Pros: Complete gem, this place, from start to finish. Staff are fantastic, the location is superb and it's a 5 star place masquerading as something else. We were in the area for L'Enclume but take an extra night to eat at the restaurant- the cheese and crab souffle is divine.

Cozy, friendly stay in the heart of cartmel.

Pros: Very friendly staff with great local recommendations. Perfect spot to visit Cartmel with great walks on the doorstep. Cozy hotel that felt like home.

Claire 10/10

A perfect countryside escape with food worth writing home about

Pros: Stayed for a romantic weekend and couldn’t fault a thing. The room was spotless and full of character, the staff were warm and attentive, and the location—right by the Cartmel racecourse—made it feel peaceful and exclusive. Sunday lunch was the real standout: perfectly pink beef for me, crisp-skinned rolled porchetta for him, and champagne that felt like a reward for surviving the week. A luxurious stay that felt personal, quiet, and just indulgent enough. Already planning our return.

Cons: Having to leave

Beautiful hotel in peaceful surroundings.

Pros: Beautiful location on the edge of the racecourse. Views were lovely too. It is a five minute walk into Cartmel village from the hotel which is quaint with a fantastic local shop for gifts and snacks, not to mention the sticky toffee pudding. Four friendly local pubs and local people were very friendly. The Hotel is beautifully/tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The lounge areas were very comfortable and the gardens were stunning to sit and relax in. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a high quality mattress and bedding. I could not fault anything about this hotel at all and would highly recommend.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting.

Pros: Beautiful hotel and setting too. A pleasant walk into Cartmel village. Staff couldn't do enough for us - very impressive.

Cons: Only tiny niggles - soft closing loo seat kept closing at inconvenient moments and husband cracked his head off oddly positioned overhead towel rail... ('Bridal Suite') Some ordinary toast could be offered at breakfast as toasted sodabread is a bit tricky for elderly teeth ! Otherwise a 10.
