Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were excellent and the spa was amazing. Would make a point to stay here again. Lovely."

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay, at a good hotel. The room was clean and had everything in it a hotel room needed, the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC and a proper shower instead of a bath and shower. Staff were lovely and helpful letting us park a bit earlier so we could have a walk around Kendal before check in. Lovely swimming and leisure facilities too! Breakfast was good both mornings as well. Overall a great hotel for a few days stay in Kendal !"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean Staff - excellent Breakfast - Good (staff struggled to do their job). replenishments were slow."

Damson Dene Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel , nice garden with places to sit in among the ducks. Clean rooms . Bit unsure on how to get into the model village on site , no information on it anywhere. Got to the gate only to find you needed a ticket from reception which is a good way back up hill so didn’t bother. Sign at reception would have been a good idea. Lovely receptionist when we checked in but the one in the morning was so miserable, never smiled and just seemed like she didn’t want to be there . Having said that would definitely stay again , comfortable hotel"

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely room overlooking the lake. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast. The weather was extremely hot during my stay but the room was air-conditioned and lovely and cool."

Stonecross Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay, they are doing some renovations so looks like it’s only going to get better"
