About this property
Situated in the heart of Cark in Cartmel, alongside the River Aye, this recently refurbished ground floor mill apartment offers superb accommodation. Much care and attention has been given to ensure maximum comfort to guests staying at this apartment, which makes an excellent base for families and friends. With views across the river, the sitting area provides luxurious leather sofas to sink into at the end of the day. Outside is a terrace with furniture - a perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and listen to the river rushing by. The village of Cark has an excellent pub, village store and children's playground, while medieval Cartmel, home of the delicious sticky toffee pudding, is just 2 miles away, with its 12th century Priory.
Nearby is Holker Hall and Gardens, the home of Lord and Lady Cavendish who welcome visitors of all ages to one of the best-loved stately homes in Britain. Grange-over-Sands, a tranquil and charming Edwardian resort on the Cumbrian coast is also just on the doorstep, and not forgetting the Lake District of course, with its wealth of beautiful and stunning scenery! This apartment is a welcoming year-round base.
The small village of Cark in Cartmel lies just a couple of miles from its more famous neighbour, Cartmel, in lovely Lakeland countryside. Cark is a stop on the Furness railway, and visitors to the village will enjoy a stroll to the local beach, or a quiet pint in one of the two friendly pubs. Holker Hall house and deer park are just a short walk from Cark. Cartmel is renowned for its racecourse, and the town is well served with a selection of shops, traditional pubs and a Michelin starred restaurant. There is so much to enjoy in the area, from country walks to boat trips on Windermere or a trip to the seaside resort of Grange over Sands. A great Lakeland base for your holiday.

The only slight disappointment for us was the limited options for veggie/vegan food in Cark & Flookburgh. The Engine Inn is very nearby but no longer serves food. However the apartment is well-equipped for self-catering so it wasn't really a problem. Lots of lovely walks straight from the door, including saltmarsh, hills, extensive woods and the open deer park at Holker Hall.

Was stayng alone but would have easily been big enough for 4 people to stay comfortably. Had all amenities, cutlery, crockery, everything you could need to self cater. The tea, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch. Utility room on entering property was perfect for keeping walking boots, coats and letting clothes dry off. Living room was spacious and comfortable and small reading area in corner too. It was also very clean, especially considering dogs are allowed in the property. It was a lovely peaceful location. Plenty of walks from the property but also only 20-30mins to lakes. Would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend
