"This is a very homely and cosy cottage."
It is beautifully decorated and well equipted in the kitchen. The owner went out of her way to make it welcoming. Beautiful vases of roses in the bedroom and the kitchen. The cottage is near to the town centre. Off the main roads, so it is very quiet (Kendal's traffic is very busy.) Bed very comfortable with lovely Egyptian cotton duvet covers and sheets. Very snug. The owner is readily available by phone if you need anything. We had a lovely stay. Highly recommend.
Thank you Jane for choosing to stay at Gosling Cottage and your lovely (helpful) feedback and high recommendation. It really warms my heart to hear the extra touches didn't go unoticed and were appreciated. Angela Property Owner

"A real gem!"
Gosling cottage was extremely well equipped. It had everything you could want or need and more. Very clean and tidy. The owners have obviously spent a great deal of time, thought and effort into making the cottage a home from home with added touches of luxury you do not expect to find in a rental property. It was in a very quiet location within walking distance of Kendal town centre. Although there is no parking on site we easily found a parking spot close by. We would not hesitate to return to Gosling cottage on our next visit to Kendal.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it is much appreciated. Welcome back anytime. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at the Gosling cottage."
We brought a 3month old baby and the host was very caring and helpful and had left us a lot of baby 'gear' so we didnt need to travel with lots of extras. The cottage is very well looked after and feels very considered (amenities, books, art). Location is handy too. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it really does help and is much appreciated x Property Owner

Has everything you could need in a cracking location. The owners were very helpful with messages before we arrived and we couldn’t have hoped for a better stay. Thankyou.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it really warms my heart to hear you enjoyed your stay. I hope you will think of us again, you will be very welcome. Property Owner

"Just back from a 3 night stay at Gosling Cottage."
We had a fabulous time. It’s equipped with everything you could possibly need. It’s cosy - comfy - clean - we just loved it. Walking distance to town centre. And the recommended pubs were just great. Family dog friendly places. Lovely walks on your doorstep too. Hosts were super helpful and friendly giving tips and advice before we even arrived. Above and beyond I would say. Would 100% recommend a stay here - you’ll love it!
A heartfelt thank you for such lovely feedback, it really is appreciated. Property Owner

"This cottage was absolutely beautiful and so close to Windermere and other Lake District attractions."
The cottage itself was quaint and decorated lovely. Only a could of small things, the fridge doesn't seem to be functioning to its full potential and also it gets very hot upstairs of an evening so potentially providing a fan for the bedroom is a good idea? However overall the cottage was beautiful and we had a really lovely time.
Hi, I'm glad you liked the cottage we try our best to make it feel comfortable so adding a fan is a great idea (now purchased). I am sorry about the fridge, that's my fault as I changed the setting as it was starting to freeze. Looks like I need to adjust the setting again. It is a shame you didn't reach out to me at the time as these are very quick fixes. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our stay in this charming, cosy and comfortable cottage."
The owners had put so much thought in to providing everything we could need - and a few 'goodies' to boot! We loved all the quirky touches making this a special place to stay. And it's situated within easy walking distance of Kendal town centre, surrounded by wonderful walking country. We especially recommend the weird and wonderful topiary garden at Levens Hall - the oldest in the world!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it is very much appreciated. Hope to see you again should you venture this way. Property Owner

The property
Gosling Cottage is a lovely little stone terraced cottage that sits near an attractive green next to the River Kent where kingfishers, otters and leaping salmon can be found in the pretty market town of Kendal.
The town centre is just a short five minutes walk over an historic bridge making this an ideal location.
Kendal is not called the "gateway to the Lakes" for no reason as it sits right on the border of the Lake District National Park.
Sleeping two guests, this property is an ideal choice for couples who are yearning for a countryside escape.
Make your way to your new holiday home through the pretty front garden and be greeted by the comforting sitting room upon entering and relax in front of the fresh fire of the woodburning stove while you keep up to date with all your favourite shows on the Smart TV.
Moving through the property you will find the kitchen and dining room with space for the pair of you to sit down and have your lovely meals together after cooking up a romantic feast.
After your meal, why not take a load off and indulge in a hot, steamy soak in the exquisite roll-top bath before getting under the fresh linen of the super-king-size bed for your night’s rest?
With Kendal being right on your doorstep, there is a whole host of things to do and sights to see.
For when you're feeling sporty why not pay a visit to Lakeland Climbing Centres or Carus Green Golf Course & Driving Range with both promising to keep you busy, along with the range of hiking trails dotted throughout the national park, including Scafell Pike and Helvellyn.
When you've got a more scenic day planned head over to Kendal Castle for rich displays of history and countryside views.
A short drive away you have Windermere Lake where you can enjoy the fun-filled waters with an array of watersports, as well as visiting Claife Viewing Station and Windermere West Shore for your afternoon packed lunch.
Should you get peckish on your travels, you can satisfy your rumbling bellies at The Magic Roundabout or Picnic Cabin for a more casual bite.
Be sure to visit the many lakes of the Lake District National Park, such as Buttermere, Ullswater, Coniston and more, with varying levels of serenity, depending on the mood you’re in.
If you're planning a day out further afield, Lancaster is within easy reach, with Lancaster Cathedral and opportunities for shopping and dining in abundance.
Kendal Castle and the River Kent are just a few minutes walk from the property.
Kendal Train Station is a 5 Minute Walk and the main Bus Station is an 8 Minute walk.
All of this and much more await you at Gosling Cottage.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
About the location
KENDAL
Windermere 8 miles.
A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. 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. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
