Quintessential, luxurious and ideally placed for a culinary adventure, this impressive property is set at the heart of gorgeous Cartmel, a chocolate-box village set on the southern tip of the Lake District. Surrounded by independent food shops, tempting eateries and Michelin-star restaurants, this superb property sleeps four enthusiastic foodies in comfort. Prepare to kick back and relax in style, sampling the finest local fare and fine wine in front of an exciting film, your nearest and dearest by your side.

Elegant, impressive and beautifully styled, you’ll be sorely tempted to escape the blustery weather and unwind in the comfort of this exquisite property. Leave your muddy coats and shoes in the utility area and head into the lounge for some quality family time playing board games or watching TV in the lounge, delving into some delicious snacks and wriggling your toes by the wood burner-effect gas fire. Cook up a storm in the country-cottage-style kitchen, retreating through to the lounge/diner, which features a second gas-effect fire and TV/DVD. Upstairs, two exquisite bedrooms provide a welcome sanctuary after a busy day, boasting sumptuous bedding and impossibly soft towels. The master suite has a decadent en-suite bathroom with a celebrity-worthy corner bath and separate shower. The adjacent room has a fantastic en-suite and cosy twin beds. Outside, there is a pretty shingle courtyard and off-road parking for two cars.

Lace up your boots and amble across the fells at leisure, venturing down to the Victorian estuary town of Grange-over-Sands 2 miles away to explore the shops, artisan bakery and ornamental gardens – populated by lots of curious ducks and geese. Keen golfers have two courses to choose from within 3 miles, and you can easily hire bikes in Witherslack, 7.5 miles away, to discover the romantic wilderness from a new perspective.
