This apartment is the converted servant's quarters of a gentleman's residence in the heart of one of Lakeland's prettiest villages, and just along the lane from L'Enclume - one of the very few UK restaurants with three Michelin stars. It offers a chance to forget the car, or use as a base to discover all the Lake District has to offer - Lake Windermere is a 15min drive away. The flat is not overlooked, and the main bedroom overlooks Cavendish St, just along from the famous arch, yet offeringpeace and quiet as we're at the top of the house, and above street noise. You can sit on the windowseat and just watch the world go by! Our living room has fab views, over to the smallest National Hunt racecourse in Britain.

Eat at the dining table inside, and observe the world around you as you gaze over the rooftops, and down onto our courtyard. This stone walled yard is for your exclusive use, and has a garden sofa and chairs for al fresco dining, a bench seat, and there are cushions and more chairs in our stone store - again for your exclusive use. So if you fancy soaking up the sunshine after a day's walking; a read with a glass of wine, then this is the perfect spot. The en suite master bedroom with kingsize bed looks out towards the Priory. Just off the village square, and adjoining the famous arch, the apartment is seconds away from great pubs, just along the lane from the UK's top restaurant, three Michelin starred L'Enclume, and an array of village shops. You can BBQ in the courtyard - the property's enclosed English Garden patio is your's alone to enjoy. Yards away is the racecourse and footpaths over the Fell are just beyond. The apartment retains bags of character, with beamed ceilings (and walls and floors!),. It's beautifully kept, and has had new kitchen, bathrooms, and refurbed bedrooms all in the last four years. Bed1 had new handbuilt furniture made and installed during summer '20. There's unlimited WiFi; flat screen TVs, with all catch up services on living room smart TV, and Alexa in there too! Integral DVD player in Bed1, and an Echo dot. Outside in the yard, as mentioned, is our store house to accommodate your bikes/outdoor paraphernalia. Well behaved dogs welcome by arrangement.

Parking restrictions have been introduced in the village. Alison can give you further details. There is a large race course car park (chargeable) about a thirty second walk away. And we have a parking permit we can loan during your stay, by arrangement

Other bits we'd like you to know: We've had lovely feedback about our place, and lots of repeat bookings. It's kept in beautiful condition. Some of our guests have come for lots of long weekends, others have had the place for six weeks at a time - we're really flexible on what we offer.
We do ask for a returnable, good housekeeping bond, depending on season, but usually £150, payable on key release, via bank transfer.
It's warmed by smart electric heaters. There's also a log stove effect fire in the living room, and heaters and towel rads in the bathrooms.
Full instructions on how to work everything, and where to find things, will be waiting for you. Alexa in the lounge; and Echo Dot and DVDs for Bed1; board games, cards, books, guide books and OSmaps are all left for your perusal.
And you'll find extra touches throughout the flat, to make your time at our place go smoothly and leave you wanting to come back again - hopefully !

    Fabulous place , great town , parking could be a pain , but we were lucky, we found a space each time we came back to the apartment … nothing should be made clear at the time of booking , if you want two bedrooms making up , if there is only two of you , (it’s an extra 20 to have the second bedroom making up ) only my thoughts but if you good a two bedroom apartment , that’s what you should get , also if there’s only two of you you don’t get bathroom towels !!! Just saying !!! Never had this before in any of the properties I’ve rented before ….. in saying all this , the apartment is lovely , beds lovely and comfy , and the owner was delightful , kept in touch the whole time

    The flat is nicely appointed and provided everything we needed. I felt like Mary Poppins with interesting rooftop views. Cartmel is a great experience with lovely walks from the property. The second bedroom has its limitations as can be seen in the photos but the rest of the property has plenty space and height.

    We had a short break in Cartmel in early October and stayed in this delightful property. Booking through Vrbo was quick and easy and Alison the host responded promptly to our numerous questions and provided excellent information about Cartmel and the surrounding area. Cartmel is a charming village surrounded by Cumbrian hills and has all the amenities required for pleasant stay. The flat is in the heart of the village, close to pubs, restaurants, shops, the racecourse and the wonderful Cumbrian coast and countryside. It has a lovely exterior courtyard and has been furnished with care and attention as befits a cherished family home. It was such a cosy space to spend time in when the weather was inclement. We visited all the pubs the village pubs and dined at the Pig & Whistle and the Cavendish arms which were both excellent. The ales from Unsworth Yard and the cheese from Cartmel cheeses and the breakfast at the B&B in the square were all fabulous. We had a lovely walk to Cark and back partially along the Cumbrian coastal path and were awestruck by the beautiful scenery. We had a lovely time staying in the loft in Cartmel and we hope to return. Thank you, Alison, for all your help and advice. Best wishes from, Alison & Ray
