About us

Welcome to The Cavendish Arms

The Cavendish Arms is much more than a Lake District hotel. It’s a 450 year old coaching inn, set in the picturesque village of Cartmel, with quaint low beamed ceilings, a wealth of antique furniture and a blazing log fire.

We serve excellent British food using the finest of local produce, wines and traditional beers and ales. With friendly relaxed service and very comfortable rooms you will find yourself drifting away into Cartmel’s perfectly laid back way of life. This charming retreat also has a fine restaurant where you can dine by candlelight.

We now have three more brand new luxury double rooms with en-suite bathrooms in the heart of Cartmel village square above our new design-led gift shop, Perfect English.

All the rooms have been restored to an exceptionally high standard and retain much of the character of the original building with oak beamed ceilings. And if you like a piece of the antique country furniture in the rooms you can buy a piece to take home!

You can relax outside the Cavendish with a chilled drink or speciality coffee and watch the world go by, or sit beside the babbling river Eea.

This is the perfect location to stay for a weekend at Cartmel Races. The area around Cartmel is full of outdoor activities and we are just a stone’s throw away from the seaside and Morecambe Bay, and within easy reach of the central lakes, Coniston Water and Windermere.

Beautiful old pub in the heart of the village. Food is excellent and reasonably priced, while the service is highly competent and friendly. Love it.

Too good to take photos. One of the best pub meals I've ever had. Arguably the best ever gnocchi and sticky toffee pudding (not together). We're only in the area for a few nights... might be back tomorrow!

Really lovely pub in the square with relaxing music and great decor. Quite pricey but seems worth it! Vegan sticky toffee pudding was amazing and service was spot on. More vegan / veggie options would be appreciated.

Popped in for a meal, we hadn't booked but were seated which was very nice of them! The food is decent, very quick and efficient service, and the bavette steak was cooked to perfection. A few vegan options on the menu, too. The pub itself is a beautiful building and has a very relaxed atmosphere inside. Well recommended for anyone staying in Cartmel, or just passing through!

Wonderful Sunday roast. Great service - friendly, helpful and genuine. We booked in advance and loved our lunch - the portions were proper! ‘Kids’ roast was huge, and great value, and all of the food was spot on, cooked perfectly with lovely gravy and trimmings. A must: their own Sticky Toffee Pudding… we ordered one to share between our family of 4, but had to order another because it was just too good! We will visit again for sure next time we’re in the area visiting. We’ll come again for the food, service, ambience and good pub vibes. And the Sticky Toffee Pudding!
