    friendly staff
    delicious breakfast
    clean rooms
    thin pillows

    Had an awesome time with friends here! We explored Cartmel Racecourse and the beautiful surroundings. The staff were super friendly, and the breakfast was a highlight—lots of options. The rooms were clean and comfy, and parking was a breeze. Perfect location for restaurants too. Don't miss out on this cozy spot for your getaway!

    One downside was the thin pillows in our room, which didn't provide the best comfort for sleeping.

    cosy room
    magical views
    slow wifi

    Cosy room with modern styling! Quiet spot, loved the magical views after a short climb—perfect for a picnic! Nice to find a room designed with allergies in mind. Really felt at home here!

    The WiFi was about as fast as a tortoise on a Sunday stroll. more hanger space would’ve been fab! Actual wardrobe or just a coat hook?

    cozy lounge
    varied breakfast
    cramped bathroom

    Outstanding breakfast options, with a fantastic Full English on the menu. The cottage suite outside the main house offers ample space and a cozy lounge with great natural light, perfect for unwinding after a day on the trails.

    The bathroom in room 8 has a sizable step that’s tricky to spot, making middle-of-the-night trips to the loo a bit of a challenge. In other rooms, the cramped dimensions can be an issue, especially for couples with wet clothing after a day of hiking. the bathroom ventilation feels inadequate, leading to a steamy atmosphere post-shower.

    elegant decor
    cozy atmosphere
    accessible lounge
    soft mattress
    bed comfort

    The Westbourne is elegantly decorated with a cozy feel, and the communal lounge provided a welcoming place to relax. I appreciated the accessibility of common areas, making it easy for me to move around comfortably during my stay.

    A firmer mattress would enhance comfort for seniors.

    fresh breakfast
    comfortable stay
    wifi issue
    location inconvenience
    parking limitation

    The breakfast was freshly cooked, featuring delicious dishes that catered to various dietary needs. The room was immaculate and the decor reflected a charming character. the wifi still seemed to be an issue for some guests despite improvements. the location, while peaceful, was a bit of a walk from the town centre, which could be a concern for some. the parking was limited at busy times, impacting guest convenience.

    The room was super cosy and had everything we needed, including a comfy bed for a great night's sleep. The bathroom was compact but the shower was nice with a strong flow. Daily freshening up of the room was a nice touch. Everything felt clean and welcoming, perfect for a short getaway.

    clean cottage
    friendly owners
    varied breakfast
    busy parking
    small shower

    I had a pleasant experience staying in a cottage suite just outside the main building. It was clean with good furnishings. After hiking all day, it was nice to relax in the lounge area. Breakfast was served well with various options. The owners were welcoming and helpful. This family from Cambridge found it a great place to unwind.

    Parking was sometimes busy, and the shower felt a bit small.

    Exceptional breakfast and friendly staff

    I had a wonderful stay in a Small Double Room that was cozy and clean. The breakfast was a highlight with a fantastic selection, including perfectly cooked items and fresh fruits. The staff went above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere, making my experience truly enjoyable. One minor issue was the shower, which felt a bit compact, but overall it did not detract from my experience.
