Central location, easy walking distance to the centre of Kendal. Lots of restaurant options in town centre. Spa area was enjoyable although can get crowded as pool is small. Easy parking. Brandon at the Tanners Bar was a star, fab service. Tasty fish & chips served at Tanners. Breakfast was also good. Helpful, friendly staff.

Lovely friendly staff during our stay. Nice pool facilities, didn't use the gym but it looked well stocked. Food was nice, especially the breakfast and nothing was too much to organise for us. Garage parking was easy to locate and property is near to shopping areas and more pubs and restaurants. Would stay again.

Hotel was nice staff friendly. Good location. Sadly the rooms and dinning room for breakfast was quite in need of some TLC. Breakfast pretty basic, wouldn’t pay again to have that. Bathroom was odd, a really low sink, with shower over the bath and no disabled grip bars. Gym looked good, but as my daughter is 16 she wasn’t allowed in as it was for ages 18+ Good location, not far from the centre but a lot of restaurants closed early in the week

Good points - free parking, very close to town centre, spacious room, breakfast, pool (didn’t use), staff friendly. Bad points - tv broken, reported to reception but no maintenance on Saturday therefore unable to solve problem, air con would of been great during hot weather, cobwebs on ceiling/walls in room and around hotel, butter on chair and tables sticky during breakfast (better cleaning required). Overall would stop again based on location and free parking but more attention to detail is needed ie cleaning and making sure things work (ie tv) before putting people in rooms
