12/09/2007 - Coniston Challenge

Recent Lyndhurst guests Maxine, Minty, Alison, Lorna, Katie and Matt, collectively know as the "Beating Chastards" last weekend competed in the Coniston Challenge. Their aim is to raise enough money to fund a guide dog for the blind. They successfully completed the 12 miles cycling in Grisedale Forest, the ascent of the Old Man of Coniston and the kayaking on Coniston - congratulations to them all! You can see them here, at the misty top of the Old Man.

13/06/2007 - The Howett Wedding

This photograph is of the mother of the groom with her three other sons, all of whom stayed with us here at Lyndhurst Guest House. They very much enjoyed their stay, and we very much enjoyed hosting them; below are the words of Mrs Howett, sent to us by e-mail:

Hello Stuart and Yvonne

It was a real pleasure to stay at The Lyndhurst because it’s rare to come across a team as good as you two: you complement each other perfectly and the result is an outstanding B&B that is efficiently run with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Your location in a quiet corner of Kendal but still within easy walking distance of everything was ideal. We had no problems finding you and it was a relief after a long drive to have no problems with parking. The comfort of the rooms and the overall standard of care were very much higher than I had expected and more on a level with a multi-star hotel. However, no hotel could have provided such a pleasant atmosphere and I really liked the way you were often around to pass the time of day, always showing an interest in what we were doing. I was particularly delighted that I could just cross the road and go for an early walk along the river bank, enjoying the clean and sparkling water and the many birds, trees and flowers. Breakfast was a lovely and relaxed time with a menu that was delicious, original and inspired.

I am particularly grateful to you for putting up with all the comings and goings before and on the wedding day and all you did to help and make things easier for us. We had a great time and the fact that you entered into the spirit of it all made a huge difference.

Very many thanks and all good wishes for your continued success.

Jenny Howett

21/05/2007 - Guest Feedback

It is always nice to receive positive feedback from our guests, and we are particularly happy and proud when our efforts are so appreciated that guests are moved to write to tell us. Here is a recent example:

Hi Stuart & Yvonne,

Just to say a big thank you for our stay with you over the week end.

We were made to feel welcome from the minute we walked through the door until the time we left.

The rooms were spotlessly clean and the breakfasts superb. It was nice to feel "part of the family" rather than just a paying guest.

We will be returning to the area again in the future and look forward to staying with you then.

Once again our sincere thanks for looking after us.
