"Great stay, at a good hotel. The room was clean and had everything in it a hotel room needed, the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC and a proper shower instead of a bath and shower. Staff were lovely and helpful letting us park a bit earlier so we could have a walk around Kendal before check in. Lovely swimming and leisure facilities too! Breakfast was good both mornings as well. Overall a great hotel for a few days stay in Kendal !"

"This is an old style country house hotel. As such it will probably not be to everyone's personal taste (e.g.perhaps decor a bit dark) but we thought this hotel was excellent. Service, breakfast both super. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and, importantly, has (free) car parking facilities. Would have no hesitation in staying here again."
