"Situated in an old building modernised to a lovely hotel. Eight across the road from the train station and a short walk into the town center. Albeit up a bit of a hill so when traveling with an elderly parent it was a little longer than 5 mins but not too bad. Lots of places to stop and have a drink or a bite to eat. Lots of shops on the high street and farmers market was on whilst we were there. Loved it. Staff at check in and check out were lovely. They have a bar which we were able to get a drink and a pot of tea. Breakfast was nice and again polite staff. We did have an issue with having no hot water for a while but we didn't mind that. Had a lovely mini break here."

However, these months can also be the busiest, so booking accommodation and popular activities well in advance is a good idea.

Couples looking for a more relaxed trip, perhaps enjoying leisurely strolls through Kendal's yards and discovering its independent shops, might prefer May, June, or September. These months often provide agreeable weather without the peak summer crowds, allowing for a more tranquil experience.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Kendal.
