The Mallard Teashop also offers luxury holiday accommodation with a delightful, double bedroom, hide-away situated overlooking Cartmel Priory.

Completely self-contained and furnished to the highest standard, this idyllic retreat manages to maintain a peaceful location even during busy Cartmel Races weekends, all within a minute’s walk of the village’s famous restaurants, pubs and shops.

Alternatively, why not relax in the Unsworth’s Yard courtyard, with a pint from the brewery or a glass or two from Cartmel Drink Shop & Wine Snug.

Tariff: from £80 per night or £450 per week. Bookings can be made via Airbnb, email mallardsnest@icloud.com or call 07831 412418
