Our Lounge

Cortillo Lounge is on Stricklandgate in the heart of Kendal. We’re next to, and over, Redmayne’s Yard – one of Kendal’s many historic and famous Yards. You can’t miss our pretty pinky-purple exterior, and inside is just as lovely with handsome tiles, rich floral wallpaper, vintage lighting and lots and lots of paintings.

You could say we’ve gone the whole nine Yards.
