    Perfect host, location and stay!

    • Room 7 River view (Second Floor)
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We had a lovely stay at Lyndhurst Guest House. The room was spacious and clean, the bed very, very comfortable, we had a view of the river, ensuite bathroom and shower, free WiFi, tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided in the room along with the kettle, mugs etc... Yvonne was lovely! Instructions to enter upon arrival were clear and she was in correspondence with us in the days prior. She had our continental breakfast prepared on time on the days we requested and she made sure that we were comfortable during our entire stay. The High Street is just up the road and transportation links to Windermere, Keswick, Grasmere and Bowness are nearby at Kendal bus depot which is within walking distance to Lyndhurst. There is also a few bus stops near Lyndhurst Guest House which were ever so convenient to head straight to Windemere or to Haverwaithe to get the steam engine train to Lakeside (for the aquarium and ferry). We had no issue with riding public transportation to the tourist spots. The area was quiet as well as the guest house. There were other guest but we never heard or saw them. I will definitely return and stay here again! Many thanks to Yvonne for making us feel so welcome and for such wonderful hospitality.

    Lovely greeting and felt very welcome in Yvonnes guest house. Rooms clean and tidy.We were attending a wedding and Yvonne made sure we could iron our clothes and even the little sewing kit in the room was a lifesaver for some clothing.

    We had a lovely stay at Lyndhurst Guest House. Yvonne was a really friendly, helpful host. We loved the ethos of hand-crafted and second-hand. Our room was great, spacious and comfortable, easy access to town, view of the river, a few minutes walk to overnight. electric car charging. Delicious home-made biscuits in the room and excellent continental breakfast (option extra, but very reasonable price).

    There was nothing that I didn't like.

    Yvonne is a wonderful host. She is personable, friendly & so, so helpful. I really enjoyed chatting with her (and also meeting her sweet little dog, Scout), and I had a brilliant stay at her lovely guesthouse. It's situated in a very quiet area a short distance from the town centre. The room I stayed in was perfect, spotlessly clean & had everything I needed, including a very comfy bed. I slept like a log throughout my stay. It also had a view of the river, which was really nice. There were also lovely little touches in the room like crocheted items, and homemade biscuits on arrival. I would definitely book to stay here again if I was ever back in the area.

    The host was helpful, kind, and extremely reliable and communicative. I appreciated the fact that the host thoughtfully notified us in advance about all relevant information and arrangements about checking in, keys, etc. Apart from the host’s great suggestions during the visit, we also benefited from the spacious and tidy amenities. The property is close to the town centre with a range of eateries and shopping centres.

    Difficult to find fault considering the relatively low price.

    Location within easy walking distance of the Kendal town centre walking alongside the river Kent. Nice large comfortable bed. Excellent shower. Spotlessly fresh and clean accommodation and quiet location. Breakfast (£7.50) was good value too.

    The room was a bit small.

    Yvonne could not have been more helpful both before and during our visit, to the extent of running after us down the street when we left with a forgotten tube of toothpaste. Lots of nice touches such as home made biscuits , water with lemon slice etc.
