Cartmel Square

 

Aynsome Manor Park lies a half mile from the village of Cartmel, located on the Cartmel Peninsular, and surrounded by rolling hills that tumble down to the coast. The village is picture perfect, with ancient buildings, an impressive medieval priory, a towering arch and a sweet, clear river, all centred on the village square.

There are good local walks, notable Hampsfell and Eggerslack wood, a limestone fell, where the summit gives panoramic views of the Morecambe Bay and the Lake District Mountains.

The foot of Windermere lies about eight miles north of the village. Here you can hire boats at Fell Foot, or take lake cruises from Lakeside.

As well as exploring southern lakes, one of my favorite walks is to drive to Arnside, where you can begin a wonderful flat walk, hugging the edge of the bay, with miles of shimmering sand reaching out before you.

Back to the village, where among a maze of streets lined by lime-washed architecture, you have the village square entered by a bridge on one side and under a monastic arch on the other. There are two grocers and four decent pubs. For something a little special you can try Simon Rogan's Michelin awarded Enclume, one of Cumbrias finest restaurants or, set by the river, his other venue, Rogan's wine bar - very relaxed and with excellent cuisine.


As well as being very pretty, Cartmel boasts one other famous attraction, the Cartmel Race Course. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful English Lake District, the course is the smallest in the country, yet gets TV coverage with its exciting steeple to steeple chases. Along with the races there is always a fun fair where the whole event gives the village a great party atmosphere.


Ducks Haven

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.

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.

GUEST REVIEWS

"We were totally overwhelmed when we walked into the cottage - stunning!
The decor we thought was beautiful, everything is such good quality.
It feels so spacious here, even though it is actually not that big (we have two teenagers).
Cartmel is perfect, we walked into the village each evening to enjoy a drink and have dinner in the pubs. The Royal Oak was fantastic, and though quite a wait for food it was worth it..
We will tell our friends about Ducks Haven and will certainly come back, we are already planning our next visit.
Many thanks."

Dear Steve & Janine,
"We have had a wonderful week here, such a peaceful setting, a complete contrast to where we live. Your home is absolutely beautiful and sumptuously furnished and the kitchen is really well equipped. You have very good taste. We nearly didn't want to go out to explore due to the comfortable sofa! 
Thank you for a wonderful week, we would definitely recommend Ducks Haven to our friends and family."
