About this property
A charming second floor cottage, a short walk from the centre of the bustling Cumbrian market town of Kendal. Located in Yard 23, this quaint cottage apartment provides spacious accommodation with a large dining/kitchen area with beams, together with a sitting room with original stone features. This Kendal apartment has three bedrooms and a lovely bathroom which is perfect for relaxing in at the end of the day. Kendal is a thriving market town with many fine restaurants and cafes located down "Yards" - small narrow alleyways which branch off from the main streets. A traditional market is held twice a week in the square and a farmers' market is held on the last Friday of each month, a perfect opportunity to sample some of the delights produced in the area. The Brewery Arts Centre regularly hosts specialist exhibitions including the Mountain Film Festival in November and Mintfest, Kendal's International Festival of Street Art, which runs at the end of August each year. With the Lake District on your doorstep, this Kendal cottage offers a superb base to explore the spectacular mountains and lakes returning to enjoy the fabulous amenities in this "auld grey town".
Kendal is set on the banks of the River Kent offering old cobbled lanes and byways, ruins of a 12th Century castle, The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, shops and pubs. Close by is Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, plus there are walking routes in the area.

We had a nice stay. I found it a bit noisy, traffic noise, but I live in the country where a bird tweeting makes you jump. 2 sets of stairs to property, may be a strain for some, but they are not awkward. We had a couple of problems with door lock and light switch, but told the owner and I expect he will rectify. Parking is a bit tight, but I found it ok, VW Golf. Its definately worth having. The question is, would i stay again? Answer yes. :-)

The flat was clean and had all the facilities we needed. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make it feel a bit more homely. Everywhere else I have stayed have provided tea and coffee and sometimes a pint of milk, so that visitors can make a cuppa when they arrive. Some local information would also be useful.
