Lovely place in a lovely city. Really friendly staff and the breakfast was a very nice touch! Would recommend anyone who wants a good place for the money. Also a cheap parking lot closeby (2.5 pounds between 18 and 9 which is good for people who want to go to lake district wit car)

A great location and looked after well by the staff. The room was spacious and comfortable and quiet at night so got a good nights sleep, located well for Kendal town centre and to use as a base for exploring the Lake District. Breakfast was tasty and filling too. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Family room

In need of renovation. Old bathroom with damaged fittings and vinyl, worn carpet in bedroom. Not all beds have bedside shelf. Reading light too far away to turn off whilst lying in bed. In family room but only one chair.

Good central base for Kendal, our room was behind the pub off the main road on the ground floor. Car park for fee about 1 minute walk away from the property. Came with a cooked breakfast served by a lovely young lady.

Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The manager was great though leaving in a fortnight. Breakfast did not work for me as it is only between 8am and 9 am. Also no chef the night before so had to go elsewhere for dinner. Pub / Hotel needs and energy drive / boost otherwise it will close. Great city centre location rooms a bit dated and internet phone connection appalling.

Birthday present.

This accommodation was adequate for an overnight stay. We came to Kendal to see a group at a nearby venue. It was only a few minutes away, the parking charges were really good and everything was good. Had a really good time and would definitely do it again.
