Karen
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.

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. Iâd definitely stay again.
