The cottage features an open plan living area with exposed ceiling beams, a wood-burning stove, a modern, well-equipped kitchen and an open staircase leading to the two bedrooms.
Outside, there is a small front garden with a seating area, from which guests can watch racehorses trot past each day from the nearby stables.

The area surrounding Cartmel Cottage
The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham, situated on the edge of the North Yorkshire Dales and nestled between the rivers Ure and Cover, is renowned for its history and racing stables. Known as “the Windsor of the North”, its Georgian and Victorian building are dominated by a Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The castle was owned by the “Kingmaker” Earl of Warwick during the Wars of the Roses, before passing into the hands of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III, after his marriage to Warwick’s youngest daughter, Anne Neville.
Wonderful walking can be enjoyed from the doorstep, and market towns such as Richmond, Leyburn, Masham, famous for the Theakston's and Black Sheep breweries, and Hawes, the home of Wensleydale cheese, are within easy reach.
Please note that Middleham is a working rural town with farm traffic and horses on the roads from early in the morning.
