Luxury Kendal and Lakes Gateway Cottage

"Nice enough cottage, well located, comfortable bed but sofa too large for room and not comfy. Kitchen cramped, tripping over when chairs in use. Stairs very steep and struggle to use. Front door doesn't open fully. Toilet seat loose. Plenty equipment. Could do with a revamp . Getting parked near was very difficult."

"Rear yard cobbles - covered in green moss type plant, table set near bins, empty plant pots and an overgrown tree blocks any sunlight. No way could you relax there. Entry to house grim, needs painting. All woodwork in house badly chipped and grubby, except bathroom. Living room furniture is far too large, leaving at most a 12 inch walkway around it. Worst room is the Kitchen. Huge fridge freezer takes up all space. Dining table and chairs siting is dangerous, being 6 inch’s from the cooker. There is no way that 4 people could be comfortable in this house. You cannot shower without wetting the floor - there’s no curtain. The bath is tiny with no grab rail or hand hold on one side. It’s really difficult to get of! Towels and bedding are well worn and faded. I accept that style is entirely subjective and therefore make no comment. The house was very clean."

"Great place and ideal for local visitors - wifi a bit hit and miss but that in the general area"

"The cottage occupies a great location in this tourist friendly town. The beds were uncomfortable and the linen and towels had seen better days. The oak tree in the garden needs shaping to allow the sunlight to enter it is also infested with ants which made sitting out uncomfortable."

"Tiny. No WiFi. No parking. But once you’ve found somewhere for the car, bought a hotspot and are installed it’s pretty cosy and convenient."

"Great location just a few minutes walk from the river and centre of Kendal. Round the corner from train station. Lovely little cottage but bit small for a family of 4. Bedrooms are good size but living room/kitchen is a squeeze for more than 2/3 people. Lots of kitchen equipment, utensils etc as well as a washing machine. Smaller fridge would be adequate. Very warm and hardly needed heating/fire on. Little patio area but not secure and my dog ended up next door a few times. Luckily the neighbours were fine. Parking is an issue when arriving/departing carrying cases/bags etc as nothing outside the cottage and had to park a street or 2 away."

"really good cannot fault it"

"Small cottage, good location, parking a slight inconvenience."

"For January the cottage was very cosy and warm with the heating set at just the right temperature which made for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The cottage was extremely clean and was fairly well equipped, even an undercover washing line which proved useful in the rain. The town, corner shop, museum etc were all in walking distance too. There was no noise from the road at all. The only noise was on the Saturday night from the pub across the road from the front bedroom and a goose over the wall from the back bedroom. The only criticism was that there was no WiFi but the pub had free WiFi that could be used."

"A nice terraced house opposite the pub, local shops, restaurants etc within 5 min walk. Lacking in character and charm inside the cottage, furniture which is too large,too modern and not as cosy as expected. The kitchen is well equipped again with furniture which is too large making it difficult to get to the oven, an enormous fridge freezer which is again too big for the room. The biggest thing missing is a shower, or even a hook for the shower handle over the bath . The bed was nice and comfy, and the house nice and warm even as it was very cold outside with lots of snow."
