Stayed here 8 years ago and things have gone downhill badly. The excellent breakfast had been replaced by a paper bag in the fridge and items were missing from 1 bag. Only one double socket on far side of room and one of those sockets was in use for the fridge. No parking any more finished a visit that will not be repeated.

Computer says no.
For unexpected reasons I had to cancel my booking. I gave three days notice but as I was on holiday in Ireland without my computer I had no internet access. I phoned The Shakespeare out of courtesy and was told that there was nothing they could do and I would have to contact Hotels.com direct. I tried to cancel on the website but could find no way of doing so. I see this as a failure of both The Shakespeare and Hotels.com. I am sure the stay would have been excellent. Perhaps between both parties you could agree to transfer the booking to another date. I was really looking forward to the excellent food and drink on offer.

Do you recall Monty Python
Monty Python had a skit called the cheese shop. Analogous to this are the issues I ran into: 1 no coffee for breakfast (the machine is broken) 2 no vegan sausage (the supplier was changed. 3 no one working morning or evening could actually provide tourist information regarding trekking (1 person suggested I google the question).

Enjoyable Stay At The Shakespeare.
Food was freshly cooked and delicious. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay - we even stayed an extra night.

Central location
Right in the middle of Kendal. Rooms are at the rear so very little noise.
Room was satisfactory, bed was big but on one side you sink into the mattress.
Food in the pub was nice, plenty of it and freshly cooked.
No vehicle parking is available, so you have to find a parking space in a local car park which isn't cheap overnight.
WiFi wasn't quite there being patchy and kept dropping out. Suspect that it was amount of people trying to access it.

A great find
Great location and handy for restaurants and the local pub ( which these are part of)
Clean and comfortable- it’s functional and it’s not trying to be high end etc! Great team and very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was adequate. I would stay again when I’m up in Kendal

I did know before coming over that there was no parking in site but it did turn out to be a pain having to get on the car park down the road and at £12 per day it just adds to your stay cost.
Breakfast was nice just a bit greasy for me and toast came to the table cold and hard.
There was no food on for our stay which was inconvenient as I was staying with a child and we had hoped to just eat where we stayed. There are plenty of other places around though.
Staff was really friendly, offered to do the room on second morning and checked if we needed anything. Unfortunately the room had a very strange musty smell the whole time and was mouldy in places, the toilet roll felt damp even with having the fan on in the bathroom. It just wasn't a pleasant smell to have to put up with the whole time and made me feel sick!

Needs some TLC
It is in a brilliant location, and the people who work there are amazing, but unfortunately it needs a lot of work doing on it especially the outside courtyard which is full of weeds and cigarette butts. The paint work is very worn. There was also no food available in the bar as the chef was off, breakfast was lovely though.

Okay stay
Good size room, bedding clean and smelt nice.
Room tatty and in need of upgrade.
Bathroom very poor including loose toilet seat, grouting and shower in need of attention. Bathroom floor peeling up in doorway causing a trip hazard. Window stay in bathroom fell off when we opened the window.
On the plus side staff were lovely. Cooked breakfast a bit over cooked but tasty and good quality. Continental breakfast poor, not much selection.
Would have said all this when we handed the keys back at the end of our stay if we had the opportunity.

Shakespeare Hotel Kendal.
Notification from booking agency failed to specify one room should have been twin bedded. I got the impression it is family run but the owner was very accommodating in that very kindly he provided a spare room at no extra charge. Breakfast was included and was excellent. The hotel is old and quaint but very interesting. Parking is not available on site. The evening restaurant kitchen closes at 2000hrs and the bar closes 2100hrs but there are other restaurants and bars very nearby.

I arrived to find the property was having an IT issue so they couldn't check my booking on screen. That said the girl quickly gave me a key & showed me to the room, which wasn't in the main building but down the yard. The room was spacious & bright, and quiet too which is always good. The breakfast was fairly basic but pleasant enough. One problem with this venue is the lack of parking. There is parking at the Brewery Arts Centre but that's quite a walk if you have heavy bags, and you have to pay.

We arrived after a long drive and found it a little tricky to find parking nearby. Receptionist was very pleasant and told us to go to the Brewery Arts car park but we missed the turn off for this and had to double round again. Please note this is a pay and display carpark
We chose to stay in a family room as it was bigger- beds were comfortable but bathroom flooring by door needs an upgrading.
Breakfast was between 8 and 9
Check out was at 10 am

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.
