Laik aims to do the Lake District just right. We’re from here and we live locally, so we know every crag, fell, ghyll and ginnel across our beautiful corner of the world. We exist to share a slice of life in The Lakes in the best possible way – holiday homes filled with comfort and character, and a dash of northern hospitality to make sure you’ve got everything you need for a perfect break. While our friendly team at Laik won't be present physically for your check-in, we operate a seamless self check-in process to give you privacy and convenience. Despite not being on site, we are easily reachable via phone or messages. Whether you have a query or need assistance, we're here to ensure your stay is smooth and enjoyable.

Discover your private hideaway at Ellenboro House – a self-contained apartment, tucked away in its own building within the grounds of a charming home in the hamlet of Newton-in-Cartmel. Perfect for couples seeking a tranquil escape with all the comforts. Step inside to find a generous open-plan bedroom/living space featuring a comfortable king-size bed, log burner for cosy evenings and Smart TV. A well-equipped kitchenette (microwave/combination oven, hob, air-fryer, toaster, kettle) gives you flexibility, while your private outdoor seating area and off-road parking mean you’re free to come and go as you please. Location matters: you’ll be immersed in calm countryside with views over garden and fells, yet you’re within easy reach of the Lake District’s most appealing spots. While the apartment is just minutes from the village of Cartmel, it’s also a short drive to the shores of Windermere and the vibrant lakeside town of Bowness‑on‑Windermere – making day-trips effortless. From here you can board lake cruises, explore woodland strolls, or simply soak up the water- views and fresh air. Nearby highlights you’ll love - Visit Holker Hall & Gardens: a historic country house set in picturesque surroundings – an elegant destination for a relaxed afternoon. - Explore Sizergh Castle, a fortified manor house with beautiful gardens, offering a quieter alternative to the more-crowded lakefront areas. - Head for the coast: the gentle shoreline of Grange-over-Sands is nearby, ideal for a breezy walk or peaceful picnic. - For train and boat fun: ride the heritage line at Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway and hop on a cruise from the end of Windermere. - Fantastic walking and cycling starts right from your door. The South Lakes provide a gentler, less-crowded experience of the national park while still delivering spectacular views.

Tucked away in the south of the Lakes, Cartmel and Low Newton offer a slower pace and plenty of character. Cartmel’s famous for its food scene—home to top-notch pubs, artisan producers, and even a Michelin-starred restaurant—while Low Newton is a peaceful little village surrounded by rolling countryside and quiet lanes. Great for mooching, market days, and coastal walks just beyond the fells.
