  • "Lovely cottage."

    Ideally situated in Kendal and the parking permit was a bonus. Cottage had everything needed for our stay. It was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The mattresses and pillows on both beds used were very comfortable. The milk and biscuits were appreciated. Only negative was the leather sofa....it was very low and the seating sagged so it was not comfortable at all. In our opinion a replacement is needed.

  • "We really enjoyed our time in this cottage as a base for exploring the Lake District."

    Very well located in the centre of Kendal. It was comfortable and quiet, clean throughout and the parking permit was really useful. Only minor points were no hairdryer or clothes horse despite having a good washing machine. I’d definitely stay again.

    We have stayed before and also enjoyed it. This time we noticed a fair amount of upgrading in furniture and a welcome addition of a stair rail which was a great help for my partner.

  • "Another visit to Entry Lane, Kendal."

    . We really enjoyed our stay. The location of the cottage is perfect for retail therapy, coffee shops/bars and exploring the Lake District. As always, the cottage was spotlessly clean, with comfy beds and everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The parking permit and the welcome pack were very much appreciated! Looking forward to our next visit.

  • "Great communications with the owners Sean & Donna from the start."

    A real gem of a property, centrally located in Kendal and maintained to the highest of standards. The property is Immaculately clean, well maintained with welcoming tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival. The addition of a parking permit by the new owners is a fantastic idea, as previously you had to pay daily to use Booth's car park, which added up over a week. The parking permit also allows you to park free in most of the local towns at selected car parks. Well recommended for anyone wishing to stay in a high quality, fantastically run property within Kendal. 5 stars!

  • "We stayed in this lovely little cottage, in the middle of Kendal town for 3 days in August."

    The cottage has a small living area and a full-equipped kitchen (with little details like biscuits, coffee, tea, a lot of Peter Rabbit books and artefacts) which makes this a lovely cosy cottage for a family of four. There are two bedrooms spread over two floors (a tall house) with two bathrooms and toilets. The beds were freshly washed, clean and was a welcome to tuck into after 8 hours of journey. The place to just a minute's walk from the high street and good to drop into Pizza Express in the evening or the lovely café opposite for a lazy brunch. It is just 15-20 mins drive to Windermere or Ullswater and is a good base for all the activities around Lake District. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this cottage for small families.

    Parking was literally 30 seconds away and free with the pass provided, although you could park briefly right outside to unload / load your car.

Beautiful place to visit and would definitely recommend and we will be returning hopefully to stay again.

    A pretty, traditional cottage in an ideal location for exploring Kendal. Very grateful for the thoughtful gestures such as a fresh carton of milk, teabags and a taste of mint cake! The addition of the parking permit was so greatly received too - a very unique and generous feature. The only thing we struggled with was using the oven. We spent about half an hour trying to warm our croissants. Whilst there was a sticker on the oven, we still struggled with 3D heat etc (?) Perhaps you could add a more clear sticker that specifically says Grill, oven and a quick explanation of which dials to turn? Great communication from the host from the moment of booking until the end of our stay.

About the location

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market 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, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
