We spent a lovely week at Ford House with family to celebrate our son's first birthday. The house is excellent with all the facilities you need for a large group: the kitchen is especially well equipped. The house is perfectly situated in the central square of Cartmel so you don’t need to walk too far for a refreshment - in fact the house is adjacent to both the Kings Arms and Royal Oak pubs, and the Cavendish is just round the corner. A real gem!

Stayed for 3 nights at Ford House celebrating a few friends' 50th birthdays. Fantastic location, spotlessly clean, very well equipped with high spec fittings. We will definitely return.

We had a fantastic 3 night break in Ford House with our friends and dogs. The house is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. The location is perfect, right in the centre of Cartmel surrounded by pubs and restaurants and a few minutes walk from the lovely race course.

We had a fabulous Christmas at Ford House. It's comfortable, warm with all mod cons in a characterful setting and it has an amazingly well equipped kitchen with loads of mugs, glasses, plates etc so with a big group you don't keep running out! Cartmel is a lovely, friendly village with several pubs and restaurants and some great shops and there are super country walks straight from the house. Our host Judy could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended
