Fantastic stay at the Shakespeare Inn
We visited Kendal to see comedian Jason Byrne. We stayed for one night with bed and breakfast, in the Shakespeare Inn and would 100% recommend it to anyone needing a comfortable, friendly, peaceful place to stay with a great location for shopping , restaurants, pubs. We were warmly greeted by the landlord who made us feel welcome. Even though we arrived about an hour early he said that wasn't a problem as the room was ready. The room was extremely clean, warm and comfortable with all the usual amenities. We dropped the bags off into our room and fancied a bite to eat so went back for food. The food was very very nice. That done we had a walk around Kendal town center with it's mix if ships, restaurants and bars. Later that night we went back for an evening meal. Again the food was very tasty, well presented and very very nice. The bed was very comfortable and apart from some noise from one of the other rooms as they got up in the morning, it was a comfortable peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast was a full cooked breakfast of local produce and again, very nice. If we ever visit Kendal again,The Shakespeare Inn is absolutely where we'll stay.

The staff were excellent and attentive with checking in and serving a delicious cooked breakfast the next morning. The room had clean bedding and towels however the carpet was filthy and in poor condition. The decor was in poor condition requiring upgrades to the bathroom and single bed. The single bed was very uncomfortable due a type of button sticking into your back from the mattress.

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.
