September 2024

“The flat was well presented and in an excellent location for the lake District.”

- Alan, September 2024
Kelly September 2024

“Had a great stay.”

Perfect location within the town. Short walk to shops, bars and resteraunts. Also great base for exploring the lakes. The apartment had all you needed. Great touches like games and walking books. Will definitely stay again.

- Kelly, September 2024

Thank you for your great feedback. We hope you stay again. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner
Pauline September 2024

“A lovely 2 bedroom apartment close to all amenities however we did have trouble finding where the apartment was located as we were not familiar with the area.”

Two kind local people helped us to locate it.The kitchen facilities were good so that we could easily make meals when we didn't want to eat out every night. Comfortable sofa and chairs and a great large tv with streaming channels which was a bonus. The beds were comfortable also although we are used to having a king size bed but as there was 2 bedrooms with double beds this was not a problem! Loved the decor of the bathroom with the walk in rain shower. All in all we had a lovely stay while visiting Kendal which has a lot to offer in relation to shopping, eating out and good transport bus links to visit other towns in the Lake District area.

- Pauline, September 2024

Thank you for your brilliant feedback and comments. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us at River Walk. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner

“Lovely property perfectly placed for trips out across the lake district and so close to shops and restaurants.”

Had everything you'd need inside the flat as well. Really helpful owners who responded to a query I had with speed and positivity. Highly recommended.

Thank you Michael for your wonderful feedback and for booking River Walk. You were great guests. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner

Paul May 2024

“My only criticism is that the property postcode doesn't work on my incar Satnav.”

However the directions given by Sykes website proved to be spot on. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

- Paul, May 2024

Sorry to hear this but so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner
Alan May 2024

“Daisy chaining of extension sockets in the bedroom is very dangerous and a fire hazard.”

Very noisy fridge freezer which needs levelling. No evidence of gas safety certificate

- Alan, May 2024

We are sorry to hear this. We will of course investigate. We hope you enjoyed the complimentary wine and biscuits. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner

“This is a great base everything you need will be back again”

- Marie, March 2024
Tracy March 2024

“Great location with parking although quite tight to manoeuvre if it’s full with a big car.”

Flat nicely appointed with everything you need, a nice big TV and comfy sofa. Mattresses not great for us but that’s a personal choice, overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend if you want to stay in town.

- Tracy, March 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner
Joan February 2024

“The property was really comfortable,once we parked the car we didn't have to use it as the town was in walking distance.”

A good base for visiting the towns in the lake district,because of the good bus service, Maybe the owner could get another shower mat as getting out of the shower was a bit slippy,apart from that it was a great shower and stay.

- Joan, February 2024

Thank you for your great feedback. We have put another shower mat into the bathroom. We hope you stay with us again, best wishes Gaby Property Owner
Frances December 2023

“My family stayed here when they came for Christmas and new year 2023.”

They loved the apartment. It was tastefully furnished, warm and cosy, with everything you would need away from home, and lots of choices for eating out, and entertainment, within an easy stroll. I requested a baby cot and highchair, and these were in the apartment on arrival. Gaby even put up a christmas tree for us. Correspondence with the owners was easy and very pleasant. I would highly recommend this holiday apartment, and I would definitely look to book here again in the future. Thanks Gaby. You are a super-host.

- Frances, December 2023

Thank you so much Frances for your great feedback. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner
Colette December 2023

“This was a really comfortable apartment in an excellent location in Kendal.”

The kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing I missed was a hairdryer… but it didn’t mention a hairdryer in the details so this isn’t a criticism. We had a wonderful week.

- Colette, December 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at River Walk. We will ensure a hairdryer is provided - thank you for letting us know. Best wishes, Gaby Property Owner
James December 2023

“This is my second stay in the property.”

As I lived for 25 years in Kendal so Riverwalk is a nice convenient spot in the town centre to revisit. The property is ideal for my purpose

- James, December 2023

This is great to read. Thank you very much for booking with us again. Gaby Property Owner
Janet September 2023

“Accommodation was very comfortable and tastefully decorated.”

Was near to shops and ideal location for visiting the Lake District. For our personal circumstances it did not work as well as we would have liked. Flat was fairly small and there was limited space to dry laundry. There was no airer apart from a small pull out unit in the bathroom. Bathroom floor was very slippery when wet, and there were no hand towels. Hanging space was limited with no wardrobes just a couple of rails and drawers. If you expect to do washing and have wet, muddy clothes, rucksacks etc., as nice as the flat is, this may not be the right holiday let for you. Allocated parking space caused a few problems as we had a larger car.

- Janet, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We believe all of the photos on the website help give an overview of the size of the flat and I’m sorry it didn’t fulfill your needs.Gaby Property Owner
Dawn August 2023

“Absolutely beautiful apartment & location for town & eateries perfect .”

Will definitely book again when coming back to area.

- Dawn, August 2023

Thank you so much for your great feedback and hope you had a lovely stay. We hope to see you again. Gaby Property Owner
Harold July 2023

“Excellent all round holiday accommodation.”

- Harold, July 2023

Thank you for your super feedback. We hope to see you back again soon. Gaby Property Owner
James June 2023

“This was a beautiful apartment and was very new with everything in it new.”

The only slight drawback was there were no wardrobes in either bedroom only coat hangers on hooks. This did not prove a problem and I managed the situation. Everything else about the bedrooms was luxurious and obviously to achieve that wardrobes would not fit but the rooms were of a good size, I did contact the owner about a couple of minor points and she was extremely helpful and pleasant.

- James, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Ruth June 2023

“We had a great time at this lovely spotless apartment very central to all amenities and added bonus of private parking space nice touch of bottle of wine and shortbread.”

SUPERB!!Would definately recommend and hope to visit again soon.

- Ruth, June 2023

So glad you had a good time during your stay. Thank you very much for your great feedback. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

Karen May 2023

“It was a very well presented flat, clean and functional.”

The welcome package was a nice surprise. We had reason to text the property owner and they were very helpful. On Comfort we do prefer a king size bed, although we appreciate the bedrooms were not huge. The maintenance manager was very helpful in terms of car spaces - the whole place was good value for money.

- Karen, May 2023
Paul May 2023

“A lovely well kept spacious appartment .”

Very close to town centre and all that has offer and less then 20 minutes from the lake district . In a ideal location . We had a fantastic stay and will be back some time in the future

- Paul, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We hope to welcome you back. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team. Property Owner
Alan April 2023

“The flat is very comfortable and has everything you would need for a holiday.”

It's just a short walk into the centre of town and having it's own parking space is ideal. I really enjoyed my stay and would look to come back.

- Alan, April 2023

Thank you for your great feedback. We are really happy you enjoyed your stay in River Walk. Many thanks, Gaby Property Owner
Paul April 2023

“First rate apartment in a great location to access Kendals main attractions.”

Small problem with the entrance door lock

- Paul, April 2023

Thank you for your great feedback. We have now changed the lock on the front door and there are no issues with this now. We hope to see you again. Many thanks. Property Owner
Mark March 2023

“Had a really nice stay at River Walk.”

The accommodation was absolutely spotless. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. A book with instructions for the electric hob (only ever used gas) the knack with the front door would be good. The single glazing made you realise how much I appreciate double glazing but I suspect there isn’t anything you can do about it (listed property?) but having said that it didn’t spoil our stay. My daughter and I found it super relaxing. Thank you.Julie

- Mark, March 2023

Thank you so much Julie for your lovely feedback and constructive suggestions. We are happy you had a relaxing stay at River Walk. All of the windows in the building are in the process of being reviewed with an intention to be replaced. Thanks again, Gaby Property Owner
Harold March 2023

“Excellent attention to detail, you seem to have all bases covered, will definitely book your accommodation again, Thank you .”

- Harold, March 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are happy you had a comfortable stay in River Walk. Property Owner
Graham February 2023

“We had an enjoyable stay at River Walk, a tastefully furnished, bright, modern, and clean apartment, in a great location in the centre of Kendal.”

The allocated parking space was ideal, being in a private courtyard near to the apartment entrance, and we found it easy to get around the lakes from here, whilst enjoying all the benefits of staying in a town centre, such as good restaurants, pubs, and shops. We can definitely recommend this property to others.

- Graham, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback, so glad you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner
Douglas February 2023

“Lovely apartment, clean comfortable and well equipped.”

Easy access to town centre.

- Douglas, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you visit with us again. Property Owner
John January 2023

“This is a nice flat.”

Comfortable, warm and well equipped. It’s ideally located for Kendal town centre. I used it as a base for hill walking and again its location is ideal for the eastern/ southern Lake District and the Pennines. Parking bay allocated to flat was of a good size and very close to the main entrance. All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending.

- John, January 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. Property Owner

The property

River Walk is a beautiful first-floor apartment in the heart of Kendal, Cumbria. River Walk is an excellent choice for two people or a family of four thanks to its convenient position just outside the Lake District National Park and its proximity to the River Kent and to nearby shops and restaurants. Step into the bright open-plan living area, where you can whip up a dinner in the well-appointed kitchen and then relax with a delicious meal and a glass of wine at the four-seat dining table. Once dinner is over, retire to the plush seating and unwind in front of your favourite show on the Smart TV. There are two inviting double bedrooms, one of which has a TV, and a sleek shower room where can freshen up after a fun-filled day of sight-seeing. You can take a stroll along the River Kent, check out Kendal Museum, have a blast at the Kendal Snowsports Club, learn something new at the Quaker Tapestry Museum, practise your swing at the excellent Kendal Golf Club, or treat your loved ones to a meal at one of the town's many excellent restaurants like Sapore, Bangkok 7 Thai, or Farmhouse Kitchen. Windermere can be found just a short drive away, where you can enjoy a variety of watersports on the lake, take in the scenery from vantage points like Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head, and explore the popular World of Beatrix Potter Attraction. Foodies can satisfy their cravings at nearby Bowness-on-Windermere, where restaurants like HRiSHi, Gilpin Spice, and Henrock have earned Michelin Stars. Ambleside, with its spectacular Stock Ghyll Force and Roman fort from the 2nd century, and Grasmere, where William Wordsworth once lived, are both worth the trip. River Walk promises an unforgettable stay in Cumbria.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
