    We liked how clean, comfortable and the secluded location was. Beautiful surroundings , warm and cosy as described, beds , linen and bathroom shower was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all the things we needed to self cater, including the air fryer. We would recommend this to all friends and relatives, we are hoping to rent this property again in the near future. Not far to drive to the lakes and shopping retail park. recommended with 5 stars.

    If you want to be in central Kendal with a parking space then this is the place. Absolutely 5 stars for this location, tucked away beside Booths (a favourite place to shop) and with a level walk to the main street with all its pubs, restaurants and shops. There are plenty of rural walks from the town (although it is all uphill to start with...) with some fabulous views of this area at the edge of the Lakes. The railway station is also a level walk of about ten minutes.

    Suite was nice - clean, comfy bed, nice bathroom. Limited offering, particularly for a suite in terms of refreshments, water, snacks etc. Most luxury hotels would provide complimentary fizz, particularly at the price point paid. Similarly, very limited offering in terms of toiletries which I recall was a strong sell on the suite description - we got a miniature bottle of shower gel for 2 nights for 2 people. Beautiful bath in the room - no bubble bath or bath salts. Felt like a poor offering for a luxury suite at the price point.

    A beautiful light room. The breakfast was top class, and nothing was too much trouble. My tea was obviously top quality and my poached eggs cooked to perfection. Room was immaculately clean and a huge shower, there were lots of free toiletries. Bed was so comfortable I didn't want to get up and the linen top quality. TV was great with lots of extra channels to watch... Oh and fresh bottled sparkling and still water available every day.
