Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness is a concern, with multiple reviews mentioning the need for a deep clean, presence of mould, and unclean bathrooms. Some guests arrived to find the property had not been cleaned prior to their stay.

The location is highly praised for its convenience to the town centre, public transport, and local attractions. Despite some comments about road noise, the central location is a standout positive feature.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the living space adequate. However, some furniture is reported as shabby or uncomfortable, and noise from a busy road is noted.

Facilities are deemed adequate but in need of updating and maintenance. Issues with kitchen equipment, mould, and a non-functioning vacuum cleaner are mentioned. The property is equipped with essentials but requires attention.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

About this property

Once one of Kendal's oldest pubs, now converted into a development of lovely flats, Flat 2 Galloway House is a ground-floor apartment set over two levels at the centre of the bustling market town in Cumbria. Lying within the South Lakeland District, you are not far from the glorious Lake District National Park to the west and the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the east, this property would be perfect for avid walkers and those who love the outdoors, but want to be central to lots of amenities. It is considered ground-floor but the property is accessed via a set of steps up, then into the property find the open-plan dining and sitting room, a large corner sofa sits inviting you to recline and put your feet up in front of the wall-mounted TV, or rest at the contemporary dining area with stylish bar stools with a glass of wine. Travel down around five steps from here into the kitchen, where you can make use of the excellent appliances for preparing tasty meals. Further along is the sparkling white bathroom, complete with a shower over bath, while you must continue back through the property to get to the welcoming bedrooms. Both double rooms, they are equipped with gorgeous oak furniture of excellent quality so you have plenty of room to store your belongings. The whole property is furnished to a wonderful degree with pleasant decor. Of course a major plus is that the shops, pubs and restaurants are just a few minutes away, and you are central to the town of Kendal. The town has lots to offer; when it comes to learning of the local history, there are several museums scattered around the centre including Kendal Museum containing natural history collections, the Quaker Tapestry Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry, perfect for a rainy day out! When the sun is shining make sure to get out into the open, explore the amazing Lake Windermere, the UKs longest lake and hire a boat to see the wonderful mountains and fells from the water. Flat 2 Galloway House can offer you a brilliant base from which to explore this amazing area of the UK.

Kendal is a market town in the South Lakeland District of Cumbria, lying 8-miles south-east of Windermere. It is the third largest town in Cumbria after Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. Famous for its 'Kendal mint cake' so popular with all those walkers who flock to the lakes, it is a wonderful place to base yourself to have both the lively town, as well as beautiful countryside surroundings.

  • Sue

    Beds really squeaky. Location is good if you are on foot, but parking is a nightmare if you arrive with a car. Wouldn't return in a hurry.

  • Xiao

    Com said that it has a free parking space, that was the main reason why I chose to stay here. But it was not the case - after paying, we got another email from the Sykes saying that we had to park somewhere else and payment incurred. Strong smell of damp when we first entered. The oven was not cleaned and oily everywhere. The rooms and bathroom were fine.

  • Paul

    50 per week per car. As you can imagine we were not best pleased and feel we should have been informed before arriving at the property. Accommodation was comfortable but needed a TLC. Would be grateful for your comments reference parking.
