If you love nothing more than the great outdoors, this home is for you. Nestled in the heart of Kendal, this charming market town has earned its nickname as the ‘Gateway to the Lakes’ for good reason. With scenic hikes aplenty, you’re spoilt for choice – or for those looking for a more laid-back break, soak up some culture instead at Kendal Castle or the renowned Kendal Museum. Back home, whipping up a home-cooked meal in the country kitchen is a breeze, while the freestanding tub is the ideal place to relax after a busy day.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
