Woodland Cottage

A charming cottage at Greenbank, Cartmel, Cumbria. It is easily accessible from outside the Lake District with magnificent views over the surrounding Fells, and of the sea, 3 miles away. Shops and other facilities are available a mile away in Cartmel.

Refurbished, fully equipped and very comfortable, centrally heated accommodation with open fireplace and an extensive walled garden, an ideal location all the year round as the area benefits from the mild climate generated by the Gulf Stream.

There's a utility room with natural drying facilities along with a washer-drier. A cot and highchair are available on request. WiFi is available from February 2013.

Offering beautiful valley views, this cosy cottage is set on its own in farm land on a very quiet route in restful countryside. The cottage is 400 yards from the owners' home.

Walks to Cartmel village (1 mile) and Holker Hall (3 miles), well known for its gardens, are set in lakeland scenery. Walking further up the valley one finds grandstand views of the Lakeland Fells.
