I had great times being a guest through airbnb before I began hosting and I want my guests to have a great time being here too. I like meeting people and finding out about their lives and travels. I live separately so guests can relax and enjoy the privacy of their own home from home. But I'm also only next door so I'm usually on hand to offer advice about places to go or if you need help or there is anything which needs sorting out. I also have friends who help me with cleaning and they are close by too if by any chance I'm out of town.
Kendal is a market town on the edge of the Lake District. It isn't very big but it's safe and it's pretty with a river running through it and plenty of greenery and tranquility at the castle ruin. There's plenty to do and an active art, music and beer scene with a number of microbreweries. Plus the all the that the Lakes has to offer is on the doorstep.
Kendal has two excellent and renowned annual festivals.
The International Comic Arts Festival in October which again involves the whole town and celebrates all things graphic, cartoon and animé
The Kendal Mountain Festival in November for those interested in the outdoors and climbing, film, photography and other cultures.
Also look out for Lakes Alive annually at the beginning of September.
Houghton House is about 5 mins walk from the centre of town and 10mins from Kendal train station. If you're driving there is roadside parking outside the house.
Kendal is easily accessible from the M6 and has a mainline rail station Oxenholme Lake District with direct trains to London Euston 2.5 hours. There is a local rail link, 5 mins to Staveley (which has a nice pub the Eagle and Child) and about 15 mins to Windermere. There are also regular buses and boats to take you into the heart of the Lakes. Check out the Mountain Goat website and Stagecoach for timetables.
This is self catering accommodation with its own access so guests have complete independence to come and go as they please. I'm usually on hand either in person or by phone to offer advice about places to go and if you need help or there is anything which needs sorting out. I also have friends who help me with cleaning and they are close by too if by any chance I'm out of town.
We try to make sure tea and coffee are available in the apartment. But this is self catering accommodation, guests arriving on a Sunday please keep in mind that the supermarkets close at 4pm. There is a Tesco express in town which is open daily until 11pm and there are one or two convenience stores which are usually open until 9pm but they only sell basics.
No Parties
No Smoking
Pets are welcome - Please be aware that the dog are not allowed on the furniture or beds, left in the house alone for a long period of time.
