Windermere

Perfect for a three day stopover in the centre of Kendal.

All the amenities on your doorstep (including a very handy Tesco Express opposite), clean and comfortable apartment. Countryside walks literally 10 minutes away (on foot) and train station similar distance if you're backpacking. If I had to say anything negative, there were a couple of bulbs that needed changing!

A very comfortable, immaculately clean and well presented 'modern' (refurbished) conveniently located flat in the centre of Kendal.

Ideal base for visiting the Southern Lakes area. Nearby parking available.

Lovely place to stay in Kendal.

The property is very clean and modern, right in the centre of the town with plenty of parking available nearby. Brilliant for exploring Kendal lovely walks along the river, and a great base for surrounding areas.

First impressions were good, but sadly that’s where it ended.

It would be a good idea to wash the bedding and towels in a non-bio, non-perfumed detergent as I spent my entire stay itching as soon as I got into bed, so didn’t sleep during my time there. The bedding also needs changing, when I stripped the bed upon departure as requested, there were many questionable stains on the duvet and mattress protector. The sofa and armchair also need replacing, as they’re old and now uncomfortable. This meant, there was no comfortable place for me to sit or sleep, which was far from ideal. The whole place needed a deep clean e.g. there was still curry split from the last occupant in the microwave and their hair in the bathroom. The flat is on the top floor, up 2 steep flights of stairs, so think about how much you bring with you. The lack of parking and the one way system is also something you should consider. Leave yourself a minimum of half an hour to walk back to your car and navigate this system on the day you’re checking out. Also, although the location is great in the day, who knew at night Kendal “comes to life.” From around 10pm-1am the Tesco Extra opposite becomes the hangout spot and there’s a lot of shouting, so pack earplugs! Also, pack an eye mask as the blinds don’t fit well either. There is no reception, only an emergency contact number. As none of the above constitutes an emergency, I had no one I could contact about these matters. Sadly this was not the restorative trip I’d hoped it would be.

Well appreciated modern flat in the centre of town

This apartment has an ideal layout and is furnished and decorated to a very high standard.

The bed is extremely comfortable with quality bedding. The shower with a choice of heads, is powerful and the water hot. We liked the luxurious towels and the Miniml toiletries. Thank you for the treats. When booking, one of the items we requested in the search was parking. “Unallocated parking” is in the list of features on the website and is referred to in 2 reviews. This should read no parking available, Pay and Display car parks very close by, to avoid confusion. The only other point would be a small frying pan and baking tray would have been useful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this apartment for anyone wishing to explore Kendal and the surrounding area.

A great central location in Kendal and only a short walk away from the castle ruins.

The unallocated parking was very close and handy. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The bathroom was very spacious and I absolutely loved the Miniml shower gel and soap that was provided. A great last minute getaway!!

Thank you very much for the brilliant hospitality at Windermere, letting us check in and out early was much appreciated and snacks left was a great touch.

We had found information regarding parking already but this was shared in the day by the owner as well. Great guide for food/ things to do too in the property. Thanks again
