An historic Lakeland town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th Century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.

Previous visitors' comments about The Old Vicarage:
A very well maintained and lovingly cared for property.
Mrs Douglas, Whitby, November 2011
We visited The Old Vicarage for our honeymoon in October 2011. We can't speak highly enough of the standard of the accommodation - everything you could want for on arrival, plus those little things you always forget and have to do without until morning, like milk, tea bags, bottle opener, soap etc. Kendal is beautiful with pubs, great restaurants and shopping just a quick stroll away. Kendal Castle and breathtaking views are right on your doorstep. Handy for trains and buses to local attractions.
Mr Simpson, Dudley, October 2011
Kendal was a lovely Lakeland town but the standard of the accommodation,
made the holiday extra special.
Mrs Johnson -Wood, Mexborough, October 2011
'The Old Vicarage' was perfect for a relaxing break yet minutes away from Kendal town center. We cannot rate highly enough the standard of this property. The owners have taken the utmost care to ensure the comfort of their guests - highly recommended! Thanks to Sykes Cottages too for their professionalism.
