Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Amber Cottage to be immaculate and well-presented. There were a few mentions of dust and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
The cottage's location is frequently commended for its proximity to local pubs, shops, and scenic walks. Its position is ideal for both local exploration and wider adventures in the Lake District, contributing to its high rating.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the cosy living area and comfortable king-size bed. A suggestion for additional footstools and comments on overly warm duvets during hot weather slightly affect the score.
The cottage is celebrated for being well-equipped, with a special mention of the kitchen. However, some guests noted issues with parking, shower power, and a desire for updated decor and a more powerful vacuum cleaner.
While many reviews express appreciation for the cottage's amenities and the owners' attention to detail, there is no specific mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
About this property
A cosy mid-terrace cottage located in the quaint village of Cark in Cartmel, benefiting from a secluded garden and from being just two miles from the priory village of Cartmel and eight miles from Lake Windermere. At this Cark in Cartmel cottage there is a king-size double bedroom and a twin room. This welcoming cottage has a light and airy open plan living area with patio doors leading out to the pretty garden. The small village of Cark in Cartmel has a general store and a pub, both just a short walk from the cottage. There are numerous walks from the village, including a lovely river path to Holker Hall and Gardens, which also has a lovely tea room serving excellent breakfasts and lunches. The ancient priory village of Cartmel is nearby and has a host of excellent restaurants and pubs, plus specialist shops including the Cartmel Village Shop, home of the sticky toffee pudding. Within 45 minutes' drive are the pretty Lakeland villages of Coniston, Hawkshead and Grasmere and Lakeside, the tip of Lake Windermere, is just eight miles away and is home to the Aquarium of the Lakes and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway. A warm and welcoming Cark in Cartmel cottage, to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
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.
