Great location in centre of kendal whilst we attended brewery Arts barely a minute walk away. Room was clean and the breakfast was included in the price and was tasty. Though the gap to get past the end of the bed was small, the bed was super king size and comfortable. Despite being in centre of town we were tucked away from any noise from the street. Shower tray filled quickly during our showers so perhaps drain blockage and the tray felt very springy underfoot, perhaps time to replace. Although the ad said parking was complimentary there isn't any parking anymore and we had to pay elsewhere. Luckily we got one of the last spaces at brewery Arts, but to stay for the evening and next morning cost us £6.

The rooms are clean but small. Hard to get around the bed to the closet. It came with full English Breakfast which was a great value. Friendly staff, comfortable bed. No parking, though, so we had to hike to a car park every day as we took trips away from the city center, like Kendall Castle ruins.

A great wee find. Centrally located and perfect for gigs at Brewery Arts (a 3 minute walk away). The rooms are at the back, so there is no noise disturbance at all. Staff were lovely and helpful but not overbearing. Rooms are spacious, and the bed was large and comfy. And breakfast was included; a lovely, freshly cooked breakfast, not a soggy breakfast which has been on a hot plate for 3 hours. I think this may become a regular spot for weekend gigs in Kendal. Thanks to everyone at The Shakespeare Inn.

This is a cute place with friendly staff. It was easy to find. It’s well-located. The full or continental breakfast is included, which saves us time, money, and hassle.

Perfect in every way. The team at The Shakespeare are the best. The archway you need to drive through to the car park is tight, but the team were fab at navigating you in. All part of the charm.
