  We had a wonderful stay in Kendal.

  We booked last minute and I hoped that the listing details would be as good as they sounded - and they absolutely were. The apartment was so welcoming, comfortable and filled with fittings and furnishings that showed that the property is loved and cared for and the finer details have been carefully considered throughout. It’s so nice to come somewhere that has lovely crockery, cutlery and most importantly good mugs!! The apartment was spotless from top to bottom. Kendal is the perfect base to explore the lakes from. We certainly made the most of our National Trust membership and tagged in plenty of other adventures along the way. Although the property doesn’t have a designated parking space, this was never a problem. The 3 day parking permit which can be bought so easily from the machines, is such a good initiative by the local council. If you are visiting, this is a definite must do! The weather was hot when we first arrived so we had to have the windows open at night to start with, there was some noise from the high street into the night but it wasn’t the end of the world. When the windows were shut there was none! Some lovely places to eat and drink in Kendal. The welcome book was a great help to get us started and we wandered and found even more. I would certainly return to the property and recommended to family and friends when we got home. A much needed, enjoyable break, was underpinned by the superb space at Helton Fell. Thank you!

  This is a single room studio apartment with a small kitchen, a double bed and a 3 seater sofa.

  The kitchen was very well stocked with high quality wares and the bathroom with dedicated shower was also of a good standard. But, space is quite limited particularly if you decide to stay for a week. The single-room space is tightly packed with the above facilities leaving no free space to even stretch or do yoga in the mornings. Smoke alarm is sited in the low ceiling close to the cooker which frightened us but fortunately we didn't set off the alarm with our limited cooking! Activity in the upstairs flat can sound booming sometimes due to low ceiling. Lack of on-site parking is definitely an issue as spaces may not always be available in the three designated car parks for the long-stay permit issued. We felt a space for the studio could have been carved out of the three/four car parking bay that adjacent prospect house guests have. All this said, the studio is well situated, generously kitted out and well maintained, worth considering

  Overall a great stay.

  The apartment was a relatively new conversion and was well thought out and really clean. The apartment had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. It was surprisingly spacious and gave everyone plenty of space. We only used the kitchen once to cook a pizza but it did seem well equipped for anyone who wanted to do more. The washer/dryer is in a utility room on the floor below and was useful after a wet day out. Located right in the centre of Kendal (above a bank), so no parking, but we used the local council car park which was free between 1730 and 0830, from there less than two mins walk to the accommodation. For electric car drivers there’s approx. four chargers on this car park with are free to use, you just need your own cable. One of the best holiday accommodations we’ve booked so would happily stay again. :-)

  We had a great stay and the unexpected snowfall made it really magical.

  A couple of things that we would like to raise. The outside lighting to the patio and steps were faulty and were flickering intermittently which lead to us walking into a patio planter on our way back into the property. Shelf required in shower for shower and hair wash.Body and hand wash provided (1) had to be kept moved from shower to basin. Wine glasses very fragile glass and cracked both of them whilst drying (replaced them with more durable ones but not as elegant). Been to Prospect cottage 3 times in past 2 years, a great place to stay, great facilities, very comfortable bed and a great studio overall. The Golden Rule pub 110 yards down the hill is fantastic, real fires with great ales and wine and lovely atmosphere and crowded mostly with walkers/hikers like us. Well done for great accommodation.

  Prospect Cottage Studio really did deliver to its description within its marketing material.

  The studio was well laid out and although compact was really spacious and ideal for our needs for two people.No pets and no children under five meant that the property was fresh and clean and had a quite distinct newness about it.The location was great, away from the main streets of the town of Ambleside but close enough and within easy reach of all amenities. The Golden Rule pub was just a couple of hundred yards away from the studio down the hill which must be the best one in Ambleside with a great selection of hand pulled beer, lagers and choice of wines.Great pork pies. The studio was a great base for numerous walks and within easy reach of buses at super regular intervals. All in all a great stay and would recommend to any couple looking for that extra special hideaway. Derek and Jane.
