Designed for up to two guests, this charming escape is situated just 6 miles from the lively market town of Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria.

To the left, the delightful super-king-sized bedroom beckons, and the bathroom is the perfect place to start or end the day refreshed.

Cartmel cottage was very comfortable and spacious, and the facilities/equipment were good - cooking in the kitchen was a pleasure. The host Richard is very friendly and accommodating and great with communication. The setting of the property within it's grounds is very cool, with a quirky Victorian garden, red squirrels in the trees and sheep in theRead more field behind the property. Several good hikes are accessible directly from the property, and plenty more only a short drive away. :) Hide

Stayed for 4 nights in this perfect location. The cottage was very clean and really comfortable for our break. It was secluded and wonderfully quiet. It was only a 15 minute walk to the Fat Lamb pub for good food. Would also recommend the Kings Head at Ravenstonedale. We were able to go on lovely walks straight from the accommodation up onto the feRead morells nearby. We would definitely come again and would highly recommend this to other prospective guests. Hide

This is a delightful cottage in a truly peaceful location but close enough to good pubs and shops. The decor is of an excellent standard with everything you could need for a short break included. The bedroom with its Super Kingsize bed is a sumptuous cocoon where you can really relax, undisturbed by noise or too much light. The bathroom is well appRead moreointed and to have a full bath and wonderfully powerful and hot shower was bliss. If you want a quiet break and great views, this place is it! Hide
