Fantastic location with great views. Comfortable, spacious and clean. But the best part has to be the people. Dylan is a credit to his parents. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect and we can’t thank him enough for his generosity and help. Legend!

The property was well placed, on a river for which we had a lake view which was lovely. Spa facility was really nice although almost cost as much as proper, don’t really think it was worth £50pp at all unless treatments already included
Cartmel was great for our weekend away. In itself, there is not a great deal to do unless the races are on, at which times I suggest it would be very busy, but it is a great staging post for multiple attractions within easy reach.
There are enough cafes, pubs and hotels in the village and all of those we patronised offered a warm welcome and good service. We stayed in the Cavendish Arms, ate at the Kings Arms and the Unsworth Courtyard and had a few cafe visits to the Mallard. I wholly recommend all three.

A compact and picturesque little village; a good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants - not cheap, but very welcoming. We especially enjoyed the live music and pizza night on Saturday at the Cheese Shop. Excellent base as a location for exploring the Lakes; as long as you have access to bikes or a car - there's not much in the way of public transport.

Delightful, friendly, well-equipped and pretty village.
Delightful, friendly, well-equipped and pretty village. Some local walks were recommended by locals and were gorgeous. The shops are perfect, great selection of stock and utterly charming. The pubs are really good, the Royal Oak serves huge portions of well cooked and flavourful, homemade food with a friendly welcome. Easy drive to seriously beautiful spots of Keswick, Coniston and Windermere. Went to Cumbria zoo which is lovely. Not to mention the next level spectacular that is L’Enclume in the village. Highly recommend.

Caramel is a beautiful, small village with many pubs and restaurants and a few shops to browse. It’s peaceful and a lovely place to stop for a coffee or alcoholic beverage. There is a great cheese deli where you can choose from lots of different cheeses made locally and even try before you buy with a glass of wine or locally made ale. The famous mitchelin star restaurant L’Enclume is amazing and of course there is the famous sticky toffee pudding shop.

Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village.
Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village. It is lovely to stroll around.
Quaint little antique and book shops, lovely little square with inns around it, the church, sheep and lambs in the fields. Lovely!
Our expectations were high when we saw it but...
There is almost no parking in the village except for 1hr or 2hr slots. Not much use for staying guests. The nearest overnight car parking was at the race course. £10 overnight charge. The card payment was not working. Coins only!!! We and others were searching for £10 in coins so that we could leave in the morning!
Cartmel is largely shut from Sunday to Wednesday (slight exaggeration but you get the drift). Eateries close early or are not open at all.
Cartmel has its own brewery. The brewery eatery only does Thurs, Fri, Sat!
Thanks goodness for the Pig and Whistle which is only a short walk from the centre. If you want good food, good drink all at reasonable prices then it is a life saver. There is also free parking nearby which you can use overnight. To be clear I have no affiliation to it but it did serve us well. We ate and drank there other than on our first night.
Fantastic bed and breakfast in the epicentre of lovely Cartmel. Communication with Rachel prior to arrival was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, both the public areas and the room in which we stayed. The room, recently re-decorated, is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Modern bathroom, super comfrotable bed, tea kettle/espresso machine - who needs more? Breakfast was stellar, be it the full English or the continental. We'll be delighted to come back and we thank Rachel for making our weekend in Cartmel special!
We wanted to stay in Cartmel as we had a late reservation to eat there. The hotel satisfied the desire of being right in Cartmel and an easy walk from the restaurant. The staff we encountered were all warm and welcoming to us. The en-suite bathroom was updated and gleaming. The restaurant area of the hotel had a cozy, historic character.
The entire property was stunning, it was clean, and the room was lovely and spacious. Our hosts were really friendly and attentive, and made sure our stay was very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, and the location of the Aynsome was incredibly beautiful and quiet, and only a short drive/walk into Cartmel. We would definitely stay again!!
Excellent location, on street parking directly outside with permit (provided). Warm and cosy and easy to adjust temperature of central heating. Very clean. Bathroom was a lovely size and all rooms were well equipped and comfortable. It was exactly what we had hoped for. A great location for dining in Cartmel.
Location was perfect, close walk to the centre of cartmel. Private location with beautiful views. The camping pod was perfect for what we needed, kettle, toaster and microwave aswel and a tv. The pod was a great size and very private. Will definitely be returning.
Staff - attentive, regularly checking service, but not over the top. Great views with beautiful sunset if you're lucky. Traditional restaurant menu (not classic pub food) chicken and steak meals we ordered were delicious, hot and plentiful. Good choice of hotel
Fantastic stay. Lovely traditional pub, comfortable, spacious room, very friendly staff. We stayed on a Thursday and Friday night so pub was very lively with live music and great local community feel. Brilliant location in the middle of Cartmel.
Hotel was in a fantastic location for Cartmel and the races. Very friendly staff who couldn’t be more helpful. Bedrooms were very clean and light with extremely comfortable beds. Breakfast was lovely.
Feels like home.luxury home.very nice cabin.2 floors.all new.hi quality furniture and kitchen appliances. Washing machine and dryer. Lovely. Highly recommended. Owner is very nice.one if the best!
Staff very welcoming and accommodating, breakfast basic but good, room lovely, location perfect - if you're going to Cartmel, you're not leaving it, so location is hard to get wrong!
