Uplands Inn Cartmel

Great location, great host and great breakfasts. We will definitely be returning

Cleanliness, appearance

Lovely hotel staff really friendly

Every was lovely, dog friendly

Beautiful location and within walking distance of Cartmel village and Grange and other places of interest further afield.
All the staff were welcoming and friendly, nothing too much trouble.
Our room was a good size with a bath and shower in our en-suite!
The food, we had breakfast and an evening meal, was delicious, with a varied menu.

Didn’t stay here so don’t know much about the rooms.

We went for a meal after our registry office wedding. The staff were wonderful, as usual, and the food was lovely, even accommodating the more fussy eaters amongst us.

The setting was perfect for pictures - only the weather let us down.

Thanks Sue and the team for helping to make our big day special! J&D

We recently stayed at the Uplands Hotel in Cartmel. The location is excellent, just a short distance from the village, and the free parking was a real bonus.

Unfortunately, the experience on arrival wasn’t the warm welcome you’d hope for. Check-in felt very rushed — it seemed more about taking payment and getting us to the room as quickly as possible. It was probably the fastest hotel arrival experience we’ve ever had, and not in a good way.

I had rang earlier in the week to make payment for the room as it was a surprise, and a meal with Simon Rogan in the local village. The person I spoke to couldn’t use the machine and a call would be made to me, that never happened and when we arrived the money owed was announced loudly, like I’ve never experienced in any bed and breakfast- again highlighted that our arrival didn’t fit in their agenda for the day.

It soon became clear why, as a large private party arrived shortly afterwards and completely took over the hotel and gardens. Guests not connected to the event were left feeling like an inconvenience, and there was nowhere comfortable to sit and relax. We genuinely couldn’t work out whether it was a celebration or a funeral gathering, so we decided to head out for the day instead.

To be fair, the rest of the staff we encountered were pleasant and friendly, but the overall atmosphere didn’t feel particularly welcoming for guests. Breakfast was basic but complimentary when booking direct so was not expecting a lavish affair.

Cartmel itself is lovely, and we’d definitely return to the area, although next time we would likely choose to stay in the village itself or book a more traditional hotel experience.

It was lovely and quiet

Lovely location and very friendly and welcoming staff. Lovely rooms and very nice food and everyone is very dog friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

Friendly owners, gave us a lift to L’Enclume

A wonderful, family run little Inn, in an old, historic building, in the beautiful setting of Cartmel, Cumbria,

We arrived to a very friendly welcome from the staff who booked us in and took us to our room, helping us with our luggage. A great start! They had upgraded us to a larger room with a huge bed without us asking - simply because it was available! It was a very pleasant surprise.

The first evening, we were the only guests staying and the family took time to spend with us in the lounge area, chatting away about all manor of things. It was lovely and we almost felt part of the family.

The food throughout our stay (dinner and breakfast) was very good indeed - hot, tasty with portion sizes being more than enough (good for me - I love my food!!) An impressive, substantial selection of drinks was available at the bar too.

The room we had, had a stunning view as we discovered on the Sunday morning when drawing our curtains back.

A place you must certainly consider to stay if visiting the area. Thank you.
