This was our second visit to Cartmel this year, and your property was our favourite. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and ideally located for village amenities, the many dining options and the village car park. The fresh flowers, Prosecco and chocolates awaiting our arrival were unexpected pleasures. We would have no hesitation in staying again.
