Spend a relaxing break in the town known as the ‘Gateway to the Lakes’ at this gorgeous loft apartment in a central location in Kendal. With space for up to four humans and two doggies, this welcoming accommodation is just right for a couple or a small family hoping to discover the scenic delights of the world-famous Lake District. Spend your days exploring the damson tree-strewn landscape of Lyth Valley with your pets, followed by delicious meals out or cosy evenings in with your pets.
To reach the front door you’ll ascend several steps, followed by more steps on the inside to take you up to the top floor. All the rooms have vaulted walls, lovely skylights letting the light in and gorgeous dark ceiling beams that give the place plenty of character. The carpeted open-plan living area is an attractive space to kick back in, with plush sofas and a TV for restful evenings in. During the cold months, create a cosy sleep spot for your pets by firing up the flame effect electric fire. Two stylish bedrooms are available – one double and one zip-and-link king-size (which can be made up as a twin on request). Completing the property are a fresh and bright family bathroom and a handy utility room.
Kendal is a lively market town that’s popular with hikers and other countryside aficionados. You can enjoy a pint in a doggie-welcoming pub (100 metres) before exploring Kendal’s pretty cobbled streets, perhaps heading on a circular walk along the River Kent (150 metres) which runs through the town passing under several scenic bridges. Since your furry friends will no doubt be dying itching to tear along grassy paths and rural trails, we recommend heading to the nearby Gurnal Dubs (4 miles) which is an excellent wild swimming spot for both human and canine guests. At Lake Windermere (9.5 miles) they can sniff out delicious new scents while you absorb the views and, if they’re the boating types, even join you on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard.
