Guests say
Beech Hill in Kendal is a beautifully decorated and well-equipped cottage, praised for its stunning views, cosy atmosphere, and excellent proximity to the town centre and Lake District attractions. Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness, comfort, and convenience, with many returning for multiple stays. While the front terrace is enjoyed, some guests note ongoing issues with the rear garden access and steps. The property is particularly appreciated for its peaceful setting and thoughtful touches, making it a popular choice for families and couples alike.
The majority of reviews describe the property as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well maintained. Only one review mentioned an overflowing external bin, but this was an isolated incident and quickly resolved.
Guests consistently praise the location for its easy access to Kendal town centre, public transport, and the Lake District. The elevated position provides exceptional views, and the proximity to shops and bus routes is frequently highlighted.
The cottage is repeatedly described as warm, cosy, comfortable, and spacious. Guests feel at home and appreciate the peaceful environment, with only minor mentions of accessibility challenges due to steps for less agile visitors.
The house is well equipped with a good kitchen, books, and entertainment. However, several reviews mention ongoing issues with the rear garden access and steps, and occasional maintenance issues (e.g., boiler, shower tray) that were generally resolved quickly.
Some guests mention thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket and a good selection of books and guides. However, as gifts are not mentioned in every review, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.

Me and my friends had a really great time at the property. The location was fantastic with a great view of the local scenery. We also weren't expecting the little gift basket, which was a nice suprise. Would definitely stay again!

Great location, with a well-equipped kitchen for cooking meals in and longer stays. Flexible check-in with lockbox, great views, and fit our family well for sleeping and free time during the day. Great selection of books about the area, maps, guides, etc. which were very helpful in planning our time outside the home. Great experience overall!
