What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Kendal?

A motel is an excellent choice if you're gearing up to road-trip around Kendal.

Spend your break at a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a wider range of rooms and additional amenities such as a fitness centre, lobby and business facilities, you can expect to pay more for hotel accommodation.

Kendal

"The cottage itself was a little dated but clean and tidy with everything you needed. The view was spectacular but the road leading to the property was not for the faint hearted and very challenging. The small cottage is one of several holiday let’s on the same property and as the larger property was fully occupied with several visitors during our stay and between 6-10 cars we had to park outside the front of our bungalow which meant we saw our car not the view. Not bad but good be better."

Damson Dene Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great welcome to the hotel from the gentleman on reception, very friendly and helpful, even understanding when we over slept our check out time. Room was very spacious and looked like we were in a new part of the hotel room 51, 51 had a great view over the garden where ducks and ducklings were swimming and playing. The garden to the rear of the property was beautifully kept, and the little bridge over the water and small village make of slate made the garden really standout. Service at the bar was quick and the bar man was super helpful. Breakfast in the morning was a buffet, so you helped yourself which I prefer. The room was well decorated, and had all the features you would expect in a hotel room. Bathroom looked new and the shower was amazing with a raindrop shower head, bed was comfortable and pillows fresh. 1 thing to mention, don't push the button on the side of the toilet. (You have been warned 😉) Great stay and I would stay there again if travelling to the Lakes. Hotel is about 10 minutes drive from Barrow but far enough out not to hear any excess noise from the number of pubs in the town. Full marks for all. 👍"

Station Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay. Highly highly recommend. Staff was excellent. Room is beautiful in a classic quaint way. Felt like the perfect classic Inn experience. We had dinner there. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was a mixture of locals and travelers. Relaxed and welcoming. Breakfast was served, made to order in the same restaurant and was excellent. Great area. Quiet but close to several things. Walking trail across the street allowed us some activity after dinner to a beautiful view if the valley and town. We only wished we had booked it for longer. It was our favorite stay of our 2 week trip. Of note, you check in at the bar. There's an entrance around back or in the front. Just know, there's not a separate check in and you're in the right place."

Newlands Farm Stables

6/10 Okay

"Very small accommodation for a family of three. Pics online do not adequately represent the ‘stables’ but mainly show the other units which are bigger. For the price we paid (£102.50 for the night) I would say it’s massively over priced. Total accommodation was probably half the size of an Ibis budget room but double the price. Beds were comfortable and location was good. Outside area could have been tidier and again not suitably represented in the pics . Also directly next to a busy railway track ."

Riverside Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Stayed here on a Saturday night and on first impressions of the reception and bar/dining/ terraced area, it looked as if the hotel had been given a bit of an uplift, the outside was in keeping with the era with the local buildings and ones dating back to 1900s. The pool etc and gym were good and enjoyed them. What wasn’t good was the state of the room, which was in a god awful state of repair, with evidence in insect damaged carpet, lack of painting for a number of years, wood facias all scuffed and chipped, the shower screen having no rubber strip to prevent water dropping onto the floor. The last part caused water to pour onto the bathroom floor and caused us to get extra towels to shower with as we soaked everything up that had leaked out. The furniture and fitting in bathroom were very dated too. I would have asked for a different room but the hotel was fully booked for the night. The bedding and cleanliness of the room was ok and the only reason we stayed there. I would say at £135 for one night with no breakfast, was grossly overpriced, by aporox £70, given the appalling state of the room. I wouldn’t recommend the hotel to anyone, especially at its grossly inflated price and would only consider going back if the whole interior of every room was upgraded. The interior made a Travelodge room look like a palace. Bitterly disappointed to say the least! 0 ⭐️ for bedroom and 3⭐️ for everything else!"

The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

6/10 Okay

"The Lakeland hotel served its purpose ok for a one-night stay to visit a local friend. My standard single room was clean and functional, but fairly basic in terms of comfort and amenities. No view, but on the positive side, the outlook onto a panelled side wall meant no road noise, so the room was quiet and peaceful during the night. Bed was comfortable apart from the pillows which were both too solid/firm for me (and I generally like a firm-ish pillow!) Maybe one softer one plus one firm one would give guests a helpful choice? A glass provided in the room would be nice too. Shower cubicle very small, but good water temperature and pressure. The main part of the Breakfast was nicely cooked and enjoyable, but the coffee was terrible! - I found it undrinkable - it tasted as if it had been stewing for a few hours, and certainly wasn't freshly brewed when I went down to breakfast in the latter part of the breakfast time window. Reception staff friendly and polite. Very helpful in providing a replacement TV remote, when I reported one as missing from the room."
