Friendly staff and good location

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.

Gem

Modest, clean, quiet, and centrally located this was a gem for Mon and Tue night stay. The shower had great water pressure and very hot water, too. Highly recommend. Two notes: rooms are located near an outdoor seating area with about 10 tables. Imagine weekend crowd might be loud. We thought checkout was 11 but the cleaning service said it was 10. They were very patient as we did last minute shopping to be out by half past.
2-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.
