Cottage holiday rentals in Cartmel

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

We booked Upper Crumble cottage to celebrate my husbands birthday and my retirement. It was everything we wanted it to be . The setting is amazing, so beautiful and peaceful. The blue bell wood was in flower and well worth the walk around. The cottage itself was spotless, good quality bedding/towels. Well stocked kitchen, we ate out at a few recommended restaurants from an abundance of leaflets etc in the cottage, but also cooked and had cosy nights in after any days that had involved alot of walking. The hot tub was that little extra to feel really pampered. Sarah and Stewart were extremely helpful and were more than happy to show us the amazing garden and let us stroll round at our leisure. It has to be seen to be believed, stunning. The cottage is perfectly placed to visit many places, most were 20-30 mins away, some closer. We felt so at home, if only it was!! Hosts superb, and that's not because they provided some bubbly to help us celebrate. We will most certainly be back.

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

we had a fantastic stay. thank you for making it so welcoming and dog friendly we all had a great time using it as a base to explore the lakes! the hot tub was bliss. the property was immaculate and Kev very friendly and responsive. thank you so much xx

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Amazing stay with my family, lovely host, the most comfortable beds and a added extra of fluffy robes and slippers to use x

Great cottage, had everything we need and the location was great for what we were doing. Hot tub was an added bonus for the trip.

Michael's place was a perfect base for our 5 days in the Lakes. The house was really well set up with a fully equipped kitchen, balcony with great views, wood burner and TV with netflix. The bed was super comfy although as others have noted there are low ceilings downstairs (where bedrooms and bathroom are) so not ideal if you're tall. I'm 6ft and I could just get away without ducking when walking around, however the shower was awkward to use and I had to contort myself to avoid bumping my head. That's a minor issue though as otherwise the place was great. The location is also very convenient for accessing lots of lovely parts of the Lakes - we didn't need to use the car for 2 of the days, spending one on Ullswater and Aire Force waterfalls, and another climbing Helvellyn, both walkable from the house.

We had a great family stay at Fell Cottage to celebrate my 65th. Lynn was a very proactive communicator and always quick to respond to any messages left for her. The cottage is exactly as stated in the descriptions and photos and spotlessly clean on arrival. The house manual had lots of great recommendations for walks and places to eat. The cottage has great access to Coniston Water and to the Old Man. Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball with us, but it didn't spoil our stay. Fell Cottage gets a whole hearted recommendation from us.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage on Wastwater. The setting is stunning — right on the lake and surrounded by beautiful walking routes, perfect for exploring with our 18-month-old and dog. The cottage is tucked away on a peaceful farm with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the views. It’s quite remote, with the nearest proper shop about 30 minutes away, but the nearby campsite shop (just half a mile down the road) had the essentials we needed. Other than that, everything was perfect. A truly relaxing break in a beautiful location — we’d definitely recommend it!

Great little bolt hole in the centre of Kendal. Does the job for a few nights, a couple and dog. Close to all local amenities. Furnished really well, very clean, lots of extras. Tight archway to get don with the car, we had a Tesla Y and managed it ok with folded wing mirrors 😉. Well done Gaz, top place 👍👍

Great stay. Perfect base for our 3 peaks walk. Clean, clutter free and dog friendly. Powerful shower to help ease our weary limbs. Comfy bed, sofa and the kitchen had most things we needed for our stay. And great value for money. What more could you want!

We really enjoyed a few days in Ian's spacious cottage, which is in a great location with easy access to Windermere and Ambleside. A well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds were much appreciated.

We had a great time at this lovely, comfortable, characterful house. We enjoyed the sound of the river flowing by as we ate and enjoyed drinks in the garden. The house was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It is located in a beautiful village with a shop and traditional pub serving lovely food. Great dog walks right from the door. We would love to return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, it is lovely and spacious, the garden was a bonus, and the area is beautiful and peaceful. Emma has thought of things you may need to make your stay enjoyable, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. We would highly recommend a stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, a great base to enjoy this part of the Lake District.

The property is perfect for a break in the Lake District! There is everything you need for a comfortable stay amenities wise - the bed is comfortable and spacious, and there is a nice garden at the back to sit in and enjoy the view. The location is perfect - picturesque views across the hills and valley from the bedroom window with forests surrounding the broader area. The property is hidden away along countryside roads with minimal cars passing through - so perfect for some peace and quiet in nature - however only a short drive to local shops and not far from Ambleside, lake Windermere and Grasmere so it is great as a base to explore the main attractions of the Lake District, while also recharging away from the business of the towns. Glen is a fantastic host who welcomed us very nicely and offered lots of advice on things to do in the area and more. He was very friendly and made us us feel very welcome. We recommend staying here very much and hope to return. Thanks Glen!

Good location for our trip to the Lakes and Grange over sands. Near Kendal with plenty of shops. Quiet lane to walk the dogs. Private parking. The place itself was great. A welcome bit of milk and other treats, thoughtfully done. Linen and towels fresh and comfy beds. High ceiling, cool for the dogs. Kitchen well provisioned. Kirsty was around and gave us some local tips. Private garden area. Easy check in and out. Even details down to the nice hand soap! Thanks for everything!

We arrived at our holiday home at the same time as Elizabeth. She made us most welcome. Recommended the Farmer pub up the road that was superb but huge portions. Must book we learnt. 20 of our family were staying locally so we met up and had fun packed week. Celebrations of our great granddaughters 1st birthday.

Lovely little cottage tucked away about 15/20 mins walk from the centre of Kendal (depending on how slow you walk up hill, and I walk slow!) Spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need. Super comfy bed as well which I did not want to get out of! Thanks so much 💜

Absolutely stunning cottage & you couldn't ask for a more wonderful host. Felt like a real home from home. Perfect location, spotless, presented so beautifully. We will definitely return.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay, in a beautiful place to venture. We are holiday hikers but wanted a really relaxed weekend away, so this place was perfect. We could walk around the village, and walk up to devils bridge for a lovely stroll along the river! The scenery was gorgeous. The cottage was perfect! The kitchen had everything you needed with regards to cutlery, pots, pans and utensils, although we could have done with a few cleaning products. But, the spar is just up the road so we bought some extra bits. The living area was lovely and spacious, with the added addition of books (although I brought my own) so don't worry if you forget yours! The bed was super clean and comfortable, we had a great sleep despite the heat! The added fan was great! In the area the restaurants were lovely! The local brewery brilliant, totally fitted with our vibe. The night life was great! The gifts shops were gorgeous albeit similar! I would definitely stay here again! 🌟

Very nice cottage in quiet location but easily walkable into local amenities

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! The location was perfect—secluded enough for peace and quiet.The interior was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen and comfy bedding. Leo is a very good host,always responsive. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.
