A good place to stay in central Kendal. Unfortunately for us we chose a room with a relatively small bed. The bed was comfy but should have chosen a room with a King size bed, Excellent breakfast and kind and friendly staff

Not too bad

The hotel was clean & the staff were fantastic. The only comments i'd make is that the rooms need a bit of a facelift. Could do with plug sockets near the bed and a smart tele with access to on demand tv would be great! Breakfast wasn't fantastic.. buffet style but the food was fairly cold & slow to come out so wouldn't say that it was great value for money. Although the evening meal was fab, drink selection ok & youre only a stone throw away from a wider range of places to eat & drink. Would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Cleanliness wasn't great

The bed sheets had marks on them as well what i can only presume were dog hairs. The towels also had marks on them too. On top of this, when i called down to reception at 21:45 - 15mins before they leave, it took 6 attempts to have someone answer which after a short wait, someone called me back

Hotel is in a good position to the centre of town and restaurants. Free parking at hotel. Pool was fine. Hotel was a bit tired in bits, however the bar area had been recently renovated and was nice. The buffet breakfast was a bit basic and gluten options were poor.

Disliked: Room comfort
The beds are too small, the mattresses too soft and the room was uncomfortably warm despite the heating being off. Breakfast was decidedly average. The bacon on the breakfast was incredibly hard, when i requested fresh bacon what they brought out was exactly the same. How hard is it to cook bacon??
