Looking like the sort of late Georgian
house that Jane Austen might have lived in, this elegant Georgian detached house
is set in a quiet lane on the edge of the ancient
village of Cartmel, famous for its priory church,
racecourse, village square and several notable pubs and restaurants.
It is a Grade II Listed building and all its rooms
catch the sun and overlook either the Priory church or the local fell.
It
was built on the site of the medieval tithe barn and is surrounded by a
walled garden with a pond and stream.

| The
Cottage |
| Over
the last fifteen years we have restored its former glory and
revealed many of the original features. We have furnished it
carefully to keep its charm and character, using period furniture
and Laura Ashley fabrics. Large enough for two families, the house
sleeps eight comfortably, although it
is also cosy enough for couples
(to whom we offer discounts).

fire, colour television, video, CD player, together with a
collection of games;

| The
Area |
Cartmel
is famous for its 800 year old priory, its racecourse and picturesque
village square. It has four excellent pubs which all do good food
and there are several exceptional restaurants nearby.
It is set in a lovely valley and,
being off the busy tourist routes, it is ideally placed for visiting the
Lakes, Windermere being about five miles away. Apart from the
walking and scenery there are many activities closeby, such as golf,
swimming, tennis, steam railways, riding and country sports, and many
stately homes and places of interest to visit.
The sea is three miles away
Grange-over-Sands, and it's half an hour to the more raucous pleasures of
Morecombe (children seem to love it!!)

Don't just take
our word for it - here are some comments from the Visitors' Book at
Field Beck:-

Your
house is ideally situated in this corner of the Lake District.
We found all the local people very friendly and
helpful………The garden is a lovely suntrap.
-
A
beautiful house in a beautiful and friendly village
-
The
house was very good. You never felt alone in it.
There was such a great deal to do and see in the area.
-
Our
second visit and the magic is still here...
-
We had
an excellent time in this lovely place. House cosy and
convenient yet spacious. What excellent views of the
Priory. We will surely come again
-
Had a
wonderful time. NO walking, swimming, climbing, etc.
Just food, drink, games, and best of all, SHOPPING!
Feel very relaxed.
-
Another
visit to the Lake District is over but this is the best yet!
Cartmel is picturesque and unspoilt with eating places to match
every need and that view of the Priory….. Walks to suit every
mood and capability……Last but not least the house with its
warmth and comfort. A real home from home. No
criticism, just admiration, particularly the thought which has
been put into the choice of colour and decoration plus soft
furnishings and interesting furniture. As I said, the best
yet!
|
| NB: ‘Field
Beck’ is a very comfortable but old fashioned and idiosyncratic
house. Nearly half our bookings are from people who have been
before, but if you want perfectly level floors and ceilings, and
standardised furniture and fittings, please do not book ‘Field
Beck’!!
