About Masons Arms

Masons Arms suits travellers who want their Lake District base to double as a proper pub, not just somewhere to sleep. Set on Strawberry Bank in Cartmel Fell, it works well for walkers, families and dog owners who fancy a night out on foot followed by dinner and a pint downstairs, rather than driving to find one.

There are seven rooms, all en suite, including family rooms for those travelling with children, and drinks can be brought straight to your room if you'd rather not head down to the bar. The restaurant serves food alongside a proper pub bar, with kids' meals and packed lunches available for anyone heading out for the day, and breakfast included to set you up for it. Outdoor seating and a garden give extra space to sit out, while free WiFi, 24 hour reception and free on-site parking cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, and childcare can be arranged for parents wanting an evening to themselves.

The surrounding area is built for walking and cycling, with routes leading out from the fell and the wider Cartmel area close by for a change of scene. A pub, restaurant and eatery nearby give further options beyond the hotel itself, and watersports in the area suit anyone wanting to get out onto the water as well as onto the hills.
