The Pheasant Inn, hotel in Cartmel

Situated in Grange Over Sands, 26 km from World of Beatrix Potter, The Pheasant Inn features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

Absolutely spotless, the staff were BRILLIANT and so so friendly, the food was incredible, the best vegetarian breakfast ive ever had ANYWHERE ,it was fantastic, the evening meal was properly home cooked in kitchens and piping hot, and Absolutely incredible taste, so makes little sauces and dressings over things, was a lovely experience to eat and sleep there. The Bed in room 3 was possibly the most comphy bed ive slept in, the duvet was so sqwishy and lovely and pillows were like billowing clouds, and i slept like a log. The bathroom in room 3 is immaculate and huuuuuuge shower try, you could fit a rugby team in there, and again hot water ,and high pressure, and a loo that flushed like a monsoon tornado, i doo love a good flushing loo. Lovely quiet room and no outside noise, even with the window open, the only sound were birds singing. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, everyone was genuinely lovely and i most definitely will be going back.

    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.

    Caramel is a beautiful, small village with many pubs and restaurants and a few shops to browse. It’s peaceful and a lovely place to stop for a coffee or alcoholic beverage. There is a great cheese deli where you can choose from lots of different cheeses made locally and even try before you buy with a glass of wine or locally made ale. The famous mitchelin star restaurant L’Enclume is amazing and of course there is the famous sticky toffee pudding shop.

    Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village.

    Cartmel is a quaint picturesque village. It is lovely to stroll around. Quaint little antique and book shops, lovely little square with inns around it, the church, sheep and lambs in the fields. Lovely! Our expectations were high when we saw it but... There is almost no parking in the village except for 1hr or 2hr slots. Not much use for staying guests. The nearest overnight car parking was at the race course. £10 overnight charge. The card payment was not working. Coins only!!! We and others were searching for £10 in coins so that we could leave in the morning! Cartmel is largely shut from Sunday to Wednesday (slight exaggeration but you get the drift). Eateries close early or are not open at all. Cartmel has its own brewery. The brewery eatery only does Thurs, Fri, Sat! Thanks goodness for the Pig and Whistle which is only a short walk from the centre. If you want good food, good drink all at reasonable prices then it is a life saver. There is also free parking nearby which you can use overnight. To be clear I have no affiliation to it but it did serve us well. We ate and drank there other than on our first night.

    Cartmel is a small village served by several pubs, cafes and restaurants. There is a reasonable car park that is just on the edge of the village adjacent to the racecourse, leaving a short walk to the shops and pubs. The place to stay on a visit to L’Enclume.

    Fantastic bed and breakfast in the epicentre of lovely Cartmel. Communication with Rachel prior to arrival was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, both the public areas and the room in which we stayed. The room, recently re-decorated, is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Modern bathroom, super comfrotable bed, tea kettle/espresso machine - who needs more? Breakfast was stellar, be it the full English or the continental. We'll be delighted to come back and we thank Rachel for making our weekend in Cartmel special!

    The location was great, right in the centre square. Our room was perfect, really well presented, clean, comfy bed, great facilities, cosy. Breakfast at the hotel opposite was also great, we were in a cute little room with a log burner, had a few different hot breakfast options and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The whole stay was so much better than what I expected for the price.

    We booked to visit Cartmel primarily to go to the races. On arrival at the hotel and on first sight of our room, we were blown away by how gorgeous it was. Amazing views of the racecourse and the beautiful grounds of the hotel. The staff were all lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Would love to go back there one day!

    The village setting, and inn were lovely. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The food(tea) and drink served before the fireplace was excellent, including my introduction to sticky toffee pudding. Traditional English breakfast was a good start to our day.

    Staff - attentive, regularly checking service, but not over the top. Great views with beautiful sunset if you're lucky. Traditional restaurant menu (not classic pub food) chicken and steak meals we ordered were delicious, hot and plentiful. Good choice of hotel

    Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Uplands is between Cartmel and Grange so is only minutes from each. Local taxis are a few minutes away and easy to get. Would definitely stay again.
