Guests say
Aryelle House in Kendal is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, stylish decor, and the thoughtful touches provided for a pleasant stay. While there are some minor concerns regarding plumbing and parking, the overall experience is deemed excellent, with many guests recommending the property and expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently note the property as spotlessly clean, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay. One minor complaint about the provision of toilet rolls does not significantly detract from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as great, with easy access to Kendal town centre, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets. Its proximity to the Lake District is also appreciated, although parking challenges are noted.
Reviewers find the beds very comfortable and the house well-furnished, creating a cosy and relaxing environment. The presence of games and a well-stocked kitchen adds to the comfort of the stay.
The property is well-equipped with most necessities and offers a range of entertainment options. However, there are several remarks about the en-suite shower's poor performance and unresolved issues with the bins, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The owners' attention to detail is acknowledged, with mentions of activities for children and a well-prepared house. While no specific gifts are mentioned, the thoughtfulness in ensuring a comfortable stay is evident. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this is reflected in the summary.

Only point is you use rear of house as main enterence. The area needs sorting as is muddy, which is not good for footwear,, house and car. Does have gravel which is virtually non existent.

Fab kitchen with all you need to prepare good food. Very comfortable lounge with Smart TV, books & games (in the unlikely event of boredom). The accompanying info book is very clear including rated restaurants locally. The parking space will fit one MPC and a small car. We totally recommend this holiday let. We really enjoyed the week. Thank you

The shower was a mere trickle and kept going cold even when no one else was using the other bathroom it was very frustrating !
