This incredibly chic property, right in the heart of the pretty village of Cartmel, sleeps four guests, making it ideal for a small family getaway or a couples’ retreat. While away the hours pottering around the characterful village, exploring its artisan shops and quaint eateries. Don your finery and enjoy a day at the races at Cartmel Racecourse (just 100 metres away) or blow away the cobwebs with a seaside walk at Grange-over-Sands (2.5 miles).

The luxurious accommodation is sleek and stylish yet has plenty of character thanks to quirky design features and elegant accessories. Spend pleasant nights in together in the lounge, snuggled in front of the wood burner watching your favourite film on the Smart TV. There’s also a handy snug, again with a Smart TV, which is ideal if you have children staying with you who’d like a little independence in the evenings. The spacious kitchen/diner boasts a large seating area so you can enjoy mealtimes together. From here, patio doors lead to the secluded garden, where you’ll find a table and chairs to dine alfresco in the sunshine.

Cartmel Racecourse has a unique setting, against the backdrop of the beautiful surrounding fells. There’s a busy calendar of competitive jumps racing throughout the year, as well as other events. The atmosphere is relaxed, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own furniture and picnics to create a garden party vibe. Cartmel village is renowned for its fine dining restaurants and quaint cafes, so you have plenty of choice when it comes to eating out… and don’t forget to sample the village’s famous sticky toffee pudding! Nearby Holker Hall (2.5 miles) makes a lovely day out. Admire the fine display of antiques in the grand house and wander around the majestic gardens.
