About this property
This well-presented second-floor apartment rests in the unspoilt village of Cark-in-Cartmel, just south of the Lake District National Park. The cosy lounge will welcome your return after a day of touring the Lake District, complete with two sofas and a Smart TV to access all your favourite shows. Prepare a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, kitted-out with all the essentials appliances for a self-catering break, along with an elegant glass dining table where all can sit to discuss the next holiday adventure. As the evening draws to a close, retire to the double or single bedroom, both tastefully furnished and housing plenty of storage for all of your personal belongings.
Cark-in-Cartmel makes a lovely holiday base with two traditional pubs serving fine foods and local shops for picking up the essentials. There is also a railway line which provides easy access to a number of towns and villages across the Lake District so you can leave the car behind. Nearby is Holker Hall and Gardens, the home of Lord and Lady Cavendish who welcome visitors of all ages to one of the best-loved stately homes in Britain. Be sure to visit Grange-over-Sands, a tranquil Edwardian resort of the Cumbrian coast just on your doorstep or take advantage of the superb amenities within Bowness and Windermere in the Lake District.
The Lake District is also famed for its many local attractions, some of which include the mountains of Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Buttermere, ideal for those long scenic walks. Discover the romantic poet William Wordsworth’s amazing life by visiting Dove Cottage and Wordsworth Museum – a must-see attraction for any literary lover. Use 6 Cark House as your base for exploring all that this wonderful area has to offer.
The little village of Cark in Cartmel rests just a couple of miles from its more famous neighbour, Cartmel, in lovely Lakeland countryside. Cark is a stop on the Furness railway, and visitors to the village will enjoy a stroll to the local beach, or a quiet pint in one of the two friendly pubs. Holker Hall house and deer park are just a short walk from Cark. Cartmel is renowned for its racecourse, and the town is well served with a selection of shops, traditional pubs and a Michelin starred restaurant. There is so much to enjoy in the area, from country walks to boat trips on Windermere or a trip to the seaside resort of Grange over Sands. A great Lakeland base for your holiday.

The furnishing and equipment were up to a high standard and contributed to our enjoyment of the holiday. One exception: windows very draughty which, during a storm, even though closed, allowed a lowered blind to blow into a glass ornament and smash on the carpeted floor. The village was very pleasant. The local Engine Inn Restaurant can be highly recommended, too, along with its excellent Landlord Ales.

The apartment is perfect. Lovely location, within walking distance from the sea which can be seen from the dining room window. The apartment itself is very spacious, well furnished, warm and comfortable. Never heard a sound from the other residents, so very quiet slept like a log. Can't believe its not booked solid for the foreseeable future. The reason for this may be that the first entry coming up for this property, by Sykes, on the website states "This property is no longer available for booking". It has 14 photographs and states 3 guests. The furniture in the lounge area is different too. I looked at this entry at first and was put off but then by chance, a few weeks later, I found the one underneath which is an updated version. I would not hesitate to stay at 6 Cark House next time I travel up to Cark.

I kept brushing up dead flies the whole time we were there. Every time one walked into the kitchen and dining area the window cills and worktops were full of dead flies. Not very nice. It also needs to be made clear which parking space is for flat 6. It says parking in number 6 space when in fact it should be A6 which is around the corner. Not very good when arrival is after dark.
