Aynsome Manor Park lies a short mile from the beautiful village of Cartmel. Located on the Cartmel Peninsular, surrounded by rolling hills that tumble down to the coast, the village is picture perfect, with ancient buildings, an impressive medieval priory, a towering arch and a sweet, clear river all centered on the village square, along with a selection of fine pubs and restaurants. Drakes Cottage is one of three adjoining cottages that flank a small shared courtyard. These properties were the former stables and coach houses to the old manor house. The courtyard is sunny and sheltered and ideal for a quiet drink or morning coffee. The park comprises acres of parkland surrounding the old mill pond which is abundant with wildlife. The River Eea runs into the pond and eventually flows through Cartmel village. Privately owned lodges surround the pond, and are separate from the main buildings but the picturesque park grounds are available to guests to take en evening stroll or feed the ducks near the stone bridge. There is also an orchard which is available for games or exercising your dog.
