KENDAL

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, which contains 18th Century paintings and sculptures, including landscapes by Turner and Ruskin, or explore Levens Hall, an Elizabethan mansion built around a 13th Century tower, whose world famous Topiary gardens were laid out in 1694 and remain mostly unchanged to this day. Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life are also interesting destinations for a visit, while Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With Lake Windermere and the rest of the National Park attractions in easy reach, Kendal is a superb base for a relaxing break.

A wonderful find. We were made to feel very welcome and the extra touches made our short break extremely comfortable. We will be booking this one again! Lovely woodland area behind the property which children would love. The use of the hotel grounds was an added bonus.

We just love the lake district! The house was very cosy and roomy. Lots of wildlife outside.

A high quality of decor and provisions at the cottage - little extras provided such as fruit and milk, tissues and almost everything you could possibly need besides.
Mr Critchley, Gloucester, Gloucestershire

There was everything you needed and a little bit more. The rooms were large and very spacious and it was home from home. Very child friendly. Couldn't have asked for more.
Mrs Griffin, Oakham, Rutland

The property was very clean and to a high standard, very child friendly and a lovely base for the Lakes and Lancashire. Would definitely stay there again.

Good central location for exploring the Southern Lakes, it is a beautifully equipped cottage. Very warm and comfortable, can't wait to go back!
Mr Fox, Wirral, Merseyside

I loved the fact that there was fresh milk in the fridge when we got there. Fresh fruit in the fruit bowl and fresh cut flowers. My parents were out on holiday from south Africa, they found the cottage a complete luxury and enjoyed their stay. All round this cottage should be put on your highest rating, as I could not possibly think of a single thing you could do to improve it. The owners thought of everything!
