Nestled in the medieval village of Cartmel, this delightful cottage adds a touch of luxury to your Lake District stay. Located between the southern shores of Lake Windermere and the seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands on Morecambe Bay, there’s plenty here to set tails wagging. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic escape or a small family in need of a break, this immaculate cottage offers the perfect home from home, with man’s best friend by your side.
Laid out over two storeys, this stone cottage exudes character, charm and a genuine sense of warmth. Inside the traditional exterior, you’ll find a fresh and modern interior filled with thoughtful touches. The front door leads directly into an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that occupies the entire ground floor. Ideal for entertaining, this sociable space has a cosy lounge where you can rest weary legs after a day on the trails while your pups stretch out in front of the flame-effect electric fire. This flows into a bespoke kitchen with all the amenities you need to prepare delicious meals from the region’s superb local produce. There’s a breakfast bar for casual meals or throw open the patio doors and dine alfresco on the patio, gazing across the open fields to the rear of the property. Stairs lead up from the front entrance to two elegant bedrooms, a king-size and a double, plus a chic bathroom with a free-standing tub and a separate shower.
With a reputation as a foodie haven and the ‘home of sticky toffee pudding’, Cartmel offers a wealth of gourmet restaurants and shops, and a choice of dog-friendly pubs. Sniff out adventure on the surrounding trails, passing the historic priory and racecourse as you head towards Hampsfell and Eggerslack Wood, 3 miles. There are walkies aplenty at Lake Windermere (6.5 miles), plus your canine companions can join you on a lake cruise.
