Welcome to Wainwright House - COVID 19 STATEMENT

During the Pandemic, B&Bs can only provide accommodation to guests who are deemed to be key workers as specified by the government and need to be away from home for their work, to provide accommodation to the people who would otherwise be homeless (in conjunction with the local authority), and workers who are unable to return to their main residence and are unable to return home safely.

Within these criteria, Wainwright House are prepared to consider bookings in order to assist key workers, including doctors, nurses and other key workers who are helping our nation in its battle with Covid.  However, we cannot guarantee to be able to accept people in all circumstances.  Due to the risks we are unable to provide breakfast and have to insist that any guest engages fully with all requirements about social distancing, hand washing and the wearing of masks.  Also in the event of a suspected infection, the need for self isolation will mean that bookings may have to be cancelled at a moment’s notice without any possibility of assistance in finding alternative accommodation or compensation.  This would of course be regretted and any unused portion of a payment would be refunded, but the current situation makes any other solution impossible.

Despite that once normality returns, David and Shirley will once again aim to offer you a warm welcome at Wainwright House, a high quality bed and breakfast accommodation in our historic home in Kendal, Lake District, Cumbria.

Visitors to Kendal and the Lake District will 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.
