Welcome to The Cavendish Arms, a village pub located in the heart of Cartmel by the English Lake District. We offer excellent British food using locally sourced produce, as well as a range of beers ales including our speciality beer brewed here in Cartmel. With friendly, relaxed service you can sit, relax and enjoy your visit either by our log fire indoors or outdoors in our riverside, church view courtyard. At the Cavendish we have 13 rooms available, with 10 rooms above the pub and 3 rooms located above the wonderful shop, 'Perfect English' just a 30 second walk away through the beautiful village. The Perfect English rooms are our luxury large rooms restored to an exceptionally high standard and retain much of the character of the original building with oak beamed ceilings. With comfortable rooms, a seasonal all day menu and our selection of ales, wines and cocktails you will find yourself drifting away into Cartmel’s perfectly laid back way of life within no time. As the Cavendish Arms is located so close to the English Lake District, this charming retreat offers the perfect base for keen walkers that like to be out wandering the fells during the day to then come back to a hearty meal by the fire. We of course welcome non residents to pop in for a drink or to dine with us too. To book, please head to our website at: https://www.thecavendisharms.co.uk or call us on: 01539536240

We look forward to hearing from you.

Summer looks good on Cartmel. ☀️✨

Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of the countryside, enjoying a slow breakfast, and stepping right out into one of Cumbrias' most picturesque historic villages.

The Cavendish Arms is designed for proper unwinding. After a day spent exploring the fells or wandering the quiet Cumbrian coastline, you can wander back to a crisp glass of wine by the River Eea, a dinner made from the finest local ingredients, and a boutique room where history meets modern comfort.
