Guest reviews
Reviews for the cottage are positive. One visitor said: "It has such a welcoming and cosy atmosphere with so many cute little details and arty touches. We felt well looked after by the lovely Angela! We spent our evenings reading in the afternoon sun in the little front garden surrounded by flowers and friendly neighbours (and their dogs), or listening to their fabulous record collection while cooking dinner. We would definitely stay here again!"
A second reviewer noted: "Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, everything has been thought of to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Complimentary local tea, coffee and gorgeous toiletries. Very comfortable bed. Great location for exploring the lakes. Kendal is a lovely town to explore and everything locally within walking distance. We thoroughly recommend it and would definitely return. Thank you."
A third visitor added: "Just perfect, lovely cottage, great location and excellent facilities." A fourth said: "It had everything we needed and more. Its location was ideal for a short walk into Kendal town centre, where there were ample shops, restaurants and pubs. The bed and bedding were gorgeously comfortable. The cottage was as warm and welcoming as the host Andrea who was very friendly and helpful. We will be coming back here. 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed." At the time of writing, there are no negative reviews online.
