Carr Crag Pavilion

Perfect location and setting to travel around the lakes

I'll take this opportunity to say thank you ever so much for letting us spend our lakes weekend in your beautiful property. What a change from our usual Parkdean static! We loved every minute there and our four legged family member was overjoyed throughout. We'd love to make a second appearance at some point in the future, if you'd have us of course. The bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch too. Thanks again and all the best, Harry and Family

This place is amazing! Exactly as you see in the photos! You are right in the nature where you can enjoy the field and explore the nearby river. We even saw a baby deer just outside! We were two families of 4 adults, a 2-year old and a dog and we couldn't be more happy with the choice we made. The house was warm and the rooms quite spacious and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and we will probably be coming back at some point.

Everything was stress free from check in to check out. We really enjoyed our stay. The place was lovely, had everything you could possibly need and clean and tidy. The house/grounds/garden are lovely and in a wonderful location (easy to locate and parking is great) Would recommend. Thanks, Rik and family Ps. We were visited by Deer also :)

Hugely enjoyable stay. Great location

The Pavillion was a beautiful place to stay on our week holiday walking in The Lakes. Very cosy and warm, a perfect house to return to after a days hiking. Within a short drive to Ambleside for us it was a great location slightly away from the crowds. The garden was fantastic for the dog and we even saw a few deer in the mornings. We’d definitely come back again.

Lovely cottage saw the deer only disappointment no washing machine thats fine if you drive to launderette in Ambleside which we dont so dirty washing after walking was not great other than that great thanks

this was our first trip to the lakes where we've stopped over. the location is perfect for anyone wanting to do walks/hikes straight from the front door. it's close enough to Ambleside if you need to eat out or do a food shop but far enough away to feel out the way and less crowds the host was always responsive and it won't be the last time we stop in one of their properties. we'd definitely come back again

Great!

Lovely place for a getaway. Slightly secluded so great for peace and quiet. There is a great breakfast place by the river (5 mins walk away). Easy access to Ambleside, Windermere etc. Very comfortable house. We were two adults and two young children and the space was just right. Great gardens and ground surrounding. Very responsive management team. Would highly recommend. Thanks

A lovely and quiet spot, with a pub within walking distance. The gardens are beautiful, and my dog loved running around the great space. The house was clean, with everything you could need and also thoughtful touches like boardgames and books. A short drive from great walks, with plenty options from the door too!

We loved our stay in this beautiful part of the world. The cottage was clean tidy and in a perfect location for us - near one of our favourite cafes and several hikes. The garden is breathtaking and we had deer one morning. The space is small and worked well for our little family. Puzzles and Lego much appreciated by our toddler.

Had a fantastic time. The place is lovely! Especially the gardens and surrounding woodland. Shared the garden with a couple of deer most nights/mornings. Did struggle to find it based off the provided postcode, but other than that, no problem at all.

Had an amazing stay. The grounds are so well kept we saw deer most nights. Was very impressed with the games and toys for toddlers which was very handy during rainy afternoons. The location is perfect. The walks to Elterwater were great with a toddler and dog , again in all weathers. Highly recommend The talbot and Chesters for food. Gorgeous place , cosy , comfortable and clean.

Pavilion in a lovely setting amongst the trees. Inside was a comfortable well planned space.

We had a fantastic 4 nights at The Pavilion. The grounds are beautiful and the location is fabulous with picturesque walks straight from the front door. The Talbot opposite does great food and as a bonus is dog friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We had such a fantastic time staying at Carr Crag Pavilion!! Fantastic walks right on your doorstep and only a short drive to a good few peaks!! The Talbot bar is just across the road where we had a decent meal after a hard days walking. Accommodation was clean and so well situated. Also Look out for the deers in the grounds!!

Absolutely stunning! The location was amazing. Very well situated. Good home base to go on various day trips all over the Lakes without having to lose too much time travelling. The cottage is well equipped with all the basics you might need. The gardens around the cottage are beautiful and we ended up spending time just sitting on the couch looking out the open doors at the various colours in front of us. Worth it through and through and hope to visit again.

Lovely 3 night stay at the Carr Crag accommodation. Exactly as described, so peaceful and an amazing view into the woods. Comfy beds, the cottage was always warm, we did light the wood fire but had to purchase matches! Beautiful family friendly walk to Elterwater, Talbot inn over the road was great for dinner, we ate there twice. Also Chester’s by the river for breakfast was a two minute walk. Highly recommend Michelle’s property

Amazing property & location thank you

Lovely cottage, perfect for our 3 sausage dogs to run around outside.

Lovely cottage, perfect for our 3 sausage dogs to run around outside.

Beautiful setting, serene, peaceful and secluded yet within close distance to anything you may need.

lovely property in a beautiful setting. Great walks on the doorstep and its a really central location to explore the lakes! We had everything we needed in the property for a great weekend break. I loved my morning cuppa watching the deer grazing in the bluebells!

Great cottage in a great location All amenities we wanted in kitchen Garden space superb.

Wonderful location, parking, and garden. Comfortable stay, modern interior, would definitely stay again 🙂

On arrival we were very impressed with the house and surrounding. Easy access into the property and everything was made easy to understand, a very nice treat was left on dinning room table. House was nice and warm and clean. Bedroom was clean, we did find the bed a little uncomfortable, but may be a personal thing. Kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Location to the property was perfect for the walks we wanted to do and completed a 11.5 mile circular walk include the cathedral caves, elterwater and Grasmere which all had a nice pub to relax on each stage of the walk. I would recommend this property to anyone who wishes to visit that park of the lakes, There was one small issue but was only because we had a really long walk and just wanted to put are feet up and watch a programme on TV but may have been issue at time but WiFi kept on dropping out, (like I say a very small issue at time,) Would definitely go back as house and location are prefect. 10/10 thank youx

Really enjoyed this place - beautiful view from sitting area - really warm and homely feel. All I’d say is make sure you know the way in so you don’t get lost in the dark!

Beautiful cottage in the most stunning surroundings. Finally got to relax and take a load off. Well equipped, warm and spotless. We will be back!

Really lovely and private place to stay. We had our dog and daughter so the garden was perfect for them to run around. We even had deer visit on our last morning! 8 minute drive to Ambleside is ideal.

A great stay for a weekend. Best location with walks on the door step. Within easy reach of Grasmere, Ambleside and Windermere. Would definitely stay again. Bring, lots of wood for the fire in winter.

Would highly recommend! Beautiful location. Couldn’t fault it.

Brilliant location. Everything you need for a week in the Lakes. Close to pubs, cafes and great walks.

Carr Crag Pavilion lived up to all our expectations. It's a perfect location in the heart of the Lake District to explore, walk and enjoy the surrounding breath-taking scenery. The Pavilion was clean, warm and well-equipped for 4 people. the garden was beautiful and the wonderful Chesters was just across the road. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful place very central for some lovely walks, spotlessly clean & a welcoming gift when you arrive as well as milk in the fridge so you can have a coffee & chill when you arrive. Definitely will return.

Great accommodation in a fabulous location.

Overall, it is a lovely place to stay (would give 4.5 stars if that was possible). The accommodation is spacious and clean, and the furniture and beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has all the necessary appliances, pans, and utensils, and was nice to have coffee, sugar, and milk waiting upon our arrival. Lovely garden/grounds and outside seating. And visiting deer! The location is wonderful, right in the countryside but no so off the beaten track that getting there is a hassle. It’s about 45mins walk from Ambleside which was fine for us. I would recommend taking the route that leads through Bog Lane; it’s a little longer but otherwise you’ll be walking down a busy – but often narrow - road mostly on said road. Note there is zero phone signal in the house; we found this a blessing, but others may not (there is signal in the parking area). We would definitely stay again. There were a few things to be aware of though. The way the heating is arranged and controlled, and lack of heated towel rack, means there isn’t anywhere to effectively dry wet (as opposed to damp) clothes. We were caught in a downpour so were soaked, and drying clothes from that state was tricky. Also, did feel a little nickel-and-dimed in places given it is not a cheap place. Not the end of the world, but only being provided with two toilet rolls and only enough wood for one evening’s fire (with no kindling/lighters or matches) was frustrating.

Amazing place, lovely location - we saw deer every day. A home from home.

It was a wonderful week beautiful accommodation, deer in the back garden and red squirrels everywhere, it was heaven.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carr Crag. Lots of good walks on your doorstep including Loughrigg Tarn and Fell. Chester’s, across the road, is great for coffee and sourdough bread (but watch kids with the road…it’s a blind corner and they don’t spare the horses!). The Brittania at Elterwater (30 min walk) is worth the effort for food and beer but Talbot will do in an emergency. The cottage is well appointed. Lovely shower and comfy beds. Broadband is a bit tardy but to be expected. Overall a good spot!

The most beautiful setting in the lakes!! We enjoyed a gorgeous long weekend as a family of 5 here. It was perfect. We were greeted by deer every afternoon in the back garden. Our children loved the garden and ran up and down the hill throughout the weekend. We toasted marshmallows on the fire pit in the evening and we had a beautiful walk to Elterwater. The cottage had everything we needed and was a lovely break from the busy lives we all lead. We would visit again in a heartbeat. Fantastic host & beautiful property!!

Excellent service from Lakeland Retreats. Accommodation was lovely and an ideal location. The garden was great with its very own deer, fantastic. Nice local walks and the food at the Skelwith Bridge Hotel was very good. We will be back!

Great cottage in a great location All amenities we wanted in kitchen Garden space superb.

The location,cleanliness and layout of cottage is perfect.

Everything was absolutely perfect, I couldn't fault a thing. The location was great, with a handful of walks being right on your doorstep with many others being just a short drive away. The gardens were beautiful and was made even better by the local deer paying a visit every morning/afternoon. The place itself was stunning and everything we could need was already provided for us! I throughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back again in the future!

Lovely property in a beautiful setting. Great walks on the doorstep and its a really central location to explore the lakes! We had everything we needed in the property for a great weekend break. I loved my morning cuppa watching the deer grazing in the bluebells!

Lodging was perfect and as described. So quiet and peaceful and in a beautiful setting. Very comfortable with all amenities necessary for a short stay. Fully recommended

Just as amazing as the previous 5 visits.We keep coming back because this place is super.This is the first time we hired Carr Cragg, previously we always hired out the Lawns but due to now having our 2 hear old daughter with us, we needed the separate bedroom.

A truly superb location and a real gem of a cottage. Well equipped, great communication and superb value for money. You can walk straight from the door with the dog and enjoy all that the Langdale's have to offer. The local pub is very good but walking up the river to Elterwater and you will find the lovely Britannia Inn which has great food and a stunning location. The house was well equipped and neat and tidy - the champagne on arrival and milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Will certainly go again.

Beautiful setting, serene, peaceful and secluded yet within close distance to anything you may need.

First time visiting Lake district and this location didn't disappoint.

Lovely property in a beautiful location. The check-in process was easy and well-communicated. Check-out time is a bit early at 10am but otherwise a great stay.

Lovely cottage, perfect for our 3 sausage dogs to run around outside.

Great place. Wonderful garden, deer visited on a couple of days. Accommodation very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great location close to Ambleside. Perfect for walks straight from the cottage. Was great for the dog as well. Property had everything I needed for my stay just a quick trip to Asda and I was all set.

Thankyou for a lovely stay! ❤️✨ Right near Chesters which is perfect for us were vegan! Lovely walks nearby too - will be back!

Great location and pleasant, clean property. Highlight was watching deer in the garden!

Great location. Quiet but close to lovely walks, chesters cafe and a pub. Would love to stay again

We (family of 4 with two teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed this property, it was situated in a lovely area next to Ambleside and close enough to pretty much everything else you'd want to visit in the Lakes. When we arrived we used the keybox and read the manual left out for us, the company were very helpful in all dealings and the property was well cleaned before we arrived. The property itself was well equipped and left us feeling very comfortable when we were there and not out exploring. The bedrooms are of a good size with comfortable beds and the bathroom and kitchen are fine for family use with the lounge area to relax in, the wood burner works very well and heats the room quickly. The property itself is tucked up a lane with off-road parking and is very quiet, a really nice spot to hide away in for your stay. We had a lovely week here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - would definitely recommend. The outdoor space was amazing and it was very clean with all the facilities you’d expect :)

Amazing location with a beautiful garden. The wildlife (including a family of deer!) visiting the garden each day was fabulous. Great for relaxing or as a base for walking.

Perfect spot to get out and explore with walking trails right on the doorstep leading to the most stunning lakes. Would also highly recommend the pub at the end of the road. Didn’t want to leave!

Lovey cottage, great gardens and ideal setting for walking, biking & coffee/ cake at Chester’s. Communication excellent and check in easy. Hope to revisit. Thanks

This was such a perfect place for a low key celebration. The grounds were particularly stunning with the bluebells and wildlife (we saw a baby deer and it’s mother whilst eating our breakfast outside), and the beds were especially comfy! We all had a joyous time, and would definitely stay again.

Lovely accommodation, great local walks from the door.

The house and grounds are lovely. A great location, lots of walks from the house and easy car access to Ambleside, Grasmere and Coniston. We had an excellent lunch at Zeffirellis in Ambleside. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful cottage in a secluded and peaceful location. Great to listen to the birds on a morning, and watch the squirrels in the trees. The cottage has everything you need to feel relaxed and comfortable. A short 5 min walk to Chesters for great food, or a 30 min walk into Elterwater and Chapel Stile for Pub grub. Had 2 great meals in the Brittania Inn in Elterwater. Hope to return soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carr Crag Pavillion. The location is great and easy to find. The property was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. It was warm and comfortable too. Some of the furnishings are a little tired but nothing that detracted from our enjoyment of our stay here. Would stay here again.

Carr Cragg is in a lovely setting ,we had a visit from a deer during our stay. The place itself is well set out and has all the things you need in the kitchen to cook your own meals if you dont want to make use of the Talbot Bar a couple of minutes down the road. Has a log burner in the main room which is great on those wet days,although the storage heaters give out enough warmth on most days. Lots of hot water for the shower as well. Great location for Windermere and Ambleside.

Beautiful place in a beautiful location Great for walks pub and restaurant 2 mins away.

We’ve had a lovely week at Carr Crag Pavilion with our 2 Labradors. Fantastic location fantastic views fantastic walks & lots of sightings of deers. Lakeland Retreats are a great company & their arrival box is simply yummy. Thankyou

“This is the way to relax!”

A great little bolt hole for key places to visit across the Lakes area

Great size property and grounds. Lovely and quiet location with easy drive to all the main attractions. It’s easy to miss the driveway so make sure you read the directions the owner gives you.

In a beautiful wooded private dell , safe for children and our dog to play . The children loved the fire pit at the top of the garden and we sat round in the dark telling stories and listening to music . You can walk across the road to the Talbot pub for a hearty meal and a game of pool . Come back to the cabin and sit in front of the log burner to keep warm . Lots of great walks right opposite the property .

Thanks for a great holiday so quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay again .

“Fantastic cottage in the heart of Lake district with all amenities, silence to enjoy and walk to Pub after drenched walks. Skelwith bridge is strategically located in the middle of Langlades valley, at the crossroads (and almost walking distance) from Lake Windermere, Lake Coniston and the lovely villages of Grassmere and Ambleside. Great discount if you take the whole week and very efficient welcome from Michelle with some thoughtful touches for breakfasts. Not to be missed!

Great location close to Chester’s tea rooms. Short drive to Ambleside. Beautiful quiet location. You can hear the water in the background. Perfect self catering facilities for a family of four. Large beautiful and extensive outdoor area perfect for a bbq. We had some really cosy nights in with the kids
