If it’s good enough for the Middleton family, it’s probably good enough for your family too!
Much has been documented about the Middleton family recently and, in particular, their love of the English Lake District. Even the new Middleton family coat of arms depicts it: the gold chevron in the centre represents Kate’s mother whose maiden name is Goldsmith whilst the white chevrons either side are said to symbolise the family’s love of mountains and, in particular, the Lake District.
The Lake District is arguably the most beautiful corner of England, its beauty having been documented for many generations by the likes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, among others.
And, according to an official biography, Kate’s love of hill walking continues to this day – a pastime that is also enjoyed by Prince William who makes regular visits to the county himself, as well as being Patron of Mountain Rescue England and Wales.
Anyone wanting to follow in the footsteps of the Middleton family for their own family holiday should consider our accommodation – it is ideally situated between two of England’s most beautiful national parks: the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Our luxurious riverside apartment can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 and has still has some availability for the Summer holidays.

The young male Pavan was one of two snow leopards to play the role and is now housed is an walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, Milnthorpe, just a 20-minute drive from Kendal.
The Castle Dairy on Wildman Street in Kendal is one of Kendal’s oldest buildings, and just a short walk from our holiday accommodation. It dates back to the 14th Century and is currently owned by South Lakeland Council which has secured funding to give it a £160,000 makeover to turn it into a gallery and restaurant. The Grade I listed building will be transformed into an art gallery with a patisserie over a three-month period and will thereafter be a project that is run by Kendal College.
