Lyndhurst Guest House - Premium Accommodation in Kendal, Cumbria

The guest house runs on eco-friendly initiatives including low food waste, recycling, and energy-saving practices that involve guests in creative ways. Free parking is available on the street outside (6pm to 8am), and the lounge offers deep armchairs, a TV with DVD player, and a selection of magazines and maps of the Lake District. Each room is equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, homemade biscuits, and a hot water bottle for cooler evenings.

All rooms are en-suite with complimentary toiletries and many offer picturesque views of the River Kent from the second floor. Room 6 and Room 7 are river-view rooms with large comfortable beds and quirky decor that reflects local history, including crocheted items and button light switches. Each room also has a flat-screen TV, hairdryer, and a small sewing kit for guest use.

Lyndhurst Guest House sits on a quiet one-way street alongside the River Kent, a 5-minute walk from Kendal's bustling market town centre.

The guest house is also within easy reach of the Lake District National Park entrance, Yorkshire Dales, and Morecambe Bay, with bus stops near the property for connections to Windermere and Bowness.

A continental breakfast is available at an extra cost (£7.50) and can accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free requests. Breakfast is served in the charming dining room, and guests also receive fresh coffee delivered to their room at a preferred time. The homemade shortbread and biscuits provided in each room are baked daily by the host.
