Superbly located 300 metres from the centre of the Cumbrian town of Kendal, this is a fantastic base for a family or couple keen to explore the Lake District National Park. Kendal has a lot to offer visitors with its twice-weekly market, many eateries and an array of cobbled historic yards, with a good selection of independent shops. For a day out, take the local train to Staveley, where you can sample delicious drinks from the Hawkshead brewery. Alternatively, visit the famous Lake Windermere (9.5 miles), where you can try your hand at sailing and kayaking or just relax at one of the many waterside tea rooms and cafes. Being in the heart of the Lake District, there are walking and cycling trails too numerous to list, many of which begin from your doorstep.

With direct access from the pavement, step inside, and the cottage consists of a cosy open-plan lounge and dining area with comfortable seating and exposed wooden beams overhead. The kitchen is located just off this space, down two steps – a bright and contemporary space. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The double room is decked out in soothing, neutral tones, while the colourful king-size is made up of zip-and-link beds which can be split into twins on request at the time of booking. If you fancy a relaxing soak, the bathroom is light and airy with a feature exposed brick wall and a shower over the bath.

While the property has no outdoor space of its own, the town centre is just metres away, and there are plenty of open spaces by the river and parks within half a mile, should you wish to explore.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 double, 1 king-size/twin
  • 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC
  • Oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer
  • TV

Nice cottage and location not to far from the shops with good walks to take the dogs on. Ideal for the lakes and waterfalls. Would and will recommend as a good and comfortable base in the Lake District.

It was a lovely little property, perfect for the 2 of us and our dogs and would have been just fine with another 2 people in the other bedroom. A stair gate would be ideal with the dogs as we dont allow them upstairs at home but we improvised with a step ladder. Also being on the path straight from front door it would be handy to have a curtain oveRead morer the front door for on a night time. Very little could improve this cottage but realistically it was great and fine as it was. Had everything you could need Hide

Greyhound cottage was a fabulous place to stay, warm and well equipped, lovely comfy beds and sofas. Had a load of books, games and dvds to keep us amused too. An ideal location for exploring Kendal, just cross the bridge outside the cottage and youre in the main town. A designated parking space outside the back door in the courtyard was ideaRead morel. Our greyhounds loved it, lots of nice river walks and lots of dog friendly places to eat and visit. There is no garden there but there are grass areas across the road right outside which were very handy. Highly recommend this place, we will be back there soon. Hide
