Cottage holiday rentals in Kendal

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

we had a fantastic stay. thank you for making it so welcoming and dog friendly we all had a great time using it as a base to explore the lakes! the hot tub was bliss. the property was immaculate and Kev very friendly and responsive. thank you so much xx

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Great cottage, had everything we need and the location was great for what we were doing. Hot tub was an added bonus for the trip.

Lovely old cottage with modern facilities. Out of the main Lake District drag but everywhere is easily accessible by car. Leading up to the stay, Gemma was very responsive and friendly to questions and messages. All in all a really nice few days in the Lakes and in this property.

We had a great stay at Hilltop, it's a lovely cottage. I was able to have breakfast outside every day of my stay which was a real luxury for me. We did some great hikes too venturing to the Borrowdale valley with its stunning views and even went down to the beach one day. Good communication with Natasha as well, would definitely reccomend.

We had a great time at this lovely, comfortable, characterful house. We enjoyed the sound of the river flowing by as we ate and enjoyed drinks in the garden. The house was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It is located in a beautiful village with a shop and traditional pub serving lovely food. Great dog walks right from the door. We would love to return.

what a wonderful place The Orchard is to stay, stunning countryside views and so cosy and comfortable, very relaxing. Good area to be able to travel around and visit the various lakes and towns. some lovely local pubs/restaurants. Highly recommend to friends and family.

this cottage is perfect for a little family retreat, my daughter loved seeing bits of the farm and some animals roaming around, me and my wife loved how secluded it was peaceful and quiet. comfortable interior thought all rooms and great host, lots of local attractions for all ages highly recommended

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

The accomodation was perfect for two people. Quiet location ,well presented and easy to find. Well appointed with everything you need. Within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Good bus service and the train station isca 10 minute walk. We did use our car during our stay, opted to use public transport, nice and easy. Totally enjoyed our stay .

Rose Cottage is a truly wonderful place to stay. We had a fantastic break with our two dogs and couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and well-equipped home base. Jo has thought of every detail—from the exceptionally well-stocked kitchen for home-cooked meals, to the shelves filled with books, board games, and a brilliant selection of hiking guides to help you plan your next adventure. The beds are incredibly comfortable, which is a real treat after a day out walking. If you’d rather take it easy, the garden offers the perfect spot to unwind. The location is excellent, with scenic walks right from the doorstep and easy access to the touristy spots in the Lakes. Caldbeck has everything you might need, a great pub, a couple of charming cafés, a local shop, and more. Jo and Chris are truly inspiring hosts. It was a joy to hear about their adventures and journey with Rose Cottage. They were also incredibly generous with their time, going above and beyond when our car broke down.

We had a wonderful stay at Silver Howe, the cottage was perfect for exploring the Lakes. It was a real home from home with a handy local shop and pub. The private fenced garden was great as we had our dog with us, it also kept out the local sheep! Would recommend Rebecca’s place for a visit, it was clean, has great amenities and lots of character and charm. The lovely walk along the river to Elterwater is recommended, as is a stop at the Britannia Inn, the food was very good. Overall a great stay, thank you.

Anya’s house was very comfortable and we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The instructions provided were easy to follow. Each room had heating which was needed as one night was quite cold. It was great to have a washing machine. The location was within driving to restaurants and pubs and there was plenty of pamphlets of things to do and see in the area. The tiny snug was very cute and cosy. Highly recommended

We spent a lovely 5 days at Alison's place. We appreciated being able to check in at 3pm and the directions and check in instructions were straightforward. Orton is a lovely village - there are lots of local walks, we visited the chocolate shop and café and even enjoyed a folk music night at the Village Hall right next door. The bed was extremely comfy, there was a smart TV to relax in the evening and we had everything we needed. Thank you

Words can’t describe how wonderful our stay was at Stones Throw, we had such a lovely time, the accommodation was beautiful and immaculately clean, the surroundings were dreamy and the sheep and lambs in the surrounding fields could keep you entertained for hours! The village is so peaceful and quiet but Kendal is only 5 minutes up the road with great shops, bars and restaurants - you won’t need for anything. Our hosts were amazing, so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and helpful, a huge thank you from us for such a wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back, don’t change anything that you’re doing because what you’ve got is absolutely perfect in every way shape and form! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Lisa’s - four adults, two under one year olds and a dog! The bedrooms have plenty of room for travel cots and were clean, comfortable and cosy. The garden is stunning and sitting in the little garden hut looking over the mountains around was a great way to start the day. The kitchen is well equipped and in great condition. The shower is really good and Lisa provides basic bathroom items incase you forget any essentials which is a lovely touch. The living space is stunning - plenty of space for the babies to roll around on the floor whilst being contained! The views from the windows are gorgeous. Lisa was very responsive during our stay when we had a couple of queries. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, it is lovely and spacious, the garden was a bonus, and the area is beautiful and peaceful. Emma has thought of things you may need to make your stay enjoyable, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. We would highly recommend a stay at Emma and Gary's cottage, a great base to enjoy this part of the Lake District.

Peaceful getaway tucked away from the world, fabulous bathroom without standing views from the bathtub. Spacious living room with modern appliances in kitchen.

Sue and I stayed at Drakes Cottage 3rd to 6th June 2025 and it was wonderful. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break. Cartmel is only a few minutes away and has some lovely eateries. There is lots to see in the local area and we particularly liked Levens Hall and Grange over Sands. There is a comprehensive folder of information in the cottage which will direct you to other areas to visit and restaurants in the vicinity. This is our 2nd visit and it is highly recommended.
