No2 The Flags, No2 The Flaggs Cartmel, Grange-over-sands

No2 The Flags sits right in the heart of Cartmel village in the Lake District. This spacious 4-bedroom holiday home sleeps up to 11 people and comes with its own private hot tub for those evenings when you want to soak away your hiking aches with a glass of something cold. The property features a majestic hallway that leads to a cosy lounge with a wood burner - perfect for those chilly Cumbrian evenings when you've had one too many sticky toffee puddings.

Cartmel itself is a foodie's wet dream. The village boasts excellent restaurants and local shops within stumbling distance. You're just a short drive from Lake Windermere and surrounded by the stunning Lake District landscape. After a day of walking, climbing, or just eating your body weight in local cheese, you'll appreciate being so close to the pubs. No need for designated drivers here - everyone can enjoy a tipple!

The accommodation features a stylish kitchen-diner with high ceilings, skylights and a proper AGA for those who fancy themselves as the next Nigella. The first floor houses a large master bedroom with king-size bed, a triple bunk room for the kids (or adults who've lost the bedroom lottery) and a cosy double. The enclosed garden with patio area is perfect for al fresco dining or watching the stars from the hot tub.

Cartmel Racecourse is practically on your doorstep for those who fancy a flutter. Lake Windermere (15 minutes drive) offers boating and water activities. The Lake District National Park surrounds you with countless walking trails. And Holker Hall & Gardens (3 miles, 8 minutes) provides a dose of historical elegance when you're cultured enough to put down your wine glass.

No2 The Flags is ideal for family gatherings or groups of friends. The hot tub, wood burner and central village location make it a winner all year round.
