We had a fantastic 3-night stay at Lily Bank with our family of five, ranging in age from 22 to 83. The property exceeded our expectations and would comfortably accommodate a much larger group — easily 10 people.The location was brilliant. It’s just a short walk into Staveley, with shops, cafés and pubs close by, while Kendal is only a short drive away for major shops, restaurants and a great choice of activities.The house was spotlessly clean, with plenty of en-suite bathrooms, lots of indoor and outdoor seating areas, beautiful gardens and amazing views. There was also loads of parking and the games room was a lovely added touch. Although there is only one TV, this wasn’t an issue for us at all as there was so much space and plenty to enjoy.We also had a private chef experience during our stay, and Lily Bank was absolutely perfect for this. The spacious kitchen, dining and seating areas made it a wonderful setting for a special family meal.The gardens are beautiful, although being surrounded by such lovely greenery does mean there are quite a lot of insects, some of which made their way into the house. During the warmer summer months, air conditioning could also be a useful addition.Communication with the host was excellent throughout, making everything easy and stress-free.Overall, a beautiful, spacious and very well-equipped property in a fantastic location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend.
