A rural retreat......

'Grange End Cottage' is situated in a uniquely secluded position in the heart of the small unspoiled village of Cark-in-Cartmel, just 2 minutes walk to the 'Engine Inn' a traditional English local's pub. The Cartmel Valley, with its gentle and attractive landscape of lush green fields and lazy rolling hills, makes a perfect base for a holiday. Pleasantly unaffected by the influx of tourism that can crowd the more central parts of the Lake District, this historic valley offers a very wide range of local attractions, from award winning restaurants and pubs, to gentle strolls through a medieval village.

Ideally situated......

Golfers can enjoy a round at a choice of two nearby courses, there are indoor tennis courts at Ulverston, and Cark railway station is just a four minute walk away, offering many easy day trip destinations along the picturesque coastal rail route. Within 20 miles of Cark there are 32 places of interest listed by the English tourist board, including Cumbria's premier stately home, Holker Hall, within easy walking distance.

Skiing Information:

Surprisingly, we don't always get a lot of snow in the Lake District apart form the very top of the highest mountains and you wouldn't want to ski on those craggy slopes! But if there is snow, ring Kendal Ski Club on 01539.733031 and they will tell you the best places to ski.

Golf Information:

There are two golf-courses within ten minutes drive of 'Grange End' holiday cottage. The nearest is 'Grange Fell' (015395.32536), just up the road. (Turn right at the 'Pig & Whistle' pub on the outskirts of Cartmel) It's built on the side of a fell! A 3 yard putt can end with your ball 200 yards down the fell-side. Good fun if you get it right, and your mates don't ! The next nearest is Grange Golf-Course (015395.33180). It's actually flat ! Then there's Ulverston (01229.582824), about 30 minutes drive, with stunning views right over Morecambe Bay. There's a further three within 30 minutes drive North. Windermere Golf Course (015394.43123), is on the Crook Road out of Bowness. It is the premier course in the area, and also the most expensive, with a very nice club-house. But my favourite is 'Beck-side' (01539.821415) just up the road from Windermere Golf Course (Turn right at the Sun Inn). A cracking 9-holer, (go round twice for £7.00!) with beautiful greens and stupendous views. Mustn't forget 'Carus Green' (01539. 721097) near Burneside, off the Kendal Road. Another boring flat one!
