“Exceptional country house”
Wonderful property with top class furnishings.
This spacious property is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The gardens are superb with spectacular views.
The heated summer house (with fridge!) makes for very pleasant evenings when the weather is cooler or even wet.
A very pleasant 20 minute walk into Cartmel – Christine McNabola

Great house with fantastic views!!
Enjoyed walking down to Cartmel via Walton Hall Farm and the racecourse. Great food at the Cavendish Arms.
The first two days we had lovely sunshine and enjoyed sitting in the garden and the summer house!
Great place this to get together and spend some quality time – Chris, Tom, Dave, Becki & dogs

“Fantastic cottage in most beautiful location”
A real home from home. You could not wish for anything else.
We have had the pleasure of staying in lots of self-catering cottages over the years and this one is top of our league table!!
Everything you need to leave the real world behind switch off your phone and TV and simply enjoy the surroundings. The cottage is spotless fantastically equipped and in an amazing location.
Top tip if you haven’t got a dog of your own borrow someone else’s the walks from the door are fabulous. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Our weather was fantastic which of course added further to our enjoyment. We plan to return as soon as work commitments will allow.
Stay here you won’t regret it – Steven

“Amazing house!”
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed Cartmel Hill.
The house is beautiful, even nicer than expected, so spacious. Lots of room for our group of 7, so nice to have so many bathrooms and living space to spread out when we wanted.
The summer house is awesome, what a wonderful place to have a glass of wine and play some games at night.
Cartmel village is wonderful, so many friendly people and great shops and restaurants.
We loved taking the public footpaths through the forest to get to the village. Also enjoyed exploring the footpaths up the hill from the house – what views!!
Simon is a great host, house was easy to find thanks to his directions. We hope to come back to Cartmel one day and wouldn’t hesitate to book Cartmel Hill again. Thanks Simon! – Gillian Pettersen – Prince George, British Columbia, Canada

“Wow!”
Booked this house for a large group who were going to run a trail race from Cartmel racecourse. Location was ideal,
The house is superb and more than lives up to the website description and photos. Rooms were plush and beds comfortable. Bathrooms spacious, and a kitchen to die for. No expense has been spared in either furniture or fittings. The lounge was comfy, we all fought over the swivel chair.
Didn’t use the summerhouse but it would be fab on a better weekend. The garden and views from it were fantastic.
We will definitely try to rebook – Ian Rayner, Leeds

“Beautiful house in a great setting”
Great place to stay for touring south Cumbria. The house is very large and plenty of bathrooms to use. Good parking for a number of cars.
I would certainly not hesitate to stay at this house again at any time of year as the views are fantastic from every lounge window – Kevin Lace

We have had a wonderful time. Cartmel Hill is a superb cottage with so much space and peacefulness.
We only walked a little way because Anders (our older dog) struggles now so it was enough to go to the waterfall for him.
There are a pair of ducks that frequent the water that passes down near all the glorious crocuses and they enjoyed me feeding them.
There is everything and more within the cottage to make ones stay exceptional.
Cartmel is amazing with so much to offer and when we come again with more time to venture further we will get the chance to explore more or your recommended haunts and walks.
Our dining experience at L’Enclume was fabulous…. amazing food and wine and service. Rogan & Co was also splendid, with so much to choose from on the menus I think you could go everyday for many weeks to taste it all !!!
We are saddened to have cut short our trip this time but have so much to look forward to later in the year – Yvette & Greg, Maxey, Cambridgeshire

“Wonderful House and Location”
We recently returned from Cartmel Hill having spent Christmas with family from the United States and Canada. The house is absolutely stunning, even better than we ever imagined.
The kitchen was very well equipped with every utensil you can think of. A pleasure to cook in.
The bedrooms all very spacious and comfortable.
Simon arranged various Christmas decorations and a tree which made the house so cosy and homely. We loved it.
It’s set in a perfect location for exploring the Lakes and even the Yorkshire Dales. Cartmel is a beautiful village especially so at Christmas with many fairy lights and trees. It was about a 20 minute walk from the house.
We ate at the Pig and Whistle and The Cavendish Arms both serving good food but our overall vote went to the Cavendish. We also had lunch in Grange over Sands at the Hazelmere.
Simon suggested some supermarkets that would deliver groceries and this worked out beautifully.
We all thoroughly enjoyed staying in Cartmel Hill and cannot recommend it enough. I only wish we could have stayed longer but hope to return – The Carruthers family, Sussex, USA & Canada
