    Easy to locate, 5 minutes off M6. Free car park at the back of the property. Lovely room, very comfy bed. Everything super clean. Fridge in the room, tea coffee and snacks provided. Lovely modern bathroom and great shower. Fluffy towels and even bathrobes! Glynis was so friendly and easy going, nothing was a problem. Great find!

    Very warm welcome and a hearty breakfast. The room was exceptionally clean and a decent size. The house sits just outside the centre but it's a short walk to the station and restaurants. It's also quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended.

    Having to leave this wonderful place.

    We loved our stay here. It was everything that we wanted and hoped for from a bed & breakfast guest house. The room was spacious with an extremely comfortable bed. Every detail had been thought of from the quality of the towels and linen to welcoming decor and thoughtful treats that were restocked throughout our stay. Breakfast was amazing and the dining room atmosphere offered the opportunity to mingle with other guests if wanted. We met some lovely other travellers and enjoyed every conversation we had with the host and guests. It truly felt like home. The car park out the back meant we could leave the car and enjoy the double decker bus through the Lake District. Everything is close by and we’d happily recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

    All aspects of Glenholme Guesthouse met our needs. Glynne, the owner was very welcoming and friendly. She made us feel at home and even ensured good quality snacks were available in our room along with tea/coffee making facilities.

    Breakfast was excellent with a large variety of breakfast foods to choose from. The room was well appointed with good quality bed linen and towels. Due to mobility issues, tbe ‘walk in’ shower was a bonus.

    Not something that effected me but the stairs may be an issue for some people so that’s something to keep in mind.

    A lovely guesthouse just a fifteen minute walk to the centre of Kendal, the perfect location for someone who wants access to everything without being right in the centre especially as the weather was warming up a little and tourist season was upon us. Absolutely loved the room I was given it’s was comfortable and had everything I needed, plus assortment of teas was a lovely touch! The private external was was just enough for one person and having it seperate from the room turned out not to be an issue at all. Glynna who runs this lovely place was an amazing host, breakfast in the morning is very accessible for those with allergies or dietary requirements. A selection of options was available from Cereal and fruit, to a full Breakfast. Glynna was a great help to when I needed advice on how to get to different places especially as I tend to walk whenever I can. Overall this was the perfect choice for a little escape for a few days. I’d definitely recommend it to whoever I could!
