"Property appears to have been recently made over, everything is new and fresh, extremely clean and although on the small side the rooms are perfect for overnight stays, comfortable bed and with more than enough tea/coffee supplies unlike a lot of places. The continental breakfast was excellent quality and plentiful. We could not fault the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall excellent value for money and we will definitely go back"

Top Kentmere Hotel Reviews

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel room and the spa was amazing too. Food from mizumi was one of my favourite meals ever."

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Keswick Country House Hotel is a gem, quietly tucked away with a short walk from the town centre, lovely walks, and beautiful grounds. The hotel was once connected by a railway, which is now part of the C2C bicycle trail, and lovely level walk, through breath taking scenery. The breakfast is great with a great choice of food, well cooked and presented, including Gluten Free options. We had no issues. Maybe a bit more thought about layout, to help avoid cross contamination (eg separation of cereals from non gluten items) and maybe the sausages could be GF? I have found GF sausages are very good, as 100% meat. just a thought. Although I am not a Coeliac myself, my daughter is. I was impressed with some of the the attention to detail, but a bit more choice and slight adjustment with ingredients, positioning and location of certain foods, would be a wow factor, for anyone struggling with an allergy. thank you. The rooms were well equipped, tidy and cleaned regularly. This is an interesting hotel with unique railway heritage. Highly recommended 9/10. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and helpful, I will look forward to our next visit and definitely enjoy this hotel again. Thank you"

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 5 night stay in June and on arrival we were awarded a room upgrade. The suite 'Woodlands' was excellent and although across the yard, was no problem at all. Breakfasts were excellent with a great choice, including many fruits. Individual cooked items were well presented and tasty. We took 2 evening meals at the hotel and again the choice of meals on the menu and the quality was superb. Staff were very helpful, professional and courteous. The facilities including the lounge, bar, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and indoor and outdoor jacuzzis were all excellent All in all a superb stay and a place thoroughly recommended and one worth coming back to."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I was upgraded to one if the newly refurbished suites. The room was spotlessly clean, stylish and fresh, comfortable and spacious, with nice little extra finishing. I would definitely recommend the suite (budget permitting, as the quality of the room is reflected in price) for those spending a lot of time in the room. I was mostly looking to spend my time to de stress, relax and rest. Superior rooms are also spacious and comfortable, although as far as I know, are mostly unique, i have noticed some aren’t as well equipped than others. Although, all suitable if you are going out and about more, I find they are the best value for money. The smaller rooms are lovely for a one night stay or if travelling light. I recommend making use of the spa facilities and well equipped gym. Both are clean, with all the main equipment and facilities. You can pay for treatments as extra. I have tried out a few massages, which were great for sleep and recovery from gym workouts! The staff are what makes this hotel really stand out from the rest. I cannot speak highly enough of the girls at reception, management team, and housekeeping staff. Customer service is extremely important to me, and nothing was a problem for the aforementioned staff, they made me feel comfortable, listened to and a valued returning guest. They are friendly, professional and polite. Certain staff at the pool/spa are also lovely, helpful and friendly. The bar staff were a slight let down, being fair, they were very busy."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Top quality hotel in a brilliant location, absolutely loved it here. We didn’t find a better bar to have a drink in or a better restaurant to eat in, all perfect… with a wonderful view over the lake too! The leisure facilities really helped too, the pool was a proper pool you could actually swim in! My only (very slight) observation might be that it did look a bit tired in places, with a bit of paint peeling off here and there."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Kentmere cost?

Budget hotel prices in Kentmere vary, but you can find a great deal from £50 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.

When is the most affordable time to visit Kentmere?

The most affordable time to visit Kentmere is generally outside of the peak summer months and school holidays, particularly from late autumn to early spring. During these periods, you'll find lower prices on accommodation and fewer crowds, making it ideal for budget-conscious solo travellers.

Solo travellers will discover that November to March (excluding the Christmas and New Year period) offers the best value. Many guesthouses and B&Bs in the Kentmere Valley and nearby villages like Staveley and Ings reduce their rates significantly. The cooler weather might deter some, but it presents a fantastic opportunity for quiet walks and enjoying the stunning Cumbrian landscape without the usual throng of tourists. Public transport, while less frequent off-season, is still a great option for reaching trailheads, and local pubs often have cosy fires and more affordable meal deals.

Moreover, during these quieter months, attractions like the various fells and walking trails are free to access year-round, and you can often find cheaper train tickets to the nearest major hubs, such as Windermere or Kendal, from where local buses can connect you to the Kentmere area.

Is Kentmere a budget-friendly destination?

While Kentmere is generally considered more expensive than other parts of the UK, particularly due to its location within the Lake District National Park, travellers can absolutely experience its magic on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, instead of staying directly in the valley, consider looking at charming villages just outside the immediate Kentmere area, such as Staveley or Ings. These spots often offer more affordable guesthouses or self-catering options and are still well-connected for exploring the fells. Solo travellers might find good value in bunkhouses or youth hostels located in nearby towns like Windermere or Ambleside, which are a short drive or bus ride away.

Couples can save on food by bringing their own supplies for picnics or cooking meals if they choose self-catering accommodation. Many of Kentmere's best experiences are completely free, focusing on the stunning natural landscape. Enjoy invigorating hikes along the Kentmere Horseshoe, explore the valley's quiet lanes, or simply relax by the Kentmere Reservoir. The scenery itself is the main attraction, offering endless opportunities for walking and photography without spending a penny.

How can I save on a budget hotel in Kentmere with Expedia?

There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Kentmere. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.

What free activities should we do in Kentmere?

Kentmere, a tranquil valley in the Lake District, offers a wealth of free activities great for budget-conscious solo travellers who appreciate the great outdoors. The main draw here is the stunning natural landscape, which provides endless opportunities for exploration without spending a penny.

Walking is the top free activity. You can embark on numerous public footpaths and bridleways that crisscross the valley, offering breathtaking views of the fells and the Kentmere Tarn. A popular route is the Kentmere Horseshoe, a challenging but incredibly rewarding circular walk that takes in several Wainwright peaks. Even shorter, gentler strolls along the valley floor or around the tarn provide a peaceful escape and a chance to spot local wildlife.

Beyond walking, photography is another fantastic free pursuit in Kentmere. The dramatic scenery, changing light, and charming dry stone walls offer countless picturesque moments. You could also pack a picnic and find a scenic spot by the river or tarn to simply relax and soak in the serene atmosphere.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Kentmere as a package?

Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Kentmere for you.
