Our places in Kendal
There are 19 places in Kendal, and they range from compact two-bedroom lodges to large houses with nine bedrooms. The usual night is well above what you would pay for a small cabin, because the larger places weigh on the typical figure. The cheapest night found is much lower, so smaller groups do have options. Winter weeks cost a little less than weeks outside winter. Most places have a garden, which helps if you are travelling with children or a dog.
Kendal's lodges lean towards large groups. The typical place sleeps about 12, the biggest takes 48, and most have a garden. That suits family gatherings, birthdays and friends splitting a weekend, more than a couple after a small cabin for two.
Prices vary a lot here. The usual night is high because big houses with many bedrooms pull the figure up, yet a few smaller lodges for four to six people cost far less. About 79% have a hot tub and the same share have a log burner, so both are easy to find. Around a quarter have a sauna, and just over half accept pets. Guests rate the places about 9.5 out of 10, which is high for a spread of this size. If your group is small, filter by sleeping capacity first, as that changes the cost more than any single feature.
Features
Every place has a garden, and about four in five have a hot tub, a log burner and a high chair. Fishing is offered at just over half. Saunas are rarer, at about a quarter, and they sit with the dearest places, as do fishing sites. A swimming pool is found at only two, and those are cheaper than the typical hot tub stay. BBQs appear at about one in five. If a hot tub is your main aim, you have plenty to choose from. If you want a sauna, expect to pay noticeably more.

By number of guests
Lodges for five or six guests are the cheapest band, usually costing far less a night than larger ones and working out the lowest per person. Places for seven to nine are dearer per person than the biggest group, which is the odd result here. If you have a group of about ten, compare a large house with two smaller lodges before you book.
Prices move only a little from November to April. February is the dearest month in this period, and January and November are among the cheapest. December sits a bit above the usual level, which fits the festive trade. March and April are close to the cheaper months, and more dates are free then. Availability is tightest in November and December, so book earlier for those. For a last-minute stay, spring and January leave the most choice.
