The charming cottage sits in the heart of the medieval village of Cartmel, close to its fabulous array of independent eateries and artisan shops. The property is a great base for exploring the Lake District National Park, with Lake Windermere just 6.5 miles away. Alternatively, spend a day at the coast at Grange-over-Sands (2.5 miles). At the end of the day, snuggle up by the wood burner or retreat to the summerhouse with a glass of wine and your favourite book.

The period property is decorated in calm, neutral tones and has been beautifully renovated to celebrate its original features. Enter the cottage and step straight into the welcoming lounge/diner, where you’ll find a sumptuous sofa in front of the TV/DVD, a perfect place to relax after a long walk. There’s also a dining table for enjoying romantic dinners for two and, on a winter’s evening, you can fire up the wood burner to create a cosy atmosphere. Completing the ground floor is a farmhouse-style kitchen, with everything needed for a self-catering break. The king-size bedroom is upstairs and has a sweet window seat with far-reaching views. Completing the accommodation is a stylish bathroom. Outside, soak up the sunshine in the enclosed patio garden, where you’ll find furniture for al fresco dining. There’s also a summerhouse with seating, meaning you can enjoy the garden all year round.

The picturesque village of Cartmel is a photographer’s paradise, with cute cottages adorned, a plethora of historic buildings – including a 12th-century priory – and a river running through its centre. The village is also known for its fantastic selection of eateries, from fine-dining restaurants to cosy cafes. The area is awash with popular walking routes, including to the summit of Hampsfell, which provides panoramic views of Morecambe Bay and the Lake District.
