About this property

Resting centrally within Kendal, a market town and bustling area within Cumbria is Kendal Cottage, a characterful three-storey dwelling.

Situated upon the cusp of the Lake District National Park and a short journey away from a host of attractions enveloping the breath-taking Lake Windermere, the cottage offers an ideal base for a self-catered break, welcoming a family of four and their furry companion.

Upon stepping into Kendal Cottage, you will notice it's charming exterior; stepping indoors, be welcomed by the country-style kitchen/diner, housing a woodburning stove, dining table, exposed stone walls, and a whole host of state-of-the-art appliances.

Head outdoors to the rear of the cottage for some fresh air upon the shared lawn, before venturing upstairs to locate the light-flooded first-floor sitting room, where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV. As sleep calls, rest your head in one of two well-presented bedrooms found on the second floor, including a double and a twin, before awakening to either a bath or a shower in the bathroom. Once you're ready to explore, head into Kendal for a delightful stroll alongside River Kent, enjoy a competitive afternoon at Kendal Golf Club or brush up on your local knowledge at the nearby museum. Reaching Windermere, be at one with nature whilst hiking up Fell Foot, tour the Lakes Aquarium, a firm family favourite, take up the opportunity to explore the lake through kayaking or sailing, or expand your artistic interest at Blackwell gallery. Travelling north towards Ambleside, head to the Lake District Ski Club for a thrill-seeking activity, climb the summit of Fairfield Peak, explore Rydal Cave and its underground routes, or enjoy the stunning surroundings of Stock Ghyll Force. Plan your next break with Kendal Cottage as your abode.

Kendal, a charming market town that is renowned as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes, is located on the banks of the River Kent and has a distinguished reputation for shopping. The charming main street is surrounded by charming old cobblestone roads and byways, and the stone ruins of Kendal Castle, which date back to the 12th century, are positioned atop a hill with views of the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, which hosts additional exhibitions thanks to its connections with the Tate and a regular collection that includes portraits by George Romney, a Kendal native, and works by Turner and Ruskin. Nearby are limestone escarpments for easy walking that provide breath-taking views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills, and Morecambe Bay, as well as Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its exceptional Topiary Garden.
