Cartmel 1.6 miles. Egg Pudding Stone is a charming holiday home named after a local stone used as a meeting point throughout the year and now provides a delightful escape nestled in the beautiful countryside of Field Broughton near Cartmel, Cumbria. This single-storey, former cow barn boasts a fantastic 3.5-acre garden and a warm, welcoming interior perfect for families, friends or couples looking to explore the wonders of Cumbria and the Lake District; best of all, you can bring your four-legged friends along too!
