Nothing

really cool and unique property. large enough to accommodate our whole group. close to grocery stores and restaurants.

Parking was quite difficult, but that's the price you pay to stay in a prime location in Kendal!

We stayed here for the weekend as we were celebrating my daughters wedding. The property as a whole was lovely and was just what we needed for the weekend. Parking wasn't an issue for us but as we are fairly local to Kendal it was easy for us to know where the parking is in comparison to the property regarding distance and pricing. We had a lovely detailed email from the owners before check in and they were able to let us check in early following my request for this. Lovely characterful building and very quirky!!! Overall a lovely place to stay close to all amenities

Unfortunately the stairs didn't really score 10/10. These are very slippy as my husband found out on our first night there, he slipped on them going downstairs which resulted in him breaking a toe!! Perhaps there could be a little sign put up to warn guests about this or maybe a carpet running down the middle??

The house was very clean. A lovely old building with character. Great location, tucked away for good privacy, but also very close to shops (more than you might expect for a less-populated town such as Kendal). This included chain stores and interesting independent shops. Easy to get to lakes and hill walks, just a 15 minute train journey to Windermere. I would definitely book here again if I was planning to stay in Kendal.

We were there for a local wedding and the location in the centre of town was good. I think the description is fair and honest - it is an old and really quirky building that definitely wouldn't work for some people. Yes, the stairs are steep and varnished all those things are mentioned. The steps into the upstairs bathroom are particularly difficult. It was good value compared to other rentals in the area. I felt the description was fair about the 7th bed which is in a raised area in the master bedroom - I doubt if any adult would find it particularly usable apart from as a last resort. Tip re parking. The car park just a few metres along from the rear entrance to the building (not the main road). It is time limited but we were able to pay up until the end of the day as we went to the wedding byt taxi - and then the next morning pop back down to add our last 2 hours before checkout. Can't recall if you could do it by app, I expect so.

There wasn't enough crockery for us all, I wouldn't really have wanted to cook a full meal for 7 of us in the space. Disapppointed there was no ironing board as we had travelled for a wedding and really needed to press shirts (to be honest I've never needed an iron when away before!). The host replied to a message about this straight away but wasn't able to sort a replacement in time. It wasn't as spotlessly clean as some rentals we've done, but it was ok.

Nice and clean

Nothing

Bed in master bedroom was very comfortable, other two were ok, huge bath and unique property.

The host is awful. The hob did not work, I messaged to say this and ask how to work it in case my husband and I were both missing something although we thought this was unlikely, and had looked up instructions to be sure. The wifi was rubbish, so I had to use my mobile data (not an issue for me, but will be for others if they experience the same difficulties with connection and don't have unlimited data), this seems to have contributed to the host replying with the obvious instructions on using an induction hob, and me saying that there was a buzzing sound and hob still not working after me following instructions. So host claims he thought it was sorted, he didn't check to see if it was working, which is what every other host I've ever stayed with would've done. I requested a partial refund for this inconvenience, I was not expecting much, just an acknowledgment of the issue and cover the costs of coffee we had to buy since we couldn't make our own, we hadn't tried or intended to cook dinner there so not as though we were trying to claim the cost of a dinner out. Instead, host went on the offensive, being rude and passive aggressive, implying we were ungrateful to stay here at the bargain price of £175 for one night. To be clear: I'm not complaining about the nightly cost, the host bizarrely said (this is a copy and paste, not my spelling) "Ok so you didn't like the house, ok. Well that hapoens sometimes. For the same price you can book the yha opposite. It's bunk beds and shared kitchen and bathrooms etc. Highgate House is a lovely old house. Bit marmite but many guests love it.". Also note there is no on site parking, and it was not easy to find parking close by, obviously it's on us not checking, my husband asked me to book and I assumed he'd ensured there was parking.

The house was only 20 yrds from the main st. There was adequate parking, which you had to pay for. It was £7 for 24hours.There were all the facilities that you would need.

We felt the beds could have been a bit more comfortable,and perhaps tea and coffee. I know it was self-catering, but that would have been a nice touch. There's a gap when you go upstairs,so perhaps a hand rail would make it safer.
