Top Kendal Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly welcoming and attentive reception on arrival, this continued throughout our stay in the restaurant/Bar and Pool area. Great location, within a few easy minutes walk to the town centre. Free undercover parking is a bonus in a town centre hotel."

The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 2 nights, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel doesn't have a car park but the young lady on reception told us what to do, she let us leave our bags in reception and gave us directions to the local cricket club just around the corner ( 2 min walk) there is an honesty box at the cricket club for the parking fee. The breakfast was lovely, there is a wide range of choices from hot or cold. We would strongly recommend staying at this hotel and we will definitely be staying there again ourselves."

Damson Dene Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely recommend, and aim to stay again next year. Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings - far enough away from the busy Lake District hotspots to make it a peaceful stay, yet close enough to everywhere you might want to visit! Beautiful garden and pond, with friendly ducks. Clean throughout with spacious room and bathroom, and a comfortable bed. Great breakfasts with lots of choice. Only little niggle - it would be an added bonus to be able to have a cappuccino or latte choice at breakfast :)"

The Eagle and Child Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying at the Eagle & Child, though I’ve eaten drank there at least once a year for the last 10 years or so. Rooms are comfortable and homely. Staff friendly. Great selection of beers in the bar and good traditional English pub grub - just what you need after a day out on the fells."
