Very comfortable and has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Perfect for a weeks peace and quiet. The owner lives next door and is available if you need anything and has a wealth of knowledge about where to visit/eat out. 1.5 mile walk into Cartmel and a 10 minute drive into Grange over Sands.
