The Experience
Find oak beams and shutters, small-paned windows and thick old walls in this pretty cottage surrounded by glorious gardens (open for the NGS) and stunning countryside. Horticulturist Sarah gardens with wildlife in mind and has her own beehives and a walled vegetable garden – any summer/autumn excess is offered to you and you are free to wander at will in the evenings.
It’s a generous place, with wine in the fridge, the fire ready to light and a full basket of logs. Stroll to Cartmel for Michelin-starred food from Simon Rogan, Unsworth Yard for a bakery, a super cheese shop, tapas bar, brewery and wine merchant, or enjoy a pint in one of the riverside pubs.
Visit famous gardens, take a lake cruise or head to the coast – then return to a stylish kitchen, a sociable place to cook and eat together while admiring the garden views through the stable door from the bistro table. Sink into the large comfortable sofa in front of the wood-burner to chat about today’s – and plan tomorrow’s – adventures.

We can highly recommend Crumble Cottage. We arrived to a basket of vegetables and fruit a jug of herbs and vases of sweet peas all from the garden, lovingly cared for by Sarah and Stewart. The cottage was beautifully prepared for us and Sarah and Stewart were on hand every day always unobtrusive so we felt we were on our own. We did enjoy their company and conversation. Cartmel and the surrounding area was beautiful and some super places to eat particularly in Cartmel from budget to Michelin Star.

We had a magical stay, The cottage was really beautiful, we were given a lovely warm welcome and made to feel very at home. The attention to detail was excellent the complimentary bottle of wine being a particularly nice touch. I enjoyed the walk into Cartmel which is charming and strongly recommend the double decker bus ride to Grange via the villages, it is a must !! We look forward to coming back to stay again so a big thank you to Sarah and Stuart

Our short break in Cartmel was fantastic & it was wonderful having such a beautiful, homely & luxurious place to base ourselves. Sarah & Stewart were so friendly & the little touches of a birthday message, wine, cake & fresh vegetables on arrival were really touching. Crumble Cottage is beautifully laid out & comfortable. The setting is stunning & quiet but within walking distance of all that Cartmel has to offer. We would highly recommend It to anyone looking for a lovely hideaway to relax in. We will definitely be returning!

Stewart can often be found in his workshop working on vintage cars or sharing fly-casting skills with guests.
Perfection in miniature. This tiny cottage has everything you could want for a getaway romantic break. Great location, great facilities and welcoming and friendly hosts. We'll be back!
