Uplands Inn Cartmel, hotel in Cartmel

Overlooking the surrounding countryside, Uplands offers a bar and a restaurant.

Everything was just spot on. A warm friendly welcome, lovely well appointed room with a very comfortable bed and lovely view of the countryside and sea. Lovely grounds for a stroll or just to sit and take in the fantastic scenery. The owners were away at a funeral (our sincere condolences to you) but the ladies who were covering did a fantastic job. The food for our evening meal and breakfast was again excellent - fresh and absolutely delicious. All the staff were just so friendly and helpful. We really can't recommend the Uplands highly enough. Our first visit but hopefully not our last.

The Swan Hotel and Spa, hotel in Cartmel

Located within the scenic Lake District National Park, 12 km from Laurel & Hardy Museum, The Swan Hotel and Spa features a children's playground and views of the river.

The hotel itself and the surroundings are gorgeous. There are plenty of things to do nearby, and the surrounding area has heaps of lovely walks and hikes right on your doorstep - if you're feeling adventurous, be sure to check out Finsthwaite Tower. The choice of places to eat in the hotel, as well as room service was fantastic, and we were very impressed with the facilities on offer at the Swan - both the leisure suite and the Spa/Thermal Suite were excellent. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and we felt very welcome by everyone we came into contact with during our stay. The treatments in the Spa were incredible, and our only disappointment was that we hadn't pre-booked more of them! Our room was lovely, and we had a beautiful view across the river. The hotel itself was nice and quiet and despite booking during off-peak, it still felt very vibrant and had a great atmosphere to it. We had some car trouble the day before we were due to check out which meant we had to wait for a local garage to try and fix our car, the staff at the Swan couldn't have been more helpful - checking to make sure we were okay and even going as far as to reserve a room for us incase our car wasn't fixed in time for our check out, which was a weight lifted. Overall we couldn't fault the hotel and its fantastic facilities - it was our first time staying at the Swan, and we're still talking about how lovely it was! We are already planning our next trip back and have recommended the hotel to friends and family. Thanks so much to all the staff at the Swan, we had a memorable trip and look forward to staying with you all again soon.

    A compact and picturesque little village; a good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants - not cheap, but very welcoming. We especially enjoyed the live music and pizza night on Saturday at the Cheese Shop. Excellent base as a location for exploring the Lakes; as long as you have access to bikes or a car - there's not much in the way of public transport.

    Delightful, friendly, well-equipped and pretty village.

    Delightful, friendly, well-equipped and pretty village. Some local walks were recommended by locals and were gorgeous. The shops are perfect, great selection of stock and utterly charming. The pubs are really good, the Royal Oak serves huge portions of well cooked and flavourful, homemade food with a friendly welcome. Easy drive to seriously beautiful spots of Keswick, Coniston and Windermere. Went to Cumbria zoo which is lovely. Not to mention the next level spectacular that is L’Enclume in the village. Highly recommend.

    Caramel is a beautiful, small village with many pubs and restaurants and a few shops to browse. It’s peaceful and a lovely place to stop for a coffee or alcoholic beverage. There is a great cheese deli where you can choose from lots of different cheeses made locally and even try before you buy with a glass of wine or locally made ale. The famous mitchelin star restaurant L’Enclume is amazing and of course there is the famous sticky toffee pudding shop.

    Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village.

    Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village. It is lovely to stroll around. Quaint little antique and book shops, lovely little square with inns around it, the church, sheep and lambs in the fields. Lovely! Our expectations were high when we saw it but... There is almost no parking in the village except for 1hr or 2hr slots. Not much use for staying guests. The nearest overnight car parking was at the race course. £10 overnight charge. The card payment was not working. Coins only!!! We and others were searching for £10 in coins so that we could leave in the morning! Cartmel is largely shut from Sunday to Wednesday (slight exaggeration but you get the drift). Eateries close early or are not open at all. Cartmel has its own brewery. The brewery eatery only does Thurs, Fri, Sat! Thanks goodness for the Pig and Whistle which is only a short walk from the centre. If you want good food, good drink all at reasonable prices then it is a life saver. There is also free parking nearby which you can use overnight. To be clear I have no affiliation to it but it did serve us well. We ate and drank there other than on our first night.

    Cartmel is a small village served by several pubs, cafes and restaurants. There is a reasonable car park that is just on the edge of the village adjacent to the racecourse, leaving a short walk to the shops and pubs. The place to stay on a visit to L’Enclume.

    Fantastic bed and breakfast in the epicentre of lovely Cartmel. Communication with Rachel prior to arrival was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, both the public areas and the room in which we stayed. The room, recently re-decorated, is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Modern bathroom, super comfrotable bed, tea kettle/espresso machine - who needs more? Breakfast was stellar, be it the full English or the continental. We'll be delighted to come back and we thank Rachel for making our weekend in Cartmel special!

    great locations, stunning views. the hotel and restaurant has been done up really well and everything is fantastic. the menu isn’t huge but don’t be fooled - the food is perfection! you can walk to cartmel from the hotel as its not too far at all. Worth noting the hill is a little punchy on the way back up :-) lovely family - very happy stay and we’d love to come back

    We stayed for one night before going to our daughters graduation ceremony at Lancaster, half an hour away. We have stayed in Cartmel before, but not at the Priory, and we were very impressed with the hotel and the very helpful staff. Our rooms were spacious, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The large beds were very comfortable, and the hotel has decent WiFi.

    Staff - attentive, regularly checking service, but not over the top. Great views with beautiful sunset if you're lucky. Traditional restaurant menu (not classic pub food) chicken and steak meals we ordered were delicious, hot and plentiful. Good choice of hotel
