The Old Church on Tanners Yard, located in Kendal, Cumbria, is a unique accommodation option that comprises two high-spec, eco-friendly two-bedroom apartments. These apartments are linked by a private secure hallway and are situated in Tanners Yard, a charming pedestrian lane that connects Highgate to the River Kent. The building has a rich history, having originally been a bakery owned by local confectioner Walter Rigg in the 1920s before being transformed into a church and later sold in 2019. The current owner has successfully renovated the property, maintaining its original facade while creating modern living spaces ideal for families or groups of up to eight guests.
Apartment 1, located on the ground floor, features two spacious bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two single beds, including a trundle bed that can accommodate an additional guest upon request.

The apartment boasts underfloor heating, a fully integrated kitchen with modern appliances, a dining table for six, and a cozy breakfast bar. Additional amenities include a utility room, a 50-inch Smart TV, WiFi access, and a private entrance, along with space for bikes and outdoor gear.
Apartment 2 is situated on the first floor and mirrors the layout of Apartment 1, featuring two large bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one bathroom offering an over-bath shower. This apartment is equipped with Intelirad smart electric heaters and a fully integrated kitchen similar to its ground floor counterpart. Guests will find a dining area, a clothes dryer, and the same entertainment options, including a Smart TV and WiFi. The secure entrance provides added comfort, ensuring a private and safe environment for guests, with convenient bike storage and coat hooks available.
Guests at The Old Church can expect a range of thoughtful amenities, including provided bedding and towels, as well as a starter supply of essentials.
