The place is damp with a smell, possible mold spoures and old cooking fat smells. Couldn't and didn't want to sit on the furniture for the damp feeling and smells. Never have I been in a place like that. Stayed one night only because we had nowhere else to go. Booked another place for the rest of the week. Asking for a refund. Told the owner and explained the issu. The property is still for letting. Not good for your health staying there. Putting review on now as I have had no reply or goodwill gesture for a refund of some kind. We stayed bank holiday August 2025. Shocking!

The bedroom is a generous size and the bed is big and comfortable. The interior is pretty basic - low level oven, very small screen TV, no USB port / socket and basic bathroom facilities (though the shower is lovely!). Extremely grateful to the housekeeper as the only person who worked out that the clock has to be set on the oven in order for the oven to operate. A pity we learned that only after having not been able to use it on our first evening. Even though Cartmel is only a half mile or so away, the road is not a safe thoroughfare for walkers. No-one's fault, just a fact! All in all, would certainly recommend.
