My husband treated me for my birthday. We were in Room 9 (the art deco suite) in the house overlooking the square. It was fabulous! Great views, lovely comfortable bed, beautiful wet room. The food at L'Enclume was absolutely fantastic and the service was unbelievable. Worth every penny. The breakfast the following day was wonderful. Cant think of enough good... More

The village of Cartmel is beautiful and dinner at L'Enclume was a real treat however we were disappointed with the Garden room (number 7). The restaurant does make a point of stating that they are a restaurant with rooms, not a hotel, however, for the prices they charge, I have to say we expected something better. For 210 a night...

Let me start with the good news; if you are going to l'enclume for the food then you are in for a real treat. Simon Rogan is a magician in the kitchen. The food was amazing, the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and it was a fantastic experience. Unfortunately that’s were it ends. What was meant to be a special birthday... More

Birthday ..... Husband and daughter decided to take me for Sunday lunch ..... flavours amazing, food beautiful, delicious ....... but tiny tiny portions - I had to go home and cook a second sunday lunch for hungry family!

Crikey-what a disappointment with our room, number 4. So tatty and tired. One of the chairs had a cigarette burn on the seat and the room was very dirty. The windows obviously hadn't been cleaned for a long time. The bathroom was very basic, the walls and rollerblind had black mould on them and the shampoo and toiletries were attached... More

We stayed for one night purely as we wanted to try the food at L'Enclume. If I had read the reviews on here about room 5 and it being "The Dog Room" I would have insisted on another! Given the amount you pay the small touches were missing and the place felt shabby, old and cheap - there was not... More

Really smashing food. But on arrival, and seeing our room, which I had booked for a birthday treat for my husband, I felt embarrassed, having realised I had spent so much money on what looked like a tired b&b room. Reported issues to reception lady on deparrture, calmly, but I felt I didn't receive a real apology for a lack... More

I stayed in Room 8 - the suite on the village square in Cartmel. Really enjoyed it. Room decorated to a high standard with two couches, big bed, walk in shower and big deep bath. Only issue with the room was there was no dedicated dressing table , which would have been nice and the hairdryer was rather small -... More

this was a special treat from my husband and it was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing, but dissapointment on other issues marred what could have been an even better experience. Hope staff will take the criticisms on board and resolve? Kept waiting far too long before meal started. forty minutes from entering the door to being served... More
