Caton Lane House is a detached cottage resting in the enchanting village of Cark in Cartmel, Cumbria. This beautifully presented cottage is set over three floors, providing the perfect stay for families, friends or couples looking to explore this part of Cumbria. Step through the door into Caton Lane House and be immediately transported into a world of period features, slate beams, and flagged floors. The high spec, contemporary, fitted kitchen with range cooker, double oven, 5-ring hob, fridge, freezer, and wine cooler is ideal for preparing a sumptuous feast to be enjoyed in the dining room. After dinner, retire to the lounge with two leather sofas to relax and wind down in the comfort of your own home, or light the woodburning stove in the inviting snug. Venture upstairs to find the super-king-size bedroom, a king-size and double on this level, accompanied by a bathroom with roll-top bath and shower over, so you can best decide how to freshen up for the day. Continue to the second-floor, home to a spacious twin bedroom with character low beams and an en-suite cloakroom. The village has a shop and a pub, both just a short walk from this Cark in Cartmel cottage, and the splendid Holker Hall and Gardens are also within walking distance. For a truly unique experience, why not visit the Cartmel Racecourse, and feel the thrill of a day at the track. Of course, don’t forget to explore the nearby ancient ruins, castles, and stately homes, whilst the Lake District provides access to several bustling towns such as Kendal, Bowness and Ambleside, all filled with character and charm. Escape to Caton Lane House for a splendid holiday to Cumbria.
Cark in Cartmel is a small Lakeland village just two miles from Cartmel, one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District. Cark is well served by the Furness line railway, and features pretty streamside strolls, lovely walks to the local coastline overlooking Morecambe Bay, two fine traditional old pubs and a scattering of small shops. It is a very short stroll from here to Holker Hall, the stately home of Lord Cavendish, whose house, gardens and deer park are open to the public and also now home to a licensed brasserie The Ilex. Take advantage of excellent walking opportunities amidst beautiful unspoilt countryside or visit The National Hunt Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition and the Lakeland Motor Museum, all close by. Nearby Cartmel offers quaint cobbled streets littered with antique shops, charming gift shops, welcoming traditional pubs serving real ales, and the nationally acclaimed Michelin Star awarded L'Enclume restaurant. The quiet seaside retreat of Grange-over-Sands, with its Edwardian buildings, mountain backdrop, fabulous sea views, promenade and two golf courses is four miles away. Windermere, with its panoramic views over England's longest lake, is within a fifteen minute drive. A superb holiday destination at any time of year.

Our party was made up of 6 adults and 2 children who loved being able to sleep in the attic room! The house was well-equipped and very clean. Arrival was smooth and the introductory booklet very informative. Cark itself is a small village but has everything you need with a shop, pub and playpark. We found it to be an excellent base to explore the nearby area. Parking at the house is an issue, but we knew about this beforehand and were able to easily find parking around the village. Overall, a lovely house and we had a fab weekend. Iâm sure we will be back!

House is lovely and spacious with very comfortable beds, high quality linens, big soft fluffy towels and well appointed bathrooms. Perfect for our party of 6 ladies to enjoy Cartmel races (shuttle bus 4minutes walk). Impressive kitchen facilities with top quality cookware, crockery, glassware etc. Wine fridge was handy. Good coffee machine too! Everything provided for a perfect stay. Plus the bonus of The Engine pub with its decent food practically next door!
