Library View Apartment is a stylish Grade II Listed, two-bedroom self-catering apartment in Kendal town centre that has been furnished to a very high standard. Situated on the second floor of one of Kendals oldest buildings, you will delight at the retained character of the building, including the original beams, wonky walls and ceilings!

The magnificent building on Blackhall Yard dates back to 1575 when it was used as the residence for Kendal's first Alderman who functioned as a Mayor, although the term "Mayor" wasn't to be used since Kendal had not yet received its Market Charter. The building was also, for a time, used as a Brush Marking Factory until 1945 when it became a Grocer's shop. The Bristly Hog on the exterior wall was erected during this time and has remained ever since. Now the first two floors are occupied by the Bristly Hog Coffee Shop, and the third floor that of the apartment making it an ideal self-catering apartment in the centre of Kendal.

If you don't fancy cooking, then we highly recommend the popular Bristly Hog Coffee Shop downstairs! They offer a superb full breakfast menu Monday to Saturday 9:00 - 16:00 and Sunday 10:30 - 15:30 as well as a number of other dishes! For evening meals, try one of the many restaurants in the Town.

The apartment includes:


A kingsize double bedroom with a separate seating area and views to the front of the building.​
A twin bedroom with views to the rear of the building and Blackhall Yard.
Living room with electric fire, two very comfortable two-seater sofa's, dining table, 50" Smart TV and a DVD player.
Modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin with shaver point and a loo. Complimentary shampoo, soap and conditioner are provided.
Kitchen off the living room with modern appliances including an induction hob, oven, microwave, toaster and a coffee machine. Undercounter fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. Pots, pans, crockery and cutlery.
Towels and bedding are included in the rental price as well as complimentary WiFi.


Library View Apartment will provide an ideal base for couples or families, as well as business travellers to the area. A parking permit is provided to allow you free parking across the road.

The apartment covered all our needs being spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location worked well for us being central to Kendal but also close to the central fells. The one way system was a little confusing, but was expected and explained and parking was always available. A very enjoyable stay - thanks.

Very spacious apartment with everything you need. Master bedroom is enormous. Perfect location, just 15 mins drive to Windermere. Ate out twice in Kendal which was lovely. Had breakfast at the Bristly Hog underneath which was fab. 100% recommend. Parking permit was a bonus

We arrived for a short family weekend away and stayed in this beautiful appartment. It's on the second floor above a lovely cafe where we had breakfast (which we highly recommend!) Great place to explore from and right in the middle of all the amenties you will need. Only thing to note is because of its location there is outside noise (we stayed Friday night to Monday morning). It was present early morning and late night (ended around 11ish). Didn't bother us but maybe something to factor in. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it!

Cosy, clean, modern apartment right in the center of Kendal. Big rooms, perfect for a family of four like us with 2 teenage boys. Ideal location for pubs/cafes/shops/car park (permit was provided by the apartment owner). Would recommend.

A quirky apartment, comfortably furnished in a good location with easy free parking close by. We had a great breakfast in the cafe below and were able to easily explore all the Lake District has to offer. Would recommend.

Lovely flat above a lovely cafe (The Bristley Hog). Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Plenty of room for two adults and two teens. Some lovely touches, such as free parking and a few essentials provided in the kitchen. We all loved it.
