    The Cottage

    A Luxury Lake District Welcome Awaits

    The Perfect Getaway
    in the English
    Lake District.

    Your hosts Kate and Adrian invite you to visit their two quaint Cartmel cottages: ‘Maggie Puddle Cottage’ and ‘The Nest’ are beautifully maintained to provide quality and characterful accommodation set over two floors in each, keeping many of the original features. Set beside the babbling beck, the 200-year-old stone-built Maggie Puddle cottage provides two double beds and plus a childrens' room with two bunk beds - and we welcome well-behaved dogs by prior arrangement. From the spacious bathroom to the well equipped kitchen - range cooker, dishwasher and washing machine - plus a downstairs showerroom, a spacious sitting room and six-seater dining table, we hope you will feel at home in The Cottage. The Nest is a secret hide-away - with its log burner and open-oak staircase leading to a luxurious double bedroom, The Nest has been delighting guests, many of whom return regularly to enjoy its comfortable lounge, well equipped kitchen and easy access to Cartmel.

    These perfectly appointed Cartmel cottages are great for short breaks or weeks away and superbly located for those wanting to explore the Lakes - see our things to do page for more ideas.

    It’s a dream place to be— the owners have filled it with beautiful extras that make a visit perfect. Super clean, the best position for the village /pub and excellent eateries.

    The Nest is a charming little bolt-hole perfect for couples. It is finished to a very high spec and has all the little extras you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The bed is particularly AMAZING! Situated perfectly for lazy days exploring the beautiful mediaeval village of Cartmel and one of its many pubs/restaurants or if you’re feeling a bit more energetic and fancy a hike the Lakes are only a short car journey away. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back!

    It had everything we needed, a fully equipped kitchen and a great sized living room. both showers were really hot and powerful! great having two bathrooms when there's 4 of you staying in one place. the bedrooms are a good size and the beds themselves are really comfortable and I slept well. A wonderful place to stay. No faults.

    We really enjoyed our stay in the Nest - it's a beautiful cozy space with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the welcome and other thoughtful touches made it feel extra special. We'll stay here again - thank you! We also ate at Rogan & co who took the trouble to call us beforehand. One of us is vegetarian so it was great that they wanted to check for any specific requirements before we arrived.

    The family spent a fabulous weekend away in this beautifully cosy cottage. Adrian and Kate's instructions for finding the cottage were spot on and they were very quick to reply to messages when we had any questions. Arriving late at night we stepped into a gorgeous, spacious cottage full of quirky original features as well as two clean, modern bathrooms and a well appointed kitchen, and immediately felt at home. Lovely little touches like a welcome basket of goodies and clean towels and bathrobes made us all feel very welcome. It's a great space to just hang out, cook a meal, play boardgames and socialise. Warm, cosy and relaxed. A little gem.
