Top Kendal Hotel Reviews
Station Inn
10/10 Excellent
"This was a great stay. Highly highly recommend. Staff was excellent. Room is beautiful in a classic quaint way. Felt like the perfect classic Inn experience. We had dinner there. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was a mixture of locals and travelers. Relaxed and welcoming. Breakfast was served, made to order in the same restaurant and was excellent. Great area. Quiet but close to several things. Walking trail across the street allowed us some activity after dinner to a beautiful view if the valley and town. We only wished we had booked it for longer. It was our favorite stay of our 2 week trip. Of note, you check in at the bar. There's an entrance around back or in the front. Just know, there's not a separate check in and you're in the right place."
Gilpin Bridge Inn
10/10 Excellent
"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"
Newlands Farm Stables
6/10 Okay
"Very small accommodation for a family of three. Pics online do not adequately represent the ‘stables’ but mainly show the other units which are bigger. For the price we paid (£102.50 for the night) I would say it’s massively over priced. Total accommodation was probably half the size of an Ibis budget room but double the price. Beds were comfortable and location was good. Outside area could have been tidier and again not suitably represented in the pics . Also directly next to a busy railway track ."
Stonecross Manor Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel, friendly staff and comfortable rooms"
Riverside Hotel
6/10 Okay
"Stayed here on a Saturday night and on first impressions of the reception and bar/dining/ terraced area, it looked as if the hotel had been given a bit of an uplift, the outside was in keeping with the era with the local buildings and ones dating back to 1900s. The pool etc and gym were good and enjoyed them. What wasn’t good was the state of the room, which was in a god awful state of repair, with evidence in insect damaged carpet, lack of painting for a number of years, wood facias all scuffed and chipped, the shower screen having no rubber strip to prevent water dropping onto the floor. The last part caused water to pour onto the bathroom floor and caused us to get extra towels to shower with as we soaked everything up that had leaked out. The furniture and fitting in bathroom were very dated too. I would have asked for a different room but the hotel was fully booked for the night. The bedding and cleanliness of the room was ok and the only reason we stayed there. I would say at £135 for one night with no breakfast, was grossly overpriced, by aporox £70, given the appalling state of the room. I wouldn’t recommend the hotel to anyone, especially at its grossly inflated price and would only consider going back if the whole interior of every room was upgraded. The interior made a Travelodge room look like a palace. Bitterly disappointed to say the least! 0 ⭐️ for bedroom and 3⭐️ for everything else!"
Watermill Inn & Brewing Co
8/10 Good
"Staff went above and beyond accommodating us arriving in the middle of the night. Thank you very much!! Beautiful premises, lovely and clean. Great freshly cooked home cooked food. And gorgeous ales!! We will be back"
The Gateway Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at the hotel on a number of occasions and do so because I have confidence that it will be clean and well maintained. This is in contrast to a number of occasions where I have experienced disappointment when staying at other hotels. The general amenity of the Gateway is extremely pleasant and the staff have managed a relaxing and comfortable public area."
Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection
6/10 Okay
"This property seems dated and very plain. No staff to assist with luggage. Only one restaurant was open and the food seemed overpriced. The fire alarm went off twice in the middle of night requiring room evacuation to standing outside of the hotel. 30 minutes after getting back into the room, the alarm goes off again. Breakfast was basic, --the standard, eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, black pudding, but only one type of yogurt, little fresh fruit,"
The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW
6/10 Okay
"The Lakeland hotel served its purpose ok for a one-night stay to visit a local friend. My standard single room was clean and functional, but fairly basic in terms of comfort and amenities. No view, but on the positive side, the outlook onto a panelled side wall meant no road noise, so the room was quiet and peaceful during the night. Bed was comfortable apart from the pillows which were both too solid/firm for me (and I generally like a firm-ish pillow!) Maybe one softer one plus one firm one would give guests a helpful choice? A glass provided in the room would be nice too. Shower cubicle very small, but good water temperature and pressure. The main part of the Breakfast was nicely cooked and enjoyable, but the coffee was terrible! - I found it undrinkable - it tasted as if it had been stewing for a few hours, and certainly wasn't freshly brewed when I went down to breakfast in the latter part of the breakfast time window. Reception staff friendly and polite. Very helpful in providing a replacement TV remote, when I reported one as missing from the room."
