Guests say
Raven House in Kendal is highly praised for its tasteful decoration, pristine condition, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to town and local attractions, as well as its comfortable and stylish interior. While parking can be challenging, the property's charm and amenities, including a thoughtful welcome pack, contribute to a delightful stay.
The property consistently receives accolades for its spotless and well-maintained condition, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests find impressive.
Raven House is commended for its ideal location within easy walking distance to Kendal's centre, castle, shops, and restaurants, making it a convenient base for exploring.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy living area, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms. However, the bathroom's location on the top floor may not be ideal for everyone.
The property is well-equipped with modern amenities and a fully equipped kitchen. Some guests experienced minor issues with heating and hot water, and the parking situation is noted as tricky.
The presence of a welcome pack suggests thoughtfulness, but as gifts are not guaranteed, this should be considered a pleasant addition rather than an expectation.
