  • "The apartment is absolutely beautiful."

    We visit Cartmel regularly and the location is perfect. We will definitely be using this accommodation again. Very clean, really nice apartment, lovely original features. Everything you would need.

    What lovely feedback on the apartment. So glad you enjoyed your stay there. Thanks for letting us know. With kind regards, Paula & Coert Property Owner

  • "This property is in a great location within easy walking distance of the racecourse and Priory and the town square with a vast selection of dog friendly pubs and restaurants, cafes and shops to suit every taste and budget."

    The interior of the property is tastefully decorated. The good sized living room and bedroom have a cozy, warm feeling to them and provide a home from home. We appreciated the many extra touches provided to add to the comfort of our stay. Thanks for the lovely bottle of wine and basic provisions to get us started. The owner answered our questions honestly when booking so we were prepared to deal with the fact that there was no garden or parking and the tiny shower room, off the galley kitchen. Slippers are needed but the shower worked well and the wide windowsill provided ample space to put bags containing our bathroom stuff which was easily reachable from the shower. Small bathrooms can be easier to negotiate and that proved to be the case here, albeit one at a time.These things did not detract from our stay, either for ourselves or our two Labradors who loved their holiday with regular walks around the racecourse , albeit sometimes in the early hours of the morning, (an extra evening walk after dinner solved that difficulty) and a choice of lovely dog friendly beaches and stately homes with extensive grounds to visit within easy reach. Overall this apartment provided excellent value for money and the residents parking permit provided for use during our stay proved invaluable.

    Thank you so much for your thorough and much appreciated review Christine, so glad to hear you both had a good time at the apartment with your two labs. With kind regards, Paula & Coert Property Owner

  • "Beautiful accomodation in a central location."

    The welcome basket of goodies and the bottle of fizz were much appreciated and the little touches such as the welcome notice, and the dog biscuits made us feel special. The reason I am not giving it 4 stars is there is building work going on opposite which starts early in the morning and goes on all day. I appreciate there is nothing the owner can do about that however it looks like the building work is going to go for a while yet so it may be this should be flagged to potential guests. We will come back and stay again - but once the builders have gone.

    Thank you Mike for your feedback, I’m glad you appreciated all the extra touches we do. What a nuisance about the building work opposite and I’m so sorry it impacted your stay. I’ll find out how long it will go on for and discuss with Sykes. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Great to hear you will be back though. With kind regards, Paula & Coert P.S. works opposite will be complete by August I’m told and will get less and less until then Property Owner

  • "Having read that a parking permit would be available we were disappointed to find that there wasn’t one so,despite trying the no."

    given several times and unable to get a reply we were forced to pay £35 to park in the racecourse. Then on Monday morning the builders arrived to work on the building about 6yards in front of the apartment. They commenced to start cutting stone with the attendant dust and noise. Unlike most British workmen they worked until about six in the evening. Fortunately the weather was kind so we were able to stay out until they left. It’s a shame as it’s a nice apartment and the welcome pack when we arrived was very nice.

    Dear Edward, Our apologies for the lack of parking pass, this is renewed yearly by the council and unfortunately at the time of your stay we were still awaiting it’s arrival. My housekeeper forgot to leave you the message about it. I must state here that although the parking pass is provided, it’s not actually listed in the description of features. Will chase up what happened with the lack of response to your calls, that was very disappointing as we take pride in looking after our guests. We are glad you enjoyed the apartment and welcome pack at least. With kind regards, Paula & Coert Property Owner

  • "The apartment overall was lovely although unfortunately we did find a few negatives!"

    The welcome pack was very much appreciated and the parking permit was great. I know you can’t really do anything about the layout but we found the bedroom huge and the bathroom tiny, and we did struggle a bit with that. We had awful weather so spent quite a lot of time inside the apartment and found the settee in the lounge very uncomfortable. The channels available on the TV were great. Unfortunately my Husband didn’t sleep too well as he said his side of the bed sloped down at his side (left side as you stand at the bottom), my side was fine! We were disturbed quite early on Wednesday morning by the painters that were doing work on the outside of the building! Overall we had a lovely break, we had our first holiday together in Cartmel, nearly 30 years ago! We had a lovely meal every night at the many pubs there are in Cartmel, we were spoilt for choice!

    Thank you for your thorough feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in Cartmel. We did warn you about the exterior being painted and offered our cleaner’s parking permit to compensate for any incovenience but still, it’s a shame you were disturbed by the decorators. The work had been scheduled to be carried out while the apartment was empty but unfortunately the job was pushed back. We will check out the bed and re-evaluate the sofa but as you say nothing we can do about layout I’m afraid. Thanks for taking the time to review. With kind regards, Paula & Coert Property Owner

    The location and apartment are stunning and perfect for visiting the lakes and surrounding events, we had an excellent week, weather allowing of course. A couple of small things that would add greatly if possible to the experience, parking as you know can be difficult at popular times, if possible the temporary use of a local permit would be great, particularily for disabled clients, allowing parking closer to the property. If possible the addition of a clothes washer/drier would be a great addition if it can be fitted in, of great benefit especially in bad weather for walkers cyclists and others etc.. These are small additions that would be an attractive benefit enhancing visitor pleasure increasing the appeal of 1 Tower House facilities and add further to a very enjoyable visit. Thank you so much, 1 Tower House is now high on our favourite places list for the Lake District. Kind Regards Allan and Christine Gilchrist

    Thank you Allan & Christine for taking the time to write such a full and lovely review. We really appreciate your feedback. I agree, a washer/ drier would be great but we’ve not been able to accommodate it within the kitchen (as it is now) unfortunately. As a non-resident we don’t have a spare parking permit I’m afraid.

  • "We had a very relaxing time."

    The flat was very clean, beautifully decorated with lovely paintings and was very comfortable with every amenity provided for. The bed was large and extremely luxurious, so much so that we struggled getting out of it in the morning. The towels smelt lovely, please let us know what you use to wash them. The welcome gift pack together with the wine and the fresh flowers, especially the single rose on the bed were extra nice touches. Although we couldn’t park directly outside the property, there were safe parking areas free at the side of the road near the race course. Cartmel is a quaint village which you can walk around easily with a good small supermarket and other shops / coffee shops to buy refreshments and souvenirs. There are 4 pubs, one being directly across the road from Tower House however we didn’t experience any noise from there. We thoroughly recommend the Unsworth Brewery where you can have cocktails and craft ale and has an outside drinking space with heaters. There is also a restaurant, Oscars. We appreciate the building is grade 2 listed and sometimes there can faults with it which are hard to rectify. The shower flow was powerful however the drainage was slower to drain away and therefore had to keep turning the shower off mid way to let it drain. The basin hot tap shuddered and made a loud noise as if it had an air lock. However these minor details did not detract from the brilliant stay that we had at 1 Tower House. We would thoroughly recommend it and would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you for making our holiday special.

    Thank you for leaving such a thorough review, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the flat and had such a special time in Cartmel.

  • "A beautiful & super comfortable apartment right in the heart of Cartmel."

    We had some really nice surprise extras including fresh flowers, Prosecco, coffee, tea, food, dog treats & more. Lovely location, we couldn’t have asked for more for our stay. We would highly recommend Tower House as a couple with a dog it was brilliant although there’s not a garden it’s the most beautiful village to walk around and super friendly people, fields nearby and of course the wonderful Cartmel racecourse and surrounding woodland with a half hour drive to Lake Windermere and the coast. Restaurants, pubs and cafés in the village all serving delicious food. Oh and if you love cheese you have to visit the cheese, beer and wine yard. Which is a three minute walk from the front door. Heavenly!!

    If we can make someone’s holiday that extra bit special that makes us happy too. It’s just lovely to receive such wonderful appreciation, not only on this site, but in the beautiful card you left us too. Thank you so much. With kind regards, Paula & Coert Property Owner
