    Loved the bed, location was terrific, everything was exactly as you'd want it. The sofa was great for just loafing and the little shop downstairs was really convenient.

Enjoy a lovely getaway at this centrally-located place. The flat is cosy and stylish, 5 min walk from Kendal town centre, 2 min from Kendal train station and 5 min to the bus station. Windermere 10 min by train. This really is a fantastic place to be for all Kendal and nearby amenities. The gateway to the lakes!
We are in a amazingly unique space in amongst houses and businesses and a college. The building opposite on the street used to be an old brewery. The windows are great to watch the people below. We are 2 minutes walk from Kendal train station giving access to Staveley, Windermere, Bowness. then an open top bus rides to Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick. Catch the 555 bus (every hour) route from bus station giving access to the whole of the lakes !!! 5 mins by car to Sainsbury’s and Aldi, 2 min walk to Lidl’s and we have a convenience store on the street below, as well as a great Indian restaurant, Domino pizza 5 minute walk away plus many fantastic bars and cafes. Short walk to Kendal castle plus many local walks. train station
