With the Lake District and ocean within easy reach to the west and the Pennines to the east, Kendal is the ideal holiday destination for families who want a bit of everything in their holiday. The home of Kendal Mint Cake, the town is located on the south side of the Lake District. It is bursting with cafés and shops, a small town perhaps, but with a lot to give being so accessible for Lake Windemere and the southern lakes.
Book a luxury rural retreat for two at Hollins Farm Barn in New Hutton, near the idyllic town of Kendal, Gateway to the Lake District. Gothic-style bedrooms whose crook beams and exposed stonework await the lucky couple coming for a honeymoon or a romantic weekend/week-long holiday.
