Situated on the second floor of one of Kendal's oldest buildings, you will delight at the retained character of the building, including the original beams, wonky walls and ceilings! The magnificent building on Blackhall Yard dates back to 1575 when it was used as the residence for Kendal's first Alderman, who functioned as a Mayor, although the term "Mayor" wasn't to be used since Kendal had not yet received its Market Charter. The building was also used as a brush marking factory until 1945, when it became a grocery shop. The Bristly Hog statue figure on the exterior wall was erected during this time and has remained ever since. The gorgeous apartment is situated on the second floor of the building, above the fantastic Bristly Hog Coffee Shop, making it an ideal self-catering apartment in the centre of Kendal. While mentioning the Bristly Hog Coffee Shop downstairs, we highly recommend visiting, whether for a coffee or something to eat. They offer a superb full breakfast menu Monday to Saturday, 9:00 - 16:30, as well as a number of other dishes! For evening meals, try one of the many restaurants in the Town. Library View Apartment will provide an ideal base for couples or families and business travellers to the area. A parking permit allows you to park one car for free in the car park across the road. ACCOMMODATION SUMMARY A king-size double bedroom with a separate seating area and views of the front of the building.​ A twin bedroom with views to the rear of the building and Blackhall Yard. Living room with electric fire, two comfortable two-seater sofas, dining table, 50" Smart TV and a DVD player. Modern family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin with shaver point and a loo. Complimentary shampoo, soap and conditioner are provided. Kitchen off the living room with modern appliances, including an induction hob, oven, microwave, toaster and a coffee machine (with a fresh supply of coffee beans). Under counter fridge with freezer box and a dishwasher. Pots, pans, crockery and cutlery. THINGS TO NOTE: Pets are not permitted. Neither smoking nor vaping are permitted inside the property. A complimentary parking permit for one vehicle only is provided. This allows you to park across the road for free in the Library Road car park. Bed linen, towels and a starter supply of essentials are provided for guests. This property is decorated at Christmas, including a tree, lights and baubles. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

A lovely apartment which had all the character of a period property but is equipped with all the mod cons and decorated really well. We all loved this stay and were grateful for such a lovely place to stay after days out in the hills and around the lakes. Absolutely spotless and with everything we needed over our stay. We enjoyed the breakfast in the cafe downstairs each morning which was delicious and set us up for our days out. Absolutely recommended staying here and when we return to this area will definitely be looking to book again. ##### Paul S.
