3 Bed in Cark In Cartmel (oc-gl090)

Nestled in the heart of the charming village of Cark, Cark Cottage offers an inviting blend of character, comfort, and riverside tranquillity. With the gentle River Eea running through the centre of the village, two welcoming pubs, a nearby artisan bakery, and a train station all within easy reach, this peaceful setting places you just under two miles from Cartmel and only 15 minutes from the southern tip of Lake Windermere.


Stepping into the cottage through the beautifully crafted kitchen entrance, you are welcomed into a bright, dual‑aspect space finished to an exceptional standard. This stylish, fully equipped kitchen—complete with quality appliances and a wine chiller—enjoys lovely views across the river and village, setting the tone for the thoughtful design found throughout the home.


From the kitchen, the spacious hallway leads to two ground‑floor bedrooms: one super‑king (zip‑and‑link for flexible sleeping arrangements) and one double. Both rooms overlook the pretty riverside with its graceful weeping willow, and one has direct outdoor access. A modern bathroom with shower completes this floor.


Upstairs, the first‑floor living space embraces the cottage’s upside‑down layout. The generous open‑plan lounge and dining area features exposed beams, original stonework, and a wood burner—perfect for cosy evenings after exploring the Lakes. A separate mezzanine level offers a small double sofa bed for up to two additional guests (best suited to children). Also on this floor is the spacious master bedroom with its own en‑suite bathroom.


Outside, an enclosed rear area provides a peaceful spot for alfresco dining or simply relaxing to birdsong.


Cark Cottage is perfectly suited to families or friends looking to explore both the Lake District National Park and the nearby coastline. Holker Hall, with its magnificent gardens, café, and year‑round events, is within walking distance, while Cartmel’s historic Priory, racecourse, Michelin‑starred dining, and artisan shops are just moments away.


A short drive brings you to Newby Bridge, where you can enjoy Windermere lake cruises, heritage steam trains, and access to Grizedale Forest’s walking and cycling trails.


Cark Cottage offers an ideal base for discovering this beautiful region in every season.
