Has a lot of the things that rental properties often miss (soft/relaxing lighting, well-equipped kitchen etc.) which make it a lovely place to stay. Walkable to Kendal centre and the housekeeping were lovely too. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Richard
Only point is you use rear of house as main enterence. The area needs sorting as is muddy, which is not good for footwear,, house and car. Does have gravel which is virtually non existent.
Sarah
Fab kitchen with all you need to prepare good food. Very comfortable lounge with Smart TV, books & games (in the unlikely event of boredom). The accompanying info book is very clear including rated restaurants locally. The parking space will fit one MPC and a small car. We totally recommend this holiday let. We really enjoyed the week.
