    Yvonne was very helpful. The room had several pleasant little extras - hot water bottle, tissues, a carafe of drinking water. The window overlooked the river. The accommodation was within easy walking distance of the town centre without being in amongst it.

    Room had river view, location was great, walking distance to shops, restaurants, pubs, tours pick up point and Kendal Castle. Yvonne was such a sweetheart. She made the whole experience even better making sure everything was perfect. She cooks the best homemade cookies and serves coffee to her guests in their rooms at their preferred time in the morning! She’s s star!

    Bathroom was a bit cramped but it was clean and functional. The shower worked well despite the room being at the top of the stairs.

    A great welcome from the owner, really helpful information preceded the stay and very accommodating overall. Genuinely lovely people. Helped me in with my luggage too 👌 fabulous location overlooking the river.

    Can't complaint... Although the building is old , so understandably the Windows etc are old and therefore draughty, but was sorted straight away. It is hard for England to get this cold , so not moaning, i have broken heating in my flat much southern from here and it takes ages to be even looked at it. It is very quirky place and you get sorted our if needed.

    The "wicked" landlady is a very nice person happy to help you in any way with a hint of joke. Also knowledgeable aro7nd the surrounding.

    Room and bed very comfortable. Yvonne was a very attentive and friendly host. Room was on 2nd floor but was a little chilly but Yvonne bled the radiator for us in an attempt to warm us up. However it is mid January so can't really complain. 15 minute walk into town. Nearest pub 5 mins to Ring o Bells. Will definitely stay here again.

    Delightful hostess, so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were wonderfully warm and cosy in our room for a cold wet December. The home made shortbread was delicious. The location was perfect for exploring Kendal and visiting the Brewery Arts Centre. Would definitely return.
