Experience the allure of Cartmel at Wharton Cottage, a quaint 3-bedroom stone retreat in the heart of the Lake District. With two double beds and a king-size bed, it offers comfort and charm. Enjoy BathHouse amenities, nearby Michelin-starred dining, and doorstep access to Cartmel Racecourse. Fully equipped kitchen, welcome hamper, and hassle-free parking ensure a memorable stay amidst stunning natural beauty.

Cartmel is often held to be the quaintest of all Lakeland villages with its cobbled pavements, medieval arch, heritage buildings, delightful stream-side walks and 12th-century Priory; a captivating destination that entices visitors with its charm and natural beauty. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere and indulge in the array of charming shops, four traditional pubs and Simon Rogan's renowned Michelin starred restaurants: a treat for food enthusiasts. There’s a wine snug, microbrewery and cheese shop all gathered around a lovely courtyard space often featuring live music and pizzas on summer weekends. And with the famous national hunt racecourse just steps away, you can soak up the excitement of nine race days a year and enjoy fun-filled days out. There are many other attractions nearby: Levens Hall, Sizergh Castle and Holker Hall -each with a spectacular garden. There’s the Campbell Bluebird exhibition, the Lakeland Motor Museum and of course Lake Windermere (with breath-taking views and activities for outdoor enthusiasts); all are within 15 minutes’ drive.
