Cartmel Holiday Cottages

Our collection of Cartmel holiday cottages puts you right in the heart of this medieval village in the Lake District National Park. You'll find yourself surrounded by the stunning Lakeland fells with Cartmel Priory's magnificent 800-year-old church tower dominating the skyline. Each cottage offers something special for groups and families wanting an authentic Cumbrian experience.

Your stay brings you close to the famous Cartmel Racecourse and the village's celebrated sticky toffee pudding! Browse independent shops selling local produce or book a table at L'Enclume, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant. Couples can enjoy romantic walks through the Eea Valley whilst lodges with hot tubs provide the perfect retreat after exploring nearby Grange-over-Sands and Morecambe Bay.
