    “The house was lovely, the scenery spectacular and we had a lovely time.”

    Three small niggles.....:1) It felt penny-pinching to find each bathroom had only 2 loo rolls! There was a cupboard in the utility with plenty of spare towels - we didn't need any - towels were in abundance, but no spare loo rolls. Plenty of good quality kitchen equipment to use but loo rolls were restricted!?! 2) The teaspoons were heavily out numbered by the other cutlery! Knives, forks, desert spoons aplenty, but you need to get some more teaspoons. I think there were only about 6 or ...

    Three small niggles.....:1) It felt penny-pinching to find each bathroom had only 2 loo rolls! There was a cupboard in the utility with plenty of spare towels - we didn't need any - towels were in abundance, but no spare loo rolls. Plenty of good quality kitchen equipment to use but loo rolls were restricted!?! 2) The teaspoons were heavily out numbered by the other cutlery! Knives, forks, desert spoons aplenty, but you need to get some more teaspoons. I think there were only about 6 or 7! 3). Again it felt a bit mean, given the high quality of provision in all other respects, that there wasn't a small pack of kindling and a few logs for an initial fire. As it happens, one of our party had brought some logs and kindling, but it seemed odd that there was a nice tray of coffee, tea, fruit loaf etc., in the kitchen (much appreciated), but not a small starter pack for a fire.

    - Michael, November 2023

    Dear Michael, I am pleased to hear you had a lovely stay. However, I am sorry to hear you had some niggles. As the owner I am always available during a stay to help and offer support but I did not hear from you. Usually we do not supply toilet rolls in every bathroom to cover the full stay (only the initial few days), however if you had reached out I would happily have gotten more supplied to you. Thank you for your comments on our teaspoons. I will have some more purchased. Clearly we have had some go missing so I will get them replaced. We have a log store next to the house (not locked) that we are happy for guests to use free of charge through the winter, especially for that first fire. We also supply all the fire starters etc to guests. I will check the stock levels for these. I am sorry that was not sufficient. With best regards, The Low House. Property Owner

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.
