The house has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and sleeps 8 people. For an extra nightly charge a 5th bedroom can be used bringing the total number of guests to 10.
The large traditional stone-built 18th barn conversion has refurbished and decorated to a very high standard using heritage Farrow & Ball co-ordinating shades.
Cartmel Hill offers a very high standard of accommodation in a peaceful and beautiful location with spectacular views down the Cartmel Valley, across Morecambe Bay and out to sea.
Full central heating and hot water are included in the price.
The quiet location is surrounded by meadows.
SITTING ROOM
The house has a large sitting room with seating for 8 people, a roaring log fire, oak beams and a large Samsung flat screen LCD ‘Smart TV’.
This lovely light & airy room has 5 windows and is located on the 1st floor to make the most of the spectacular views on all sides of the sitting room.
THE KITCHEN
The shaker style kitchen was hand made by a local craftsman with high quality granite worktops and light oak cabinets.
The large range cooker had 4 gas burners, a wok burner/flat plate and 2 ovens.
There are 2 fridges, a large freezer, large microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier.
The kitchen also has a table and 4 chairs and lots of oak beams.
The main dining room is located next to the kitchen through double doors and has a large wood table, chairs for 8 people, a cast iron log fire & oak beams.
BEDROOMS
The house has 4 double bedrooms with the option to add a 5th bedroom for £20 per night (must be booked for the entire stay).
The 2 large upstairs bedrooms have doors opening onto the large veranda. Both bedrooms have king-sized beds, wardrobes, dressing tables, bedside tables and lots of oak beams.
The largest bedroom is huge with 2 French doors opening onto the sunny veranda and a large en-suite bath and shower room. This bathroom can also be accessed from the corridor for the other upstairs bedroom, ‘Jack & Jill’ style.
The 2nd bedroom is adjacent to a ‘cloakroom’ with a sink and toilet.
At the end of the corridor is 2nd flight of stairs leading downstairs to the ground floor.
The ground floor has 2 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that both overlook the garden and woods.
Again, 1 of the bedrooms on the ground floor is huge and has a king sized bed and an en-suite bath and shower room.
The 2nd bedroom on this floor has a super king sized bed that can be also be made into 2 single beds (please let us know at the time of booking if this is your requirement).
This bedroom has a shower room and toilet adjacent to it.
Both bedrooms have large wardrobes, dressing tables, bedside tables and lots of oak beams.
THE REST OF THE HOUSE
The ‘games room’ has a large flat screen TV, an electric organ and furniture to chill and relax away from the rest of the group.
The 5th bedroom can be rented at an extra cost of £30 per night (this bedroom is locked and not used when not rented separately).
This bedroom has a double bed.
Please note that the dining room and sitting room seat 8 people although there is 2nd dining table in the kitchen that seats 4 people.
The 5th bedroom is a supplementary bedroom for those that want to use it.
GARDENS AND PARKING
Cartmel Hill has 2 large garden areas.
To the rear is a large lawned area that can also be accessed from the bedrooms, veranda and sitting room.
This large garden is totally enclosed and overlooks fields and woods with spectacular views south across the Cartmel Valley, across the bay and out to sea. The garden has a BBQ, a large table and chairs and is a very peaceful and relaxing area to sit and relax or dine al fresco.
A large summer house has recently been added to the garden, complete with cushioned chairs, a large wine cooler/fridge, heating, lighting and electric.

We were a 3 generation family of 6 adults, 4 children and Missy the cavapoochon. Cartmel Hill was the perfect setting for a fabulous Easter weekend. The house was perfect, and had everything we needed to make meals and snacks. The house has stunning views across the bay to Grange. Sheep and lambs in the adjacent fields. Our cars dud not move all weekend. We were able to walk into Cartmel, which is a delight. Good food, music and beer. Communication with Simon at Cumbria Cottages was terrific. Thanks Simon
The property was large, clean, and furnished with everything I could need.
Parking area is large, clean, and right outside the door to the property.
Kitchen was kitted with quality equipment (pans, knives, utensils, etc)
Bedrooms were fully equipped with everything you would expect.
The rear of the property has excellent with good quality summer house.
The property is very remote, and would recommend to drive to the property in daylight (at least for the first time) if you're not comfortable with narrow country roads.
Saw deer outside of the property, and the views were amazing.
Highly recommended.
Stunning property just a short walk from the beautiful village of Cartmel. House was immaculate and very comfortable for our party of eight plus dog. Would definitely stay again.
Stunning location. Fantastic property. Great communication with owner. Very helpful when I struggled initially booking the property.

Beautiful house in a great setting
Great place to stay for touring south Cumbria . The house is very large and plenty of bathrooms to use. Good parking for a number of cars . I would certainly not hesitate to stay at this house again at any time of year as the views are fantastic from every lounge window.
This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy Cartmel.
The instructions and tips about pubs, walks, etc, was a great help.
The house was clean and well equipped.
The summer house was perfect!!
We had x2 dogs, they loved garden and all the walks in the surrounding area.
We will definitely be back!!!
Wonderful property with top class furnishings. This spacious property is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The gardens are superb with spectacular views. The heated summer house (with fridge!) makes for very pleasant evenings when the weather is cooler or even wet. A very pleasant 20 minute walk into Cartmel.
Smooth although I thought the early payment demands were a bit much. Garden views were lovely unfortunately we had poor weather,property well equipped and warm.

Perfect place for a relaxing week away.
From the moment you get to the bottom of the drive you’re struck by how beautiful the house and location is. The views are amazing.
The house itself is querky. Two Bedrooms downstairs along with a playroom and cloak room. Living room and two more bedrooms upstairs which all have great views.
Bathrooms are all lovely.
Amazing kitchen if you like cooking which is well equipped. It’s about 30 minute walk to Carmel so we tended to stay in in the evening...the dining room is an amazing setting.
Great base to explore The Lakes.

Cartmel Hill
The property is in a beautiful location and overall is a good sized family house . It is well stocked with essential equipment . Surface Cleanliness was ok but could def do with deep clean everywhere . The shower door is missing in the ground floor bathroom which means water goes everywhere . The seal on one fridge is faulty and the freezer is iced up and so impossible to use. The biggest problem we had was that the rear garden fence was broken down . As we had two dogs with us and the adjoining field is full of lambs and sheep this meant that the dogs had to be tied on rope in the garden the whole time which was a real nuisance. This is an expensive property and as such needs some tidying up to reflect that . It would have been nice to know that the Cartmel races were on whilst we were there, although we had village 2 passes ( but we had three cars ) it was extremely busy with cars and people. Despite all we had a lovely week away in the Lakes.
Everything we were hoping for and more!
Great property in a beautiful, peaceful location.
Many thanks to Simon who sorted out a minor problem quickly.
We had a great time.
Thank you.
Our party of 10 had a fabulous time together in the house. It’s clean and well equipped with everything you could need for a great stay. Cartmel was approx 25min walk away and a lovely little village to visit.
All in all, I would recommend staying at Cartmel Hill House and hope to return at some point.
What can I say, just returned from an unbelievable weekend, all that spoilt it was the weather but guess you expect that in January, the house blew us away, with its unbelievable views to feeling right at home even though we was on a break, house is well equipped with everything you can think of, couldn't fault it.
Thank you x
We had an amazing weekend. The cottage is so cozy,clean and spacious. Everyone had an amazing night sleep. The views are beautiful. The cottage its self is tooked away in the mills outside of cartmel toen, a real getaway but with luxury. Amazing showers/bathrooms. A large kitchen with every thing you might need. Wifi and entertainment. Will definitely be going again. Thankyou simon for an amzing stay xoxoxo
This holiday home had everything and more and we settled in immediately. Comfortable, stylish, large bedrooms, clean, stunning views and all the amenities you could wish for! I can highly recommend this house.
Our little getaway to Lake District would not have been as a fantastic experience as it was without the stay at Cartmel Hill. It is a perfect place to run away from the city as it is located in the stunning countryside. The house is kept in ideal tidiness, and it’s is visible that things are well looked after. The communication with the host was very welcoming and easy, as well as the check-in process. Everything was very well thought through, and we truly enjoyed our stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt like being home, and that’s all you could ever want after a long hike. We would love to return.
Fantastic New Year stay at Cartmel Hill. Everything about this cottage is great. Very comfortable immaculately clean. Beautiful views well equipped. Excellent communication with Simon. We will be back. The Johnson/Fryer family.
Cartmel Hill is a lovely house in a good location with a great view of the valley and estuary. The house was clean and warm and just as shown in the photographs with plenty of space, a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The summerhouse is a great feature, allowing us to benefit from sitting outdoors at a time of year when it may not otherwise have been so appealing. Simon provided all the information that we could need to make the most of our stay and we are already looking forward to another holiday at the house, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.
A real home from home.
You could not wish for anything else. We have had the pleasure of staying in lots of self catering cottages over the years and this one is top of our league table.
Everything you need to leave the real world behind switch off your phone and TV and simply enjoy the surroundings.
The cottage is spotless fantastically equipped and in an amazing location.
Top tip if you haven't got a dog of your own borrow someone else's the walks from the door are fabulous.
We only wish we could have stayed longer. Our weather was fantastic which of course added further to our enjoyment. We plan to return as soon as work commitments will allow.
Stay here you won't regret it.
