Collinfield Manor Bed & Breakfast

Collinfield manor, which is only just over one mile from Kendal town centre, was once part of the jointure of Queen Katherine Parr, the last of King Henry VIII's six wives.

It was also once the occasional residence of Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery and favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, who rebuilt many churches and almshouses in the area and whose initials are on the lock on the huge original oak entrance door. Her great picture Trityph can be seen at the Abbot Hall museum in Kendal.

The manor has a countryside feel with its delightful gardens and Westmorland chimneys. Next to beautiful parkland and set back well from main roads, the manor is grand but welcoming.

There are two double bedrooms, each with Freesat TV/DVD and generous welcome trays. The tranquil Clifford Room: £70 per night, including breakfast, and the large grand Sedgwick Room: £85 per night, including breakfast.

After a refreshing night's sleep a hearty home-cooked breakfast made with fresh local produce can be enjoyed in the medieval dining room with its oak panelled walls, priest hole, spice cupboard and views over the garden.

Evening meals, Sunday lunches and picnics can be provided by arrangement and special occasions can be catered for.

Kendal, famous for its mintcake, is a lively historic market town, boasting good quality shops, cafes and restaurants and hosting exciting events such as Mintfest, Kendal Torchlight Carnival, Kendal Festival of Food, Lakes Chilli Fest, the Westmorland Show and more. The Brewery Arts Centre is highly recommended, for theatre, cinema, food and drink and music. Also well worth a visit are the 1657 Chocolate shop, K Village retail outlet, Sizergh Barn shop and cafe just outside Kendal and Country Harvest delicatessen and cafe, near Ingleton.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
