Well appointed room but no window so impossible to get air unless the bathroom window and door was open, which would have made the bathroom cold. Very good and spacious bathroom and nice big towels

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, makes a huge impression from the start. A stunningly beautiful and elegant old hotel, very well kept and decorated but with the more intimate friendly appeal of a B&B. Cannot fault the whole experience.

The quality of breakfast was great, with a cooked option from the menu a great addition, especially for dietary restrictions.
Staff were super friendly and helpful.
The spa facilities included with the hotel were also very good, with the additional spa option an amazing addition for an extra special stay.

Cartmel village is very picturesque, quaint and welcoming.
Cartmel village is very picturesque, quaint and welcoming. We found the locals very laid-back and as you would expect very knowledgeable of the area and the attractions. At this time of year (September) parking was easy, plenty of room at the racecourse but just as easy to park in Cartmel square where their are plenty of places to eat. I would recommend Unsworth Yard just around the corner where their is a cheese shop, a brewery and somewhere to sit and enjoy a beer.

Cartmel is a beautiful village.
Cartmel is a beautiful village. We came for the Priory and the surrounding countryside. It's also quite a foodie centre, but if you want to try L'Enclume, don't expect just to turn up and get a table, its a Michelin restaurant and booked well in advance. The places we ate at included the Cavendish Arms (good Gourmet Pub food and excellent beer) and The Royal Oak, (good burgers).
There are several craft type shops. Also a shop specialising in the famous Cartmel sticky toffee pudding and local delicacies.
We stayed at the Priory Hotel, a good traditional hotel very much at the centre of the village.
Would absolutely recommend Cartmel - just be warned, if you visit during the racing season, parking might be a bit tricky.

I’ve said it for a while now that pubs in cartmel have let their standards drop significantly, they will always get bookings due to the races and events and can afford to be complacent. Most ( not pig & whistle ) charge to much and provide poor service.

Cartmel was great for our weekend away.
Cartmel was great for our weekend away. In itself, there is not a great deal to do unless the races are on, at which times I suggest it would be very busy, but it is a great staging post for multiple attractions within easy reach.
There are enough cafes, pubs and hotels in the village and all of those we patronised offered a warm welcome and good service. We stayed in the Cavendish Arms, ate at the Kings Arms and the Unsworth Courtyard and had a few cafe visits to the Mallard. I wholly recommend all three.

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.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Cartmel
We wanted to stay in Cartmel as we had a late reservation to eat there. The hotel satisfied the desire of being right in Cartmel and an easy walk from the restaurant. The staff we encountered were all warm and welcoming to us. The en-suite bathroom was updated and gleaming. The restaurant area of the hotel had a cozy, historic character.
The room was very spacious and with all the facilities you would expect. Comfy bed and bathroom had shower and bath. The staff went the extra mile, posting a book that I forgot behind. We had a lovely time. The hotel is far from Cartmel centre but we managed to get a taxi for 7£ on way.
