Great location, decent price, terrible attitude from the landlord, very rude to my guest, paid for breakfasts upfront but was informed by the cleaner he would not come down from "upstairs" 20 mins before end of service! Never again, avoid at all costs

The room was clean and very comfortable. Geoff and Sue gave us a very warm welcome. Breakfast was excellent. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area. The pub was welcoming and the locals were very friendly.

We've not been to Kendal for a few years, and went to a family friend's birthday party for the weekend, returning home on July 1st. The Shakespeare is in the centre of town, with car parking for those wanting accommodation. The entrance is a bit on the snug side, so caution is needed. The present owners haven't been there long,... More

The accommodation is in rooms at the back of this drinking mans pub the rooms were clean, although it wont be long before they need a little tender loving care. The owner is helpful and was more than happy to serve us an early breakfast.When we visited they were not doing evening meals.
