Susan October 2023

“I had a great time staying in this comfortable and well equipped apartment.”

Very convenient for visiting the Lake District and northern Lancashire. Close to excellent bus route north to Keswick and south to Lancaster.

Nicola October 2023

“Loved every bit of our stay.”

The property was beautiful and had everything you needed. Perfect space for two. All the little touches by the owner made it even more special. The biscuit's and Kendal mint cake welcome gift and the little soaps and chocolate were so special. Also providing the tea coffee and chocolate made it feel like a hotel stay. The only thing that stopped it getting top marks for comfort was the mattress on the bed it was a bit uncomfortable but even that didn’t spoil our stay. It was perfect and the owners were helpful and friendly. Especially as we forgot some keys and they phoned us immediately so we could go back and get them. We will definitely book to stay again on our next visit to the lakes. Thank you Dawn and Simon, hopefully see you again soon.

“In general we had a pleasant enough stay and the holiday accommodation was fit for purpose, although it was a bit smaller than I had realised from photo.”

It could benefit from having a full length wardrobe. The sink in the toilet was rather small so a little challenging when washing a brushing your teeth although I realise space is limited with the door but possibly moving the cupboard onto the other wall would help? Possibly regrouting in the shower but this probably happens at the end of the season. The weather was not great the week we stayed so probably spent more time in the accommodation than we would normally when we visit the Lake District. The owners were very kind and left Kendal mint cake, biscuits, tea/coffee and fruit and this was appreciated. Thank you

- Tom, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback this is always helpful. We would like to reassure you that the grouting and tiles are cleaned carefully at every changeover; the grouting is grey as this colour goes well with the grey bathroom tiling. We are sorry about the weather and appreciate that sunshine and blue sky would be ideal for everyone! Property Owner

“Horncop Nook is a lovely little property.”

It has everything you need for a nice relaxing stay. The location is perfect, only about 10mins away from the centre of Kendal and some great little eateries. The property is clean, comfy and has loads of great quirky storage areas. This was our second visit to Horncop Nook and we enjoyed every minute. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be going back.

Jessica April 2023

“We had a great stay at the Horncop Nook.”

It was a great location to walk into Kendal and to drive to other areas in the Lake District (most of the main places to see were a max. 45 minute drive). The nook was very clean & felt very homely. Thank you.

- Jessica, April 2023
Jane April 2023

“The Hornkop Nook has everything you need for a brilliant stay.”

Everything was spotlessly clean, and there were lovely little touches, like the fresh eggs from the owners' chickens, biscuits, and even eco-friendly loo paper! It was conveniently placed for Kendal centre and close to many walks. We had to contact owner with a minor query and they were very helpful. We would stay there again.

- Jane, April 2023
Ash March 2023

“Property was perfect, just what we needed.”

The little touches like the nice teas and coffees, eggs, soaps, chocolate, Kendal mint cake and biscuits made us feel welcome and at home. Property is situated in an excellent location for exploring the Lakes. Only tiny issue was that the velux blinds were really hard to close.

- Ash, March 2023
Simon March 2023

“Fabulous place to stay and a great base to explore the Lakes from.”

It was cosy, warm and everything was well thought out, with a comfy bed, lovely shower room, great kitchen with everything you could need to self cater. The local town was literally a 10 minute walk away with coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. There was even a McDonalds if that’s your thing. The cottage Wi-Fi was perfectly good and TV/Radio as well as some books about the area. Not forgetting the nice little personal touches on arrival Kendal Mint Cake, Cookies, Fresh eggs, plenty of tea and coffee as well as some great quality toiletries and a chocolate added to the overall feel good factor. Would we stay here again-most definitely yes and we would have no hesitation on recommending this cottage to our friends and family. Thank you Dawn for your attention to detail and warm welcome on arrival.

- Simon, March 2023

It was easy to find and get parked up.

Martin July 2021

“What a very clever modernisation of an outbuilding.”

The place was brilliantly decorated, with excellent facilities, an impressive kitchen and shower, and one of the most comfortable beds we've slept in. Most impressed. The little touches of locally produced soaps, coffee, eggs etc were most welcome Kendal is well placed to stay, as most of the popular towns are very busy, but only a short drive (or excellent bus) away. The town itself is an interesting place to visit in its own right. Would definitely return again.

- Martin, July 2021

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.
