“Uplands Inn Cartmel strikes me as a particularly welcoming, family-run place, emphasizing personal touches like birthday surprises and genuine assistance with local transport; add to that the fact that it welcomes dogs, and you have a property that clearly values warmth. With fresh, pre-ordered breakfasts and dinners cooked to perfection using local ingredients, the culinary experience seems a highlight, further enhanced by the setting within two acres of gardens near Cartmel. I think it is a really nice option.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Drawbacks

low water pressurefood debris

The water pressure in the shower was unacceptable. It made showering difficult and unsatisfying. the cleanliness during breakfast could be improved. There was food debris on the carpets. The restaurant closes relatively early at 8 pm, this allows sufficient time to vacuum.
