The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent
"Its an older hotel - although updated a certain amount (Bathroom looked fairly new) - good location closed to the town centre, decent sized rooms, staff were great, and the breakfast was very good! No on-site parking, but there are several close by car parks (they've got the information at reception). Pro tip - The Sandes Avenue carpark a few mins walk away is only £1.50 for the entire day (If you buy a ticket after the charging period ends at 6pm it'll be good for the entire next day) Wifi worked, but was a bit patchy in our room - they could probably do with a few more access points. Overall we had a good stay, and I'd come back again - especially if they add some more Wifi access points so its a strong signal everywhere!"

"Nice hotel which has had some recent refurbishment. Breakfast was only OK. Buffet style but food was only warm, some of which was poor quality. Lighting of the ballroom needs attention as it was so bright. Large lake view room was lovely, albeit it needs checking more thoroughly as there were cobwebs and maintenence issues. Gardens needs lighting as we nearly fell trying to return to the hotel o the dark. Paying for carparking when you've paid £350 per night is poor."

"Great location . Lovely receiption, dining and Bar area. The rooms were clean and a little small, but the bed was good. No water in the bedroom. Bathrooms a little dated in the room we stayed in, but all clean. The food ordering with certainly different but and the chioce limited but all to a good standard. The service was quick for the amount of people eating at the same time. I would certaintly recommend this hotel."

"Everything was amazing. Great location and lovely staff. The view from breakfast and the terrace bar was great. 2 things to improve that really hot under my skin.... Breakfast wasn't great. And the hotel bar is extremely overpriced. We paid 10£ for 2 cups of tea (tea bag tea!!!) and alcohol and soft drinks also way over priced. If you book, just make a brew in your room and bring it down, it's the same tea!"
