United KingdomI had a fantastic stay! I loved the deceptively spacious attic room with excellent views and cute quirky touches. Homemade cake and biscuits were an unexpected bonus! Yvonne was a really attentive hostess, as well as being welcoming and friendly.

United KingdomA wonderful guesthouse that Yvonne the owner clearly lovingly cares for and it shows! Lots of attention to detail from beautiful hand crocheted drink coasters to homemade cakes in the room upon arrival, the rooms were incredibly clean, check in and check out was easy, and it was very good value for money in terms of pricing. We were able to take an easy bus across the Lake District from a bus stop close by and moved around the various Lake District villages every day without paying the prices of some of the more touristy villages like Ambleside. That being said, the village the guesthouse is located in still has things to do in terms of breakfast spots, pubs, etc in its own right and Yvonne provides a map of some of her favorite recommendations. It’s just a little less flat-out tourist focused than some of the others villages but still very cute and nice to have some “normal” shops around. Would definitely stay at the Lyndhurst Guest House again!

United StatesYvonne was awesome, made you feel welcome even before walking through the door!! The room was perfect the breakfast awesome and room was spotless. In a perfect location for a good nights sleep yet only a 5 minute walk along the river to the town centre for shops, restaurants and pubs. Will definitely book here again for future trips to the lakes. Yvonne is the greatest export from Germany since the motor car and beer!!

Yvonne
A traditional late-Victorian home from home located in the vibrant market town of Kendal, also known as “The Gateway to the Lakes”
Lyndhurst Guest House is a friendly, inclusive, and green bed and breakfast located in South Lakeland.
Yvonne, your welcoming host, ensures that all dietary needs are catered for with prior notice. Our delicious breakfast can be vegetarian, vegan, gluten or dairy free. There’s a good selection on offer which ensures you can have what you want, rather than having to have what’s left.
Cosy, comfortable, and ensuite rooms ensure you are at ease for the duration of your stay. We have a selection of single, double, and super king sized beds. Many of our rooms overlook the river. Each of our rooms are equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a TV, and full of homemade touches - from handmade crochet to homemade cake on arrival. There is free high speed Wi-Fi throughout the Guest House, free parking on the street. Should there be anything else you need, you are always welcome to ask.
Yvonne, your welcoming host, welcomes everyone at Lyndhurst Guest House. Although Yvonne loves the Guest House, in her spare time she can be found crocheting, walking Scout (the resident dog here at Lyndhurst - not allowed upstairs!) in the beautiful Lake District, or training for a marathon.
Since moving to Kendal 15 years ago, Yvonne has fallen in love with the market town daily. Perfectly situated in South Lakeland, it makes a fantastic base to explore all the Lake District has to offer.
Lyndhurst loves to make a difference where it can. Surrounded by the beautiful Lake District, we are inspired everyday to do what we can to protect our lush landscape. Low food waste, recycling, and green energy are just some of the ways we’re doing our bit.
If you'd like any recommendations, from where to eat to where to walk, please do ask Yvonne!
Kendal is a market town based in South Lakeland. Often described as “The Gateway to the Lakes”, it makes a wonderful base to explore all of the Lake District without being confined to being seasonal or a “tourist trap”.
Kendal is vibrant with arts, culture, and events year round and allows guests for a proper taste of Lakeland life. Whether you want to explore the historical Abbot Hall Art Gallery, immerse yourself in the Brewery Arts Centre, or indulge in the 1657 chocolate house there’s plenty to do within a 10 minute walk away.
If you’d like to explore further afield, Kendal makes a good base for visiting well known Lake District spots. Windermere is accessible by a short train, drive, or bus ride. If you are looking to put your walking boots on, there’s plenty of famous and lesser known walks alike near Kendal depending on your mood. Please do ask Yvonne for recommendations.
