Getting here

Cartmel Village is easily accessible via the M6 and A590. With Kendal and the Southlakes to the North East and Ulverston plus the Furness Peninsula to the West, there's lots to see and given the remote, rural setting, transport links are still reasonably accessible.

Boutique Stays at Cartmel Square is situated (as the name suggests), is situated in Cartmel Square, right in the heart of the village, close to both the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cartmel Racecourse, L'Enclume plus a range of great pubs.

If you need any help or assistance planning your trip, feel free to get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

The beauty of the small things ✨⠀
⠀
At the Square, we believe true luxury is found in the quietest details—the softest linens, the weight of a ceramic mug, and the thoughtful touches that make a space feel like home. We care for the little things, so you can simply breathe and be.⠀
