History: The earliest known record of the building is a map, dating back to 1758, showing two separate buildings. Later records from 1833 show that "M Forrest" owned the buildings - hence the name Forrest's Yard.
Twenty years later, in 1853, records show both buildings as one, suggesting that building work was carried out to join the two together. Records also show the new owner as Mr George Forrest, who was a surgeon and also the twice-elected Local Town Mayor.
Now, Grade II Listed, the property has been carefully refurbished to a high standard, while retaining many of the original features.

This spacious property is in a great location in the centre of Kendal. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and local sights. It was great to be able to park our car on site. Lots of space so great for families.
Fabulous apartment, great for a group of adults . Home from home. Very central and ideal for our action packed street choirs weekend. Spacious and well decorated.
Great option for a larger group looking to stay in town
A large property perfectly for bigger groups who wish the convenience of staying in town and walking to everything they need. For example, coffee right next door, multiple markets close by, about a dozen restaurants and take out close by. Big kitchen and table if you wish to cook with enough kitchen tools and pots and pans to make everything work. We had a little trouble finding the place despite its front door being on main street due to trying to follow Google maps as recommended. A quick call to the property manager solved the issue immediately, and she accurately directed us to a back door with the keyboxes after which we had no issues. Great property, perfect location in town.
