Old Watermill

Old Watermill is a magnificent 17th-century water mill located in the picturesque village of Allithwaite, Cumbria, just 2 miles from Cartmel. Originally constructed in the 1600s, this historic watermill was once a bustling center of activity, grinding grains to the soothing sound of cascading water. Today, it has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning holiday home perfect for families, friends, and couples seeking to explore the surrounding area. As you enter the open-plan living space, you are greeted by a beautifully designed triple-aspect room featuring high ceilings and a spacious social area. The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for home-cooking, complete with a breakfast bar, double electric oven, hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a convenient washing machine.

Upstairs, you will find the inviting bedrooms, including a master king-size bedroom with a Jack & Jill en-suite shower, a double bedroom with an en-suite, and an adult bunk room. Each room is elegantly decorated in neutral tones, providing a restful retreat. The contemporary family shower room offers a stylish space to freshen up after a day of exploration. Step outside to the patio garden and soak in the tranquil surroundings, perfect for reflecting on the day's adventures or savoring a morning coffee.
