The Cavendish Arms is a 450 year old coaching inn set in the picturesque village of Cartmel. Located on the outskirts of the English Lake District, Morecambe Bay is just 11 minutes’ drive away.
Boasting free W-Fi, there is also a restaurant that serves either a continental breakfast or a cooked breakfast in the mornings. It is served within the cosy dining room that is complete with a burning log fire. There is also a dinner menu available.
The quaint, low beamed rooms at The Cavendish Arms each feature an en suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a hairdryer.
In the evening, guests can relax and unwind with a drink at the bar after exploring one of the many surrounding walking routes Cartmel has to offer.
From the inn, Cartmel Racecourse is a 2-minute walk away. Lake Windermere is also a 15-minute car journey away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
