About this property
A cosy mid-terrace cottage located in the quaint village of Cark in Cartmel, benefiting from a secluded garden and from being just two miles from the priory village of Cartmel and eight miles from Lake Windermere.

This welcoming cottage has a light and airy open plan living area with patio doors leading out to the pretty garden.

There are numerous walks from the village, including a lovely river path to Holker Hall and Gardens, which also has a lovely tea room serving excellent breakfasts and lunches. The ancient priory village of Cartmel is nearby and has a host of excellent restaurants and pubs, plus specialist shops including the Cartmel Village Shop, home of the sticky toffee pudding. Within 45 minutes' drive are the pretty Lakeland villages of Coniston, Hawkshead and Grasmere and Lakeside, the tip of Lake Windermere, is just eight miles away and is home to the Aquarium of the Lakes and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway.

The small village of Cark in Cartmel lies just a couple of miles from its more famous neighbour, Cartmel, in lovely Lakeland countryside.

Ian
This is a lovely modern cottage set in a traditional designed courtyard on the edge of Cark.It is extremely well furnished with everything you could ever need. Bed was super comfy and the whole house is spotless. A pub and shop within walking distance and loads of walks for our dog (and us). The fully enclosed west facing sun trap of a back garden is lovely to enjoy a leisurely drink after a busy day in the lakes. You won't be disappointed.

Just one thing, patio doors are very hard to open and close and it also needs a step down onto the patio ie too high for old knees.. Overall very good indeed.

Beds need attention too soft. Cobwebs in corners at bottom of beds. Shower not adequate, needs a more powerful one. Overall nice stay.
