Windermere 8 miles.
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.

The Brewery Arts Centre, and Abbot Hall and Museum are just 300 yards away, whilst pleasant walks along the River Kent, which flows through the town to the castle offering panoramic views of the town and Lakeland hills, are not to be missed.

The location was great, very friendly locals that were happy to point out places to go. The few extras supplied by the cottage owner was really helpful. A very nice cottage, thanks again!

Location in Kendal and the parking. The personal touches left at the house were very nice e.g. flowers, milk, bread, tea and coffee. Lovely and kind.
Mr Kibler, Nuneaton, August 2011
We really enjoyed our stay in Wood Cottage - it was an ideal base for exploring the Lakes and North Yorkshire.
The cottage was a good size for two people and quiet, whilst still being close to all the necessary amenities in Kendal town.
