Booked this for an overnight stop for business whilst in Cumbria. Turned up at hotel and was given a suite, which was most unexpected. The room overlooked the river and although there was some road noise from the side of the building, it was not annoying. The staff were excellent and dining in the bar was a solitary act! It... More

Just stayed 3 nights at the Riverside. Second time we have stayed although first time was a few years ago. Excellent location for sightseeing but also in ideal position for the town. Park the car in the large free car park and walk to a good choice of shops,bars and restaurants. Our room was the kendal castle suite, and was... More

The hotel was nice and staff are very helpful. Our room on the ground floor was a little tired but a good size ,but the view from our window of the river right outside made up for this (was told all rooms have a river view).We didnt use the pool but it looked great and a good size but they... More

We had probably the worst experience of dining that we could have ever had! We had not been to the area before and it looked charming by the river. Being new to an area, the rule of thumb, when dining out it is advisable to utilise the larger places on the first night as these tend to have every part... More

We stayed at the hotel for 1 night with 2 children and 2 dogs. The room was fantastic and didn't feel cramped at all. It had a lovely view over the river and we enjoyed a very tasty meal in the bar in the evening. It's the first time we've stayed in a hotel with the dogs, we normally do... More

I expected a little bit better than we found, based on the previous reviews here. We had a room for 4 (2 adults, 2 children) and that meant one bed was a roll-away set up for us. When we got to our room it was already set up, which was great, but I actually felt sorry for my daughter sleeping... More

The Hotel has a very good location. Close to M6 and walking distance from the train station and the City center and yet very quiet. . It is on the river (as its name implies) in an old mill/factory building. So don't look for some modern building. This setting gives the hotel its charm. The rooms are quite large and... More
