Welcome
Dating from 1844 Hollin Root farm is a typical lakeland farmhouse set in beautiful open countryside with land down to the river. We are situated in Garth Row, three miles north of the market town of Kendal, just off the A6 and on the edge of the Lake District National Park.
Its large landscaped gardens make this an ideal place for longer stays and a good base from which to explore the Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales ( Lake Windermere is only 8 miles away ).We are popular as a stopover between England and Scotland.
On the Ground Floor we have a spacious, flexible Double/Twin/family with en-suite facilities. The room has tea/coffee making facilities and colour TV with freeview channels. We have a large private car park for guests use, next to the farmhouse.
There are excellent eating out venues in nearby Kendal and surrounding areas. We serve excellent full English or Continental breakfasts with our own fresh free range eggs and home made preserves. Packed lunches are available and we also cater for vegetarians. Children of all ages are very welcome and we also allow pets to come stay with us after prior arrangement.
Hollin Root Farm is where you are assured of a warm welcome. We are open all year round and are a non smoking establishment.

About Kendal
Kendal is a small town in Cumbria, England. It is the largest town in the district of South Lakeland and the historic boundary of Westmorland and also the third largest town in the county of Cumbria (after Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness).
Kendal is listed in the Domesday Book as part of Yorkshire with the name Cherchbi.. For many centuries it was called Kirkbie Kendal, meaning "village with a church in the valley of the River Kent". The earliest castle was a Norman motte and bailey (now located on the west side of the town) when the settlement went under the name of Kirkbie Strickland.
Kendal is known today chiefly for Kendal mint cake, a glucose-based type of confectionery reputedly discovered accidentally by Joseph Wiper during his search for the clear glacier mint. |
