Lovely quaint little guest house. I’m in Kendal frequently for work, and fancied a change from the usual chain hotel options. This little B&B was a great option - very clean and well maintained with excellent facilities.

A lovely little place, comfortable and spotless room. Yvonne was a welcoming host and communication was great right from booking to leaving.A quirky guesthouse with really thoughtful extra touches. When we arrived there were fresh biscuits in our room with tea, coffee and hot chocolate sachets and a kettle. A little sewing kit in the room, which we ended up needing and a hot water bottle and blanket for colder nights. Our room was facing the river, so a beautiful location. Yvonne had kindly supplied a map and a list of places to eat or to explore. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for a guesthouse in the area.
