The Carthouse at The Green Cumbria

Five of us travelled to The Green by train from the south and east of England for our annual walking reunion. We loved The Carthouse which is very well equipped with the added bonus of daily garden visits by the red squirrels. It is an ideal base for walking straight from the door into the nearby Paradise Tarn, along to Smarden Viaduct and up Green Bell. We walked to the local pubs and organised a taxi from Kirkby Stephen and a supermarket food delivery. We wish we could have stayed longer!

I recently booked all 3 properties at The Green for my 50th birthday. The standard of all them is off the charts. I’ve stayed in plenty of holiday lets, but the thought that has gone into equipping these is next level. Could not have wanted more and were even given a lift to the station when taxis proved to be an issue.

After months of looking, we stumbled across The Green Cumbria, despite it being further out from the Lakes than others we considered, we hit the jackpot! The location is perfect - it gave us the option of visiting the Lakes and the Dales. It was impeccably clean and every detail has been carefully thought through. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the beds are heavenly - so unbelievably comfortable. Our stay was truly a 5 star experience and every need was met on our 3 generational vacation. Thank you Carly and Richard for sharing this slice of Cumbrian paradise.

The Carthouse is a first-class, modern and immaculate cottage in an exceptional part of the wild dales and a perfect place to explore the Lake District, Eden Valley and the dales. The owners have thought of every need and comfort for their guests – it is 5 star.

The Carthouse really is a first class property. It was the perfect location for a relaxing week with family. Richard and Carly have done an amazing job in making it a home from home. Carly responded quickly when our arrival was delayed and ensured that we arrived to a warm and welcoming refuge from an eventful journey. The property is spacious, extremely well-equipped with comfortable beds and the added treat of a welcome box filled with local produce. If you love walking, nature and dark skies then this is the place for you. We saw red squirrels every day and at least 18 bird species.
