The Experience
Couples will love it here, hidden away down a quiet lane and with a stunning garden. Sarah and Stewart, who live in the adjoining longhouse have created a bright and pretty space with big windows to let sunshine and rolling countryside flood in.
Stroll to fabulous Cartmel for marvellous Michelin starred food from Simon Rogan, pick up all you need from a plethora of independent shops, a micro-brewery and tapas bar or simply enjoy a pint at a riverside pub. There are gentle walks and some more challenging ones straight from the door and you’re near to The Lakes for wild swimming and cruises.
This is a generous place with blankets for outdoors and a good supply of logs for the wood-burner. The grounds are delightful and are open each evening for you to wander at will – take a glass of wine and watch the garden fall asleep.

Cosy, comfortable and quirky .. with little thoughtful special touches which make you smile … you need to go to find out!! Smart shower room, and well equipped kitchen .. and super living space with a dining table by the huge window giving lots of natural light!! The gallery bedroom was lovely. We really liked the flowers and herbs right outside of our door …pretty and tasty too!! Stewart and Sarah are working incredibly hard making a special place for visitors, as well as a haven for wildlife; the gardens, ponds and cottages are a credit to them!! We didn't want to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Upper Crumble cottage. The cottage has been restored to a very high standard and is a cosy, comfortable place to relax in after a day exploring. Cartmel is only a short walk away and has a good selection of places to eat while the lakes are only a drive away. I would highly recommend staying at Crumble cottages as I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Location
The neighbourhood
Upper Crumble is set in rolling countryside only a mile from Cartmel, not just famous for Sticky Toffee Pudding, but full of small independently run artisan shops, Michelin starred food and its own brewery and wine merchant. Haverthwaite Steam Railway is ten minutes away and it’s only 15 minutes to Lake Windermere. Grizedale Forest is great for mountain biking. Scafel Pike, The Old Man of Coniston and the Langdales are all in easy reach.
Local points of interest from Sarah Byrne & Stewart Cowe
- Leave your car in the car park and walk straight from the cottage, almost immediately you will have views of Morecambe Bay. Join the Coastal Path at Bigland Tarn or walk the sea shore from Grange to Humphrey Head. Guides and maps are in the cottage.
- Coniston Water is perfect for wild swimming - 20 mins away, the east shore has quiet bays and shallow water. Mountain biking at Grizedale, water sports on Lake Windermere, climbing Via Ferrata at Honiston Slate Mine and in the village Cartmel Segway.
- Four miles over the hill just past the Lakeland Motor Museum is the Haverthwaite Steam Train - transfer to a hop-on-hop-off ferry around Lake Windermere. You can opt to walk between stops. An easy way to visit Bowness or the new Jetty Boat Museum.
- Crumble Gardens open for the NGS but guests can visit privately each evening. Close by is Levens Hall with it’s ancient topiary, Holehird, Sizergh Castle and Holker Hall are also great gardens and along the way lots of specialist plant nurseries.
- Cartmel’s riverside pubs are warm, welcoming with craft ales, log fires and good food or, eat at one of Simon Rogan’s Michelin restaurants for a special treat. Several places serve hearty breakfasts, delicious coffee and of course sticky toffee pudding!
- Our famous cheese shop is a firm favourite with guests - set in Unsworth Yard a place also to eat al fresco with tapas, fresh pizza, fine wine and it’s own microbrewery. Visit the delicatessen and bakery to bring a selection home for a special supper.

Introducing
Sarah Byrne & Stewart Cowe
Sarah and Stewart are warm, professional, passionate about design and about making sure you feel completely at home. Sarah is a garden designer/horticulturalist and if not tending the walled garden, growing flowers or improving wildlife habitat, she restores rocking horses and antiques. Stewart can often be found in his workshop working on vintage cars or sharing fly-casting skills with guests.
Beautiful cottage with everything one could possibly want - well equipped kitchen, delightful bathroom, log burner and a huge bed with pillows like clouds. Sarah and Stewart are excellent and helpful hosts. Cartmel village a stroll away and the majestic lakes an easy drive. There are loads of nearby attractions, the village has great pubs and if it rains, hole up and enjoy a round of Scrabble, provided in the box of goodies. We'd thoroughly recommend this cottage.
