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.

It is very comfortable and accessible, situated next to the sound of running water in a tranquil village. The accommodation is really thoughtful, with everything you could wish for on hand. Highly recommended.

Had a really nice stay. Only extra thing that should have been included in the listing was that it's only a few hundred metres from the train station - we used the train a number of times.
