Lovely place in a lovely city. Really friendly staff and the breakfast was a very nice touch! Would recommend anyone who wants a good place for the money. Also a cheap parking lot closeby (2.5 pounds between 18 and 9 which is good for people who want to go to lake district wit car)

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.

Needs some TLC

It is in a brilliant location, and the people who work there are amazing, but unfortunately it needs a lot of work doing on it especially the outside courtyard which is full of weeds and cigarette butts. The paint work is very worn. There was also no food available in the bar as the chef was off, breakfast was lovely though.

George, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I arrived to find the property was having an IT issue so they couldn't check my booking on screen. That said the girl quickly gave me a key & showed me to the room, which wasn't in the main building but down the yard. The room was spacious & bright, and quiet too which is always good. The breakfast was fairly basic but pleasant enough. One problem with this venue is the lack of parking. There is parking at the Brewery Arts Centre but that's quite a walk if you have heavy bags, and you have to pay.

Surprised by how quiet this property was. Clean and comfortable. Quite a small room. Breakfast was nice.

Good central base for Kendal, our room was behind the pub off the main road on the ground floor. Car park for fee about 1 minute walk away from the property. Came with a cooked breakfast served by a lovely young lady.

Family room

In need of renovation. Old bathroom with damaged fittings and vinyl, worn carpet in bedroom. Not all beds have bedside shelf. Reading light too far away to turn off whilst lying in bed. In family room but only one chair.

A nice place to stay, very handy for shops,caffe's restaurants, bus stop right outside of propery, hearty breakfast, and good Sunday roast,lovely friendly staff, very happy with our stay.
James, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay stay

Good size room, bedding clean and smelt nice. Room tatty and in need of upgrade. Bathroom very poor including loose toilet seat, grouting and shower in need of attention. Bathroom floor peeling up in doorway causing a trip hazard. Window stay in bathroom fell off when we opened the window. On the plus side staff were lovely. Cooked breakfast a bit over cooked but tasty and good quality. Continental breakfast poor, not much selection. Would have said all this when we handed the keys back at the end of our stay if we had the opportunity.

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.
