    “Beautiful property and gardens, tastefully furnished with super comfy beds.”

    Lovely and peaceful countryside location whilst only being 1 minute drive from shops which was super convenient. Great location to explore the Lake District from. Highly recommend!

The property

Summerhow Retreat, a charming first-floor apartment rests in the outskirts of Kendal, a vibrant town in Cumbria.

With stunning countryside views, a Smart TV, and private driveway parking, this home welcomes five guests and two furry friends, making it the perfect getaway to Cumbria.

Inside, the well-equipped kitchen is ready for the culinary enthusiast to whip up some delicious meals, while the living/dining room offers an inviting space to gather around the dining table and relax by the warmth of the fire as a family.

Moving through the property, you will discover the two plush bedrooms, including a king-size and a twin, to unwind in after a fun-filled day, whilst the bathroom hosts a space to indulge in a bubbly bath or a rinse in the refreshing shower.

In the warmer months, enjoy a picnic outside, let the children play amongst the lawn, or just simply appreciate the rural surroundings.

Venture into the town of Kendal and explore the charming streets lined with traditional pubs, local shops, and eateries offering delicious Cumbrian cuisine.

Visit Wakefield Arms Table Table, Cortillo Lounge, or Ye Olde Fleece Inn, all worth a visit for some tasty food.

For a day of relaxation, head to the nearby Lake Windermere, the largest lake in England, and take a leisurely boat trip or enjoy water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding.

Immerse yourself in the beautiful landscapes of the Lake District National Park, where endless hiking and biking trails await, leading you to picturesque viewpoints and hidden gems, and if you’re hungry stop at BAHA Bowness on the way home.

Whether you choose to explore the cultural heritage of Kendal, the tranquil waters of Windermere, or the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park, Summerhow Retreat provides a fantastic base for a memorable Cumbrian getaway.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

KENDAL

Windermere 8 miles.

A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
