About The Location
Windermere 8-miles; Ambleside 13-miles

Known as the Gateway to the Lakes, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent with streets branching outward from the central high street. Kendal is well known for its many Yards that are home to residents and shops alike. Perched on the hill, overlooking Kendal is the 12th century Kendal Castle ruins, a popular walking area with great views. The castle is also home to various events throughout the year including the annual kite festival. Kendal provides a great choice of restaurants, bars, many of which serve great real ales, and cafes. The Abbot Hall Art Gallery is popular with visitors and holds portraits by Kendal-born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin. The gallery also hosts various exhibitions throughout the year.

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.

Otter View was the perfect cottage getaway for us and our young child. Everything we needed was at the accommodation and we were in good proximity to all attractions and sights we wanted to visit during our stay. We would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here. Thank you :)

Thank you for such a wonderful stay - we loved our visit to Otter View. Easy to find with good parking, a short walk along the river from the town centre and milk in the fridge for a cuppa when we arrived! Fluffy towels, a modern bathroom and comfy bed. Ideal for a long weekend away exploring the Lake District.
