We decided to stay at Balcony House as we had previously stayed at a hotel in Kendal and been disappointed. We have never stayed in a B&B - and this was the perfect introduction (though I suspect it will prove hard to beat). Mandy and Brian are lovely: they made sure that we had a space to park our car...

We'd like to thank everyone who has written us a recent review. We appreciate it very much. I do try to reply to everyone personally via email. We've nearly completed our re- furb. Room 1 is closed this week for a complete change and that will be all our rooms newly decorated and carfinished in 2013. More

A very welcoming B&B. Beautifully furnished main bedroom, comfortable and very clean. Couldn't think of a single facility that wasn't provided. Lounge available for guests to use. Pubs and restaurants within walking distrance. Ideal stop for touring the area and walkers. Great breakfast.

We were looking for a short break in the Lakes at fairly short notice. I read all the reviews on here about Balcony House and was very impressed so booked it for the last night of our stay. Wish we could have stayed all weekend but unfortunately left it too late when booking! What a way to finish off our... More

Stayed for the Spring Bank weekend. Accomation, food and weather were absolutely splendid. We give it top marks and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering a stay in Kendal. Thanks to Mandy and Brian to make our stay so pleasant and we will definitely be returning in future.

Very comfortable rooms, with little extras and personal touches. A breakfast that sets you up for an active day. Great hosts who are both friendly and helpful, make this your 1st choice for a visit to Kendal

I booked into Balcony House because it was near to where I was working that week. What an absolute delight. I was so well looked after that by the end of my stay I felt like I had known Mandy and Brian all my life. They did not intrude but they where there ready to help and advise whenever I... More

For some reason my review did not register. Anyhow, stayed in March again and this place just gets better. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, its like going to see family. The warm welcome, the lovely breakfast as always and the hosts of Mandy and Brian compliment each other. Yet again with my work have been... More

I was amazed at what was offered for the price at this guest house. It is within reasonable walking distance of town (with offers of a lift into town and special offers to restaurants), has the most comfortable bed with en suite bathroom (room 1) and even a sofa! There are lots of very thoughtful touches like an iron and... More

We stayed here for 1 night as we were walking the Dales Way. What a lovely B&B. That day's walk finished about 1 mile from the B&B and would have meant we walked along a busy road. When we called Brian and Mandy, they were very accommodating and agreed to collect us from the end of the walk, which was... More
