Welcome to Wainwright House - COVID 19 STATEMENT

David and Shirley once again aim to offer all guests a warm welcome at Wainwright House, a high quality bed and breakfast accommodation in our historic home in Kendal, Lake District, Cumbria.

Covid has impacted on so many of us over the last 18 months and we are pleased to be able to return to something very close to normal in our lovely home.  Indeed the only changes we have are that we ask all guests to sanitize their hands on entering the building and wear a mask between the front door and their room (we have one person shielding), and that breakfast is now served direct to guests' rooms as our shared rooms (Breakfast Room and lounge) cannot be made available to guests.

Visitors to Kendal and the Lake District will still enjoy our secluded yet very convenient location just 10 minutes walk from Kendal Station and 15 minutes from the town centre and will appreciate the history of the house, and its close links with Alfred Wainwright, the famous Lake District fell walker, author and illustrator.

Kendal, the Gateway to the Lakes, is a picturesque town on the River Kent. It has an extensive range of facilities including pubs, restaurants, a wide range of shops and countless indoor and outdoor activities.
