Apartment 5 - Aynsome Manor Park - Cartmel
Sleeps 4 - Map Ref F5 - VB 4 Star
Friday Changeover

Aynsome Manor Park lies a half mile from the village of Cartmel, one of Cumbria's finest and unique villages. Here you will find a magnificent Norman Priory and a national hunt racecourse; shops selling books and antiques; four pubs and the Michelin awarded Enclume, one of Cumbria’s finest restaurants.


Ducks Haven is one of a group adjoining apartments and cottages that flank a small shared courtyard. The building was formerly the old mill and is separate from the main park, which offers privately owned lodges.

The village is very popular with visitors, well served with pubs,
restaurants and shops, along with the deli and grocer.

The Priory is magnificent, totally out of proportion to the village and well worth a visit.

There are plenty of easy local walks and bike rides. For the best view, a walk up onto Hampsfell is a must, with its 'limestone pavement', etched with deep cracks and a perfect panoramic view across the Morecambe Bay.

From the shared courtyard you enter a communal hall, then into the property.

Open plan, you have a small hall area leading through to a well appointed kitchen, opening out to the dining area and sitting room.

Light, airy and modern, you have a big comfy sofa and arm chair to relax in, put your feet up, read the latest best seller, or maybe take in a movie on the big wide screen TV.

There are two bedrooms, one a double the second a twin, both very comfortable and well furnished. The shower room has shower cubicle, basin and WC.

To the rear the windows look out onto a shared garden space overlooking the duck pond. Each apartment tends to have its "own bit" Here you can sit with a drink, have a barbecue on a warm summer night and watch the coming and goings of pond life.

All in all, this is a very relaxing and romantic apartment, perfect for couples or a small family.
