"A lovely, comfortable cottage in a quiet location."
All the amenities are as listed on the website. Mary and Bertie are very welcoming and are close by if any issues arise. The cottage is located about a 15/20 minutes walk into Cartmel where there are plenty of opportunities for a meal and drink. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crag End Cottage and would not hesitate to stay again if we were holidaying in the area.

"Cartmel is a hidden gem, not very busy and lovely location."
Mary's cottage was very lovely. We stayed there for 5 nights. She has put a lot of effort to provide everything we need incl milk for the first day. One of the cleanest cottages we stayed ever. No garden space but right next to the public footpath to walks. Village at walking distance. We have seen several Roe dears closer to the cottage. We would love to come back next year.

Spotlessly clean and very comfortable . Owner is lovely . Would highly recommend .

"The perfect balance of luxury and homeliness; this cottage was a quiet and comfortable retreat."
To sit outside on the lovely warm evenings with a glass of something nice, listening to the birds, was perfect. Mary went above and beyond to enhance our stay and she has clearly put so much thought into Crag End Cottage. We've already recommended this cottage to friends who intend to visit the area. 10/10 on all counts! Lynne & Mark Redley and Lilly the whippet

"We really enjoyed our stay at Crag End Cottage."
It was clean and very comfortable, especially the sofa! The perfect location for us with our dog, lots of beautiful walks all around. The local pubs and shops are only a 20 minute walk away, again you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful walk. The owner Mary is lovely and had thought of all the little things that you might need or want. It was great to meet her and her dog Bertie! We recommend this property and we will book again next year.

"We had a lovely week in this cottage, it was a pleasure to meet Mary and Bertie."
Mary had been so helpful prior to arriving and whilst staying in her cottage. It’s a lovely little cottage with everything you could possibly need. I didn’t use it but I loved the idea of a slow cooker, a great addition. My husband has limited mobility so found the sofa too low but we managed with lots of cushions and me hauling him to his feet!! Apart from that the cottage is really comfortable though it was strange going downstairs to bed! The shower was superb, and easy to use too. A good folder of instructions to aid our stay along with plenty of books, dvds and games so everyone is catered for. To be able to just step out of the door and have some lovely dog walks was brilliant, the surroundings are wonderful, I really enjoyed exploring with Bobby, our JRT. All in all we had a wonderful week staying in this lovely cottage and exploring a fantastic area. Well worth a revisit sometime.
-
"Wonderful cottage, one of the best we've stayed in!"
Had everything we needed, well equipped and thought out. Bed was very comfortable, as was the homely cottage in general. Mary the owner was friendly and helpful and we appreciated the welcome pack, and biscuits for our pooch! There's not much of a garden but the green space directly out the back of the cottage where the footpath goes was really useful for stretching all our legs. Cartmel is a lovely spot, nice shops and pubs, and its a beautiful peaceful area. Not far from Windermere and Arnside. Would definitely love to stay again and explore more!
-
"Lovely cosy cottage which is perfect to return home to after a long day of walking around the lakes."
Mary was really accomodating and we agreed with her recommendations for Rogan & Co. and the Cavendish Arms. We had a wonderful week there with our Labrador and would highly recommend the property.

"So pleased that our second visit to Crag End Cottage was as amazing as the first."
Everything in the cottage is immaculate, it has everything you need and more. We had a fantastic, relaxing break. Really pleased we timed our visit so we were there for ‘Christmas in Cartmel’ which was a lovely start to the festive season! So lovely to see Mary and Bertie again!

"Our stay was our 2nd visit and you never let us down Mary, on the evening we arrived you had turned on the lights the heating and pulled the curtains and what a delight that' was to see as we pulled up as the rain was horrendous."
Our stay was perfect even with the rain the views was amazing and out the back of cottage it feels like your own back garden with lots of walks nearby , thank you Mary we do really love our chats with you and we will be back next year for certain
-
"Probably the best cottage we have stayed in."
Immaculately clean and great facilities with a lovely comfy bed, nice walk in shower and well stocked kitchen. Excellent location that is handy for the local village with some good shops and eateries. The cottage felt really secluded, quiet and peaceful with walks literally on the doorstep. The owner Mary was a great host and met us on arrival and also checked with us before we left. We appreciated the welcome treats! Overall an exceptional property and we would not hesitate to recommend Crag End Cottage to others and hope to return in the future.

"Wow what an absolutely charming beautiful little cottage."
We had the most amazing stay here for a long weekend away in the lakes. Mary was absolutely wonderful and made sure the cottage was perfect for our stay. I have never stayed anywhere as immaculately clean and presented as crag end cottage was. Our dog Ollie also absolutely loved it and Mary had even provided a doggy treat tin for him too! Just wonderful and another big thanks to Mary for this absolute gem of a cottage. We will definitely be back.

"A beautiful little cottage in a great location."
Cottage was spotlessly clean, really comfortable with great facilities. We had a really lovely week here. A great place to return home to at the end of each day walking and exploring the stunningly beautiful and peaceful lake district. Cartmel Village is a short walk away and also has everything. Nice pubs, restaurants wine bar, village shop and race course. We would highly recommend a visit to Cartmel with a asway at Crag End Cottage

"Mary the owner goes above & beyond to provide a lovely stay."
It is immaculately clean, the kitchen has everything you need, the view is spectacular. The cottage has a wonderful welcomeing & friendly feel & there were one or two gin & tonics drank sat at the front enjoying the view! Cartmel village & the lakes are close by & a visit to the magnificent priory church is a must.
-

"Such a lovely private little cottage, very, clean,comfortable and well equipped."

"We had an amazing relaxing stay at Crag End Cottage!"
The cottage is immaculately presented and Mary (and Bertie the dog!) go above and beyond to ensure that every need is met. The cottage was spotless, modern and well equipped with a lovely thoughtful welcome hamper to greet us on arrival. Our dog loved being able to run along the fells behind the cottage whilst we enjoyed the outstanding views that the area has to offer. Highly recommend a walk into Cartmel where you can pick up some of the infamous Sticky Toffee Pudding!! We loved how the entire town was dog friendly! Every shop/cafe and pub happily welcomed your four legged friend! We have recommended Crag End Cottage to all of our friends and family and we will definitely be back again soon!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crag End Cottage."
The cottage had everything we needed and more. We loved the rural setting and it wasn't too far to walk or drive into the village. The cottage decor was modern but with a cottage charm. The lovely owner was nearby if we ever needed anything and was happy to give recommendations for restaurants and places to go which was much appreciated. We also enjoyed the little extras such as tea and biscuits which was so welcoming and great to arrive to after a long drive. We would have no hesitation in booking this lovely cottage again and have also recommended to family.
-
"Crag End cottage is an exceptional place for getaway holiday."
The cottage is beautiful inside with no expense spared to make it a home from home. The cottage is so comfortable and the scenery is outstanding. We had such a relaxing break with our dog, walking every day in the most beautiful surroundings. And also the nicest, friendliest owner Mary who put a lovely welcoming pack and biscuits for Belle, our shih Tzu. My wife, Belle and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here 100%. Thank you Mary

"This was a perfect location for dog walks and the cottage had everything we needed."
We can’t wait to return.

"Absolutely amazing little cottage."
We have stayed in one of Mary’s cottages before and this one has the same 5star quality. Warm, welcoming and just perfect. We will definitely be back.
-
"This was our second visit to the cottage and there’s a reason we came back!"
It’s a perfect hideaway for a visit to the Lakes. We visited with our German Shepherd for a week. You can’t fault the facilities - comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen, modern bathroom with a fantastic shower, great heating system. The kitchen in particular has everything you need - even a slow cooker and a recipe book! Perfect to get a joint of meat from a local butcher and leave it stewing all day while you go out for a walk. We recommend the sticky toffee puddings from the shop in Cartmel (they are every bit as good as you think!). Mary is very welcoming and made sure every part of our stay was perfect. I can’t wait to book again.
-
"On the edge of Cartmel village tucked away, its the ideal property for a relaxing holiday in the lakes."
Modern, clean and tidy, with a well equipped kitchen, it has everything you need. Lovely walks nearby for the dog. Owner Mary was really nice and happy to help with anything. Already booked again for 2023.
-
"Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location, and a lovely warm welcome from the wonderful owner who gave us lots of tips of where to go/what to visit etc."
We had a perfect week; lots of dog walks on the doorstep, a choice of great pubs and restaurants and gorgeous scenery. We’ve stayed in lots of cottages and this is one of our favourites. We definitely want to return.
-
"Crag End cottage is a great cottage and one not to be missed."
Owner Mary is really friendly and very helpful. Our four night stay was just what we needed and we will be back too. The weather was not on our side but we expected that from this part of the country. Crag End was so lovely and made up for any wet weather. Thank you Mary from Sheelagh, Shane and Barney.x

"Crag End Cottage is the most peaceful accommodation we have ever stayed in."
The countryside is absolutely beautiful. As for the cottage….10 out of 10 for Mary. It is spotlessly clean and Mary has thought of absolutely everything to make your stay like home from home and all the little decor touches just add to this. The whole cottage is decorated very tastefully. There is everything you need in the kitchen, the lounge is very cozy and the bathroom provides constant hot water when needed. The bedroom is cozy too with a comfortable king size bed. Our only moan (and it is a very small one) was lack of storage for clothes in the bedroom. There is nowhere to hang anything should you need to and we did live out of our suitcase the whole week. Mary mentioned lack of storage to us so she is aware of this. We enjoyed our stay and so did Sid our cockapoo who (as we live in a bungalow) thought the stairs was a game!! Mary was on hand should you need her and was very knowledgeable on places to visit and an extremely helpful and friendly host. Would we recommend Crag End Cottage, ABSOLUTELY. Thank you Mary.

"Tranquil and peaceful yet a short walk from the charms of Cartmel"
-
"The cottage was well equipped with good quality items and everything you could possibly need on holiday."
Lots of personal touches from the owner enhanced our stay. As a dog friendly cottage for us it would have been an advantage to have had the little courtyard enclosed by adding a gate.
-
"Get PAT test done when property not vacated"
-
"Wonderful stay, Mary was so kind and her scones are delicious!"
The cottage was immaculate and the downstairs bedroom was lovely & cool on the hottest day on record! The race course is a lovely 10min walk and a great day out. Cartmel Village is one of the prettiest in the Lakes, we will definitely be back!!
-
"Crag End Cottage is absolutely beautiful."
The cleanliness and attention to detail is second to none. Mary, the owner popped by a couple of times to check we were ok and to see if we were happy with everything. It was lovely to chat about the local area and Mary suggested a few places of interest. We can honestly say it’s absolutely one of our favourite UK holidays ever. Thank you.

It is very well thought out and equipped. Very warm, comfortable, stylish and also practical. I cannot think of anything else that would have been useful. It feels like the owner, Mary really wants you to have a lovely experIence, above providing the basics of a rental property. We received helpful information about the area prior to our visit.

"Our stay at Crag End Cottage was fabulous."
The cottage was furnished to a high standard and was very comfortable. Mary had thought of everything and there was nothing lacking in the cottage. There was also a nice touch of a thoughtful welcome gift pack and a call from Mary to make sure we had everything we needed. The location was very quiet and set in beautiful countryside but within easy reach of the village centre. I would recommend staying at Crag End Cottage, you wont be disappointed.

We couldn't think of anything. We had a great stay.

"Absolutely wonderful little cottage with an equally wonderful owner (Mary)."
Welcomed on arrival and had a very tasty lemon drizzle cake and bottle of prosecco along with a pint of milk. Cottage is ideally located and cartmel an easy walk away. The cottage has the fell just behind it which is perfect for letting the dog out for a quick run about. Will definitely be returning. Thanks for such a wonderful stay Regards Michael/Victoria & Amber

"What can I say."
We loved it. Everything we wanted in the cottage. A lovely cake and Prosecco left by Mary the owner who was so helpful and caring. Our dog loved the fact that the fell was right behind the cottage.

Mary the owner was both friendly and helpful, so much so we’ve booked it again next year.
-
"Mary the cottage owner was exceptionally helpful and went out of her way to ensure that we were able to enjoy our holiday."
The welcome pack was extremely generous and got us of to a good start and the help given in enabling us to log into their wi fi was invaluable. When Mary heard that our car sat nav had packed up she arranged the loan of a unit to help us find our way round for the week.
-
"We spent a lovely week in Crag End Cottage."

"My partner and I stayed at Crag End Cottage for 4 nights and had a fantastic stay."
The owner, Mary was very communicative and friendly. The cottage is really lovely and very well equipped with everything you could need.
