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!
The apartment was beautiful very clean cosy and had absolutely everything we needed . On our arrival we were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and snacks this was so lovely of val the host such a lovely gesture. Val also messaged the day after arrival to see if all was ok and we needed anything , the location was within walking distance of a shop , the pub pig & whistle and village of cartmel and a short drive to grange over sands. Would highly recommend this property ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The village setting, and inn were lovely.
The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The food(tea) and drink served before the fireplace was excellent, including my introduction to sticky toffee pudding.
Traditional English breakfast was a good start to our day.
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
This is a lovely little hotel situated close by to the centre of Cartmel with wonderful views across to the bay. It appears to be run by small teams of very pleasant young people who are hard working, efficient and friendly. The Cumbrian breakfast is superb.
The location. The house is in a quiet part of the village. Lovely view from the kitchen window. . We ate out all the time and found some lovely pubs in the village. We will definitely return to Cartmel.
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!
We loved this property. It has everything we needed. Everything has been done to a very high standard. Fantastic views, fabulous location, walking distance to everything in Cartmel.
this hotel is right in the middle of Cartmel. it was perfectly proportioned, with a lovely garden leading down to the river, a good bar and a decent breakfast with smiling staff.
We loved it, I don’t think we’ve ever stayed anywhere where the staff are as attentive as those at this wonderful hotel. It was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was amazing!
Brilliant location, right in the centre of Cartmel. Lovely beer garden at the back. Breakfast served at the Cartmel on the square across the road was great
