Vacation Rental Description
The Carthouse sleeps six in real comfort, with three bedrooms all with six foot wide superking beds which can be arranged as twin beds if required. The main bathroom has a whirlpool bath, with a powerful shower over, there is a wetroom with powerful shower on the ground floor. Our guests all appreciate the quality toiletries that we include.
Set in a fabulous remote location, surrounded by fells and farmland, with views out to The Howgills, Wild Boar Fell and Mallerstang, yet only a mile from the village of Ravenstonedale with pub/restaurant and local shop. The area is a haven for walkers and cyclists, and those who simply love relaxing in peaceful surroundings in the countryside. We're privileged to have Red Squirrels in our grounds, and for many of our guests it's the first time they've seen one. Our grounds lead straight out onto Ravenstonedale Common for a gentle stroll, or there are plenty of challenging walks as well! Your dog will love it here.
Our location means you have a choice of both the Lake District and The Yorkshire Dales to explore, as well as the local attractions.
The Carthouse is one of three cottages in a sympathetic conversion of our magnificent stone barn, and all three cottages have a Visit Britain Four Star rating, each with a Gold Award reflecting our standards.
The Carthouse is arranged on three floors, with the lounge and a separate kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, and a wetroom. There is a comfortable day bed in the lounge, which can be used as proper single bed for guests who can't manage the stairs. The first floor has two bedrooms and bathroom, and the third bedroom is on the top floor. The cottage has underfloor heating throughout, apart from the top bedroom which has a radiator, powered by our ground source heat pumps. There is also a logburning stove in the lounge for an extra cosy or romantic touch. The lounge has two sofas, and a door leads out into the fenced courtyard area, where there is also a lockable store for bikes. The kitchen/dining room is fully equipped, including fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, and a breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the dining area, where the table can seat up to eight in comfort.
The Carthouse is very popular with groups of adults, as well as families. Although it sleeps six, we offer a reduced rate if you only need two bedrooms but want the special facilities of The Carthouse, such as bringing a dog.
