A unique and fantastic property in walking distance of everything in the charming village of Cartmel. A great place to relax and a great place to explore the Southern Lakes from. We loved it!

Fabulous

Morning husband and I had a fabulous stay here. We were just around the corner from the centre of Cartmel, it’s a really pretty village. We had breakfast at Cartmel Square which was a great start to the day. Rachel was so lovely and welcoming and always answered any questions quickly.

Great location, high spec, modern conversion.

We had a great stay at the shed. Rachael was there to greet us as we arrived and had provided me will all the info I required for the stay. The shed is in a great location and is nice and peaceful at night. It is literally 50m to the corner shop. Everything in the shed is high spec and has a great modern decor. There are plenty of windows to let fresh air in and thermal controlled underfloor heating. Even remote control blinds. Thanks Racheal.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Holcroft

I am Rachel and the owner of The Old Roller Shed. I have grown up in this beautiful and historic village. The village has changed a lot since and is such a great place to live and visit. I hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

When I was a girl, we knew the building on The Causeway as the council depot. Cumbria County Council used it to store the Council wagon, and more memorably, the snow plough. Previously it had housed the Steam Roller. In the UK, a number of companies owned fleets of steam rollers and contracted them out to local authorities. Many were still in use into the 1960s and a few were still being used for road maintenance in the early 1970s. Unfortunately I have been unable to find much information about our Roller Shed but by the early 80’s the Steam Roller had ceased operations.
My husband and I were lucky enough to purchase the “Shed” in 2010 with all the intentions of using it for storage but as the building started to decay, we decided we had to bring it back to life!
I hope you will agree that a unique and modern transformation has taken place whilst retaining the charm of the old building.

Welcome to The Old Roller Shed!

What makes this property unique

The Old Roller Shed is such a beautiful space. I have tried to keep it all quite modern and light so you can appreciate this unusual building but still find it quite cosy for those romantic nights away from home.
