The Cavendish Arms

The Cavendish Arms is much more than a Lake District hotel, but rather a charming retreat with a fine restaurant. It is a 450 year old coaching inn, set in the picturesque village of Cartmel, with beamed ceilings, a wealth of antique furniture and a blazing log fire. We serve excellent British food using the finest of local produce, wines and traditional beers and ales. With friendly relaxed service and very comfortable rooms, you will find yourself drifting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life into Cartmel's perfectly laid back village way of life.

If you’re walking in the Lake District or simply looking for a bed and breakfast the Cavendish Arms offers that personal and special accommodation. The area is teaming with outdoor activities and apart from walking, there is horse riding, Cartmel races, Lake Windermere and more. We've even teamed up with Black Horses Ltd to offer carriage tours of the village from just £45. If the Lake District weather has not favoured your camping or holiday cottage break, then come and unwind in our pleasant welcoming surroundings. See the Cartmel Village website for more things to do while you are here.
