Cosy 2 Bedroom Flat in Lake District is set in Kendal, 36 km from Trough of Bowland, 38 km from Askham Hall, as well as 50 km from Derwentwater. The property is non-smoking and is situated 16 km from World of Beatrix Potter.

The property is newly renovated and is very fresh, quiet, bright and clean. Literal steps to anything in Kendal town centre - the location is ideal for exploring the town. Note that the flat is in the middle of a pedestrian-only precinct, so there is no adjacent parking. We had small issues with taxi pick-ups as there is no direct car access to the flat. On the whole, we felt this was an advantage, as it made for a very quiet, peaceful environment. Absolutely loved the flat entrance with the “shambles-esque” alleyway. Could not be more central, we walked everywhere in town in under 10 minutes. Bedrooms and common area were comfortable and bright.

    The staff were so friendly, we felt very welcome and at ease. They were always happy to help. The location is convenient (south or northbound), and for a little extra you can overlook the lake and surrounding countryside. Quiet place. Nice clean (although slightly damp) bedding and fresh towels. It was very cheap, so good on a budget.
