While Prospect Cottage offers a tranquil base for exploring the area, it is important to note that the property is not suitable for individuals with limited mobility due to the steep cobbled paths and steps leading to the entrance. The cottage is accessible via 15 steps down from the road and an additional 5 steps up to the entrance. Families traveling with young children can request a travel cot and highchair for added convenience. Overall, Prospect Cottage combines comfort, charm, and an enviable location for a memorable stay in the heart of Kendal.
