Woodland Cottage

A bright and colourful holiday cottage just outside of Cartmel village, Woodland Cottage has been completely renovated with sustainability in mind. The owners live on site for any help you might need, but the cottage itself is private and peaceful.

Sleeping 4 people, there is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, plus an open plan living room/diner/kitchen with an open fire. A handy utility room has drying facilities so you don’t need to worry about wet days. Outside is a large enclosed garden with lockable bike storage.

On the same site is a second eco-friendly cottage, Broughton Bank Cottage, and Broughton Bank Perry and Cider, which sells sustainably-made cider.
