Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay.

Joseph
The kitchen area was huge and very well equipped. All the bedrooms were extremely comfortable and could not be faulted. The purpose of the visit was to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary and the party consisted of 14 people including 2 babies. Everybody loved the cottage and the stunning views outside.

I booked the house to celebrate my 60th birthday, we were a group of 11 adults and 2 dogs. The house was a perfect size for our needs, very comfortable and well equipped with fabulous views. There are good walks from the front door, with nice pubs at the end of them. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Would recommend this property and would return.
