  • "A lovely 2 bedroom apartment close to all amenities however we did have trouble finding where the apartment was located as we were not familiar with the area."

    Two kind local people helped us to locate it.The kitchen facilities were good so that we could easily make meals when we didn't want to eat out every night. Comfortable sofa and chairs and a great large tv with streaming channels which was a bonus. The beds were comfortable also although we are used to having a king size bed but as there was 2 bedrooms with double beds this was not a problem! Loved the decor of the bathroom with the walk in rain shower. All in all we had a lovely stay while visiting Kendal which has a lot to offer in relation to shopping, eating out and good transport bus links to visit other towns in the Lake District area.

    Thank you for your brilliant feedback and comments. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us at River Walk. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner

    A good base for visiting the towns in the lake district,because of the good bus service, Maybe the owner could get another shower mat as getting out of the shower was a bit slippy,apart from that it was a great shower and stay.

    They loved the apartment. It was tastefully furnished, warm and cosy, with everything you would need away from home, and lots of choices for eating out, and entertainment, within an easy stroll. I requested a baby cot and highchair, and these were in the apartment on arrival. Gaby even put up a christmas tree for us. Correspondence with the owners was easy and very pleasant. I would highly recommend this holiday apartment, and I would definitely look to book here again in the future. Thanks Gaby. You are a super-host.

  • "Accommodation was very comfortable and tastefully decorated."

    Was near to shops and ideal location for visiting the Lake District. For our personal circumstances it did not work as well as we would have liked. Flat was fairly small and there was limited space to dry laundry. There was no airer apart from a small pull out unit in the bathroom. Bathroom floor was very slippery when wet, and there were no hand towels. Hanging space was limited with no wardrobes just a couple of rails and drawers. If you expect to do washing and have wet, muddy clothes, rucksacks etc., as nice as the flat is, this may not be the right holiday let for you. Allocated parking space caused a few problems as we had a larger car.

    Thank you for your feedback. We believe all of the photos on the website help give an overview of the size of the flat and I’m sorry it didn’t fulfill your needs.Gaby Property Owner

    The only slight drawback was there were no wardrobes in either bedroom only coat hangers on hooks. This did not prove a problem and I managed the situation. Everything else about the bedrooms was luxurious and obviously to achieve that wardrobes would not fit but the rooms were of a good size, I did contact the owner about a couple of minor points and she was extremely helpful and pleasant.

The property

Tucked away in the historic town of Kendal, Cumbria, is this wonderful first-floor apartment, River Walk.

Enjoying a superb location on the outskirts of the Lake District National Park, and just moments away from the local amenities and River Kent, River Walk is a fantastic choice for couples or a family of four.

Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you can cook up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen, ready to savour a delicious meal at the dining table for four over a bottle of wine.

After dinner, retreat to the sumptuous seating, where you can kick-back and relax in front of a much-loved show on the Smart TV.

Continue through to find a contemporary shower room, where you can wash away the day’s adventures, before retreating to one of two well-appointed double bedrooms, one of which has a TV.

Explore the town, where you can enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Kent, visit the historic Kendal Castle affording exceptional views out towards the Lakeland fells, tour Kendal Museum, spend a fun-filled afternoon at Kendal Snowsports Club, wander the Quaker Tapestry Museum, test out your swing at the excellent Kendal Golf Club, or treat your loved ones to a meal at Sapore, Bangkok 7 Thai, and Farmhouse Kitchen.

Venture into the Lake District National Park to find Windermere, where you can try your hand at a plethora of watersports on the famous lake, soak up the views from Queen Adelaide’s Hill and Orrest Head, visit the popular World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or head to the neighbouring Bowness-on-Windermere, where the foodies of your group can enjoy the Michelin Star delights of HRiSHi, Gilpin Spice and Henrock.

Further afield, you will find Ambleside, home to the stunning Stock Ghyll Force and a 2nd-century Roman Fort, and Grasmere, where you’ll find the former residence of William Wordsworth.

All this and more awaits at River Walk.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
