Discover this delightful home-from-home nestled in the sought-after Lakeland village of Cartmel. Stay as a couple or solo traveller and enjoy wonderful original features while relaxing in front of the warming wood burner that your canine companions are sure to adore.  Step outside, and you find yourself in the heart of a village that has a lot to offer, including dog-friendly pubs, a world-famous Michelin-starred restaurant, along with other fine dining options, charming local boutiques, and the renowned racecourse. If that's not enough, the stunning Lake Windermere is an 8-mile drive away. Embark on a day of adventure rediscovering some of the well-known towns and villages lining its shores, either by car or, for a more scenic route, indulge in a leisurely cruise with Fido by your side departing from Lakeside to reach Bowness, Windermere, or Ambleside. Alternatively, rent a motorboat and venture forth to view this captivating landscape from a whole new perspective.

Stepping through the shared hallway into this elegant ground‑floor retreat feels like entering a serene sanctuary—for you and your four‑legged companion. The lounge, wrapped in soft, calming tones, offers an inviting space to unwind after a day exploring the surrounding countryside. A plush sofa and the warm glow of the wood burner create the perfect setting for cosy evenings spent relaxing together, with plenty of room for your dog to curl up nearby.

The king‑sized bedroom is sumptuously dressed, offering a luxurious haven for restful nights. There’s generous space to store your belongings—and your dog’s essentials—so you can settle in effortlessly. The bathroom’s mood lighting and walk‑in shower provide a spa‑like experience as you prepare for a romantic night out or wind down after a long scenic walk.

If you’re dining in, the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare a special meal for two while your dog relaxes at your feet.

Step outside and you’re immediately in the heart of the village, with dog‑friendly pubs, charming eateries, and scenic walking routes right on your doorstep—making every moment of your getaway feel effortless, indulgent, and wonderfully welcoming for both of you.

Beautiful stay- thank you The only reason its 3 stars for value was because we went over the race weekend and so the cost was quite high
