Great place. Very clean. Let down by 2 things. Bathroom in attic and lack of parking. Very expensive for 5 nights.

This smart, clean and well furnished property was the perfect base for our trip to Kendal and the south lakes. It really is very central with nearby cheap parking, Great pub and cafes just next door and close to all the shops and pleasant local walks. Everything was as described, with lovely decor and fittings and spacious rooms, all meticulously cleaned. We were very happy here and would highly recommend the host and the well kept property. Thanks for a lovely stay.
