Photos and Description of this Cumbria - Lake District holiday apartment Village centre: 2 Bedrooms, with LCD TV and DVD, 2 Bathrooms, sleeps 4

The converted servant's quarters of a gentleman's residence in the heart of one of Lakeland's prettiest villages offers a chance to forget the car, or use as a base to discover all the Lake District has to offer - Lake Windermere is a 10min drive away. Our living room has fab views, over to the smallest National Hunt racecourse in Britain. The en suite master bedroom looks out towards the Priory. Just off the village square, and adjoining the famous arch, the apartment is seconds away from three great pubs, a Michelin starred restaurant and an array of village stores and antique shops. Yards away is the racecourse and footpaths over the Fell are just beyond. The apartment retains bags of character, with beamed ceilings (and walls!),. It's recently been refurbished, has new kitchen and bathrooms; digital LCD TVs and DVDs in both bedrooms and living room, PS2, washer/dryer etc. Outside is our walled courtyard, with table and seating, and our store house to accommodate your bikes.

Cartmel is in south Lakeland, a 10min drive away from Windermere's shores. If you prefer, forget your car: walk the Fells, reach the coast or potter through the cobbled streets straight from the flat. Holker Hall, with its stunning grounds, is walkable too. Other local attractions include Grizedale forest, the homes of Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth, and Ruskin. It's a great base to explore all the Lakes has to offer. Spectacular scenery is yours for the walking, or just enjoy looking at it from our windows. You can't fail to enjoy staying in one of England's prettiest villages. The genteel seaside town of Grange is 3miles away. And the three race meetings in Cartmel each year offer the opportunity to see the village at its daftest and busiest - but book early as the entire place gets booked up for the these great festivals. But rest assured, that while in the hub of the village, you'll get peace and quiet, with your own private courtyard to sit in too.

Additional information about rental rates

  • We work on a 10am departure, 3pm arrival.
    We're very flexible over what you book, but please don't be offended when we add a premium to short breaks in peak season, for race weekends, or for last minute bookings. We'll tell you the price at point of inquiry and there'll be no hidden extras. We don't usually accept two night bookings.
    At weekends for instance, if you want to stay for only two nights, booking the third means you can vacate the flat any time you like on the Sunday. Leave in the evening when the motorway traffic's died down, so you get a full day's enjoyment, and arrive home as relaxed as you've been all weekend!
  • 20% deposit required at time of booking; or payment in full please if booking within six weeks.
    We also request a £100/wk 'good housekeeping' bond when paying the balance (extra for Xmas n New Yr and in all cases, 6 weeks prior to arrival date please) which will be returned after departure. Any extraordinary cleaning charges/breakages would be deducted from this, although up to date all bonds have been returned in full, as the place has been looked after by all who've stayed!

Notes: This is in effect, a second floor flat with an exterior staircase so is unsuitable for the infirm or the very young. For this reason, and because of the sash windows in the main bedroom, we are unable to accommodate children under 7yrs. It's very romantic so ideal for a relaxing getaway, and great for having a couple of friends to come over for part of your stay - we've had great reports from people who've done this! Please note that this is our holiday home too, so it's really well looked after. Our stairs up to the flat go from our own courtyard. We have a shed which can store any outdoor paraphernalia you might wish to bring: bikes, climbing gear etc, and while the patio is ours alone, please note that three other privately owned flats have their entries from a shared alleyway just below our courtyard.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Cumbria - Lake District, United Kingdom

Other bits you'd like to know: The flat's warmed by newly installed night storage heaters. Full instructions will be left for you on how to control the temperature. There's also a log stove effect fire in the living room, and heaters in the bathrooms. Please note, as of Aug `08, we hope not to appear money grabbing in leaving an honesty box for 'pay as you use' use of washer/dryer. Because of the huge utility price rises, we cannot afford to ignore the significant increase in our bills. Full instructions on how to work everything, and where to find things, will be waiting for you. Board games, PS2games, cards, books, guide books and OSmaps are all left for your perusal. And you'll find extra touches throughout the flat, to make your time at our place go smoothly and leave you wanting to come back again - hopefully !

Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
this property was wonderful. It was very clean and modern with all mod cons. It is central and therefore convenient for everything. We would definately go here again.
Owner's Response: It's great to get reviews posted on the website, unprompted, which echo all those in our visitor book at the flat. Our thanks go out to our guests who've helped keep our property in such lovely condition. It's our second home, not just an investment, is our pride and joy, and lovely to get such great feedback. Cheers!

Excellent Property and Excellent Location

Befeny Camberley
Review Submitted: September 16, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
I stayed from 6th - 13th September with my partner in this beautiful location and flat.

The village itself is very cute, with a few lovely restaurants. I would reccommend Rogans for the food although we were a little disappointed at the level of indifference the staff seemed to have.

Aside from that we had excellent fun in the surrounding area with alot of immediate walking routes on your doorstep. we also enjoyed jumping in the car and visiting all the local tourist spots (coniston, windemere, coniston old man, honister slate mine, the zoo, the car museum..to name but a few).

All in all a brilliant holiday and will definitely be returning.

A lovely flat in a very pretty village. The flat is very well situated central to all activities in Cartmel. Very cosy and homely and well maintained. We will definately return. When visiting make time to visit L'Enclume the Michelin star restaurant just a minute down the street, fantastic!!!!
