ARRIVING BY CAR: Take the M6 to junction 36 then turn onto the A590 to Barrow-in-Furness. Stay on this road for about 15 miles, through Newby Bridge and about 4/5 miles on from there, turn right to Greenodd, Workington and Coniston on the A5092. Follow this road for about 5/6 miles up a very steep hill through Gawthwaite and down the other side.
Continue down the hill, all the way to the bottom, and then take a right turning for Woodland (this will be the second turning for woodland that you will see). Before you have straightened your wheel, turn immediately right again and go straight for about half a mile. At the top of the lane you will come up to some farm buildings, as the road turns to the right, Keepers Cottage is on the right and The Cart House is straight ahead.
We are 30/35 mins from the motorway junction. Any problems please ring 01229 889888.
ARRIVING BY AIR: From Liverpool Airport it is about 2 hours drive up the M6 or from Manchester Airport about 1 1/2 hours.

We have stayed at Ashlack Cottages 3 times now and would return at the drop of a hat for another holiday. We stayed once in the Keepers Cottage and twice in the Cart House and would easily recommend... more |

The Cart House was a quirky conversion, charming and perfectly situated for touring the area. It was clean, well equipped and in a beautiful, tranquil location on a working farm that you feel compelled to go exploring on. The village of Broughton nearby was great for a meal and had a nice butchers/deli. We would definately return. |

My fiance and I stayed in The Cart House for a weekend short break and can't recommend it highly enough. We were hoping for an idyllic retreat, that was dog friendly and in a perfect spot for walking - it certainly ticked all the boxes. The cottage is very comfortable, with a lovely cosy, homely feel - our cocker spaniel felt immediately at home! It is in a fantastic location for walking, surrounded by acres and acres of fields and fells, of which you are welcome to stroll for hours through at your leisure. We did not visit any of the surrounding pubs or shops in the area, as we had the dog in tow, but all seemed within easy driving distance. We are already making plans to return with other members of the family! |
