“This adults-only guest house, a short walk from Kendal's centre, impressed me with its thoughtful touches, from well-stocked rooms to a host known for going the extra mile. The inclusion of full English breakfast and perks like grocery delivery make it a standout for those seeking convenience. I think this is a prime base for exploring the Lake District.”
