. A chic and contemporary first-floor shower room completes the interior.

Known as a foodie haven and the ‘home of sticky toffee pudding’, Cartmel has a superb selection of gourmet restaurants, shops, and dog-friendly pubs. Have a ball exploring this pretty village, taking in the historic priory and racecourse, and set off to explore the surrounding trails with Hampsfell and Eggerslack Wood local favourites. Lake Windermere (6.5 miles) has gorgeous walks aplenty, while your canine companion can accompany you on a lake cruise.

The Snug was brilliant. The location just outside, but within 2 mins walk of the village was perfect. A great base to explore the lakes and then return to tranquil Cartmel for lovely relaxed evenings and all the pubs and restaurants it has to offer.

We spent 3 nights in this wonderful cosy cottage. It was fabulous! Very comfortable, spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Ideally positioned within a few minutes walk into the village. Treat yourself to an amazing breakfast barm from the deli across the road. Delicious! Thoroughly recommend staying here, it was fantastic!

The cottage itself, the location and the thought put into the decor was lovely. We did enjoy our stay. It was unfortunately the lack of cleanliness in the kitchen and bathroom that spoilt it. We did think of taking photos but decided not to focus on the negatives.

A cosy little cottage just what we were looking and ideal for us for a restful break. It is a quiet area, parking worked out better than anticipated. There are no street lights therefore would recommend taking a torch and some hi-vis.
