Exceptional stay! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly friendly and responsive. The rooms are immaculately clean, cozy, and have a charming, nostalgic feel that reminded me of childhood. The location is perfect for anyone traveling the NC500, offering a convenient base for exploring the area. The atmosphere truly feels like a home away from home, making it a comforting and relaxing place to stay. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Wonderful place, courtesy of Sammy and David ! We arrived, a little weary after motorcycling from the north of Skye through Applecross, and received a very warm welcome. Cosy, comfy beds, delicious breakfast, and short walking distance to the pub/hotel for first-rate dinner. Definitely a place for future visits, whether my motorbike or not!And if you're into model railways, David is your man. He has a fantastic collection, and is a font of knowledge about the model trains (and trams and buses) those of us of a certain age grew up with!Thanks again for everything, Sammy and David -- loved it. -- John Kerr and Tony Raymond

Most welcoming and friendly hosts. Highly recommended. Four of us stayed for one night as part of our NC500 cycling trip. Homemade dinner and breakfast were prepared for us, and we could also wash and dry our clothes after a very wet day in the Highlands.

So glad we found Cartmel guest house , after a long drive it was great to be welcomed by such lovely hosts ,the room was a great size ,exceptionally clean and the bunk beds were larger than I thought they would be and were very comfortable, there was also a working tv ,sofa and table with tea,coffee and electric kettle ,we were happily surprised and delighted to be given some beautiful home made cake which went down a treat . The shower room was spotless with good water pressure and shower gel /shampoo etc . Situated a very short walk to the loch which was a fabulous spot to watch sunset. An exceptional breakfast with delicious sausages and extremely tasty fresh eggs from the hosts own chickens and a Caffittiere of coffee was brought to the room on a trolly at the time we requested . After buying some Duck eggs and lovely gloves ( which i thankfully didn't need on this trip) from the hosts craft stall we then took up their recommendation to visit Mellon Udrigal beach which was absolutely gorgeous. All in all this was a great place in a great spot with fab hosts, Thank you very much 👌

We enjoyed our 2-night stay here, and were well looked after by the very kind hosts. The room and bathroom were good, everything worked (except that the TV had no cable to receive channels, could only play DVDs). The bunk beds were very comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent.
