On the plus side the car park is first class. Down side is this is a tired old hotel that looks as though it needed a facelift a long time ago. The worst part is that the whole hotel reeks of cigarette smoke which is caused by the landlady. (you could tell from her 20 a day voice). You could... More

It's the typical oldie worldie hotel, Tudor by design so it has the black rafters in the lobbiy. One thing that impressed was the car parking facilities, plenty of roon although don't expect the same if it snows, as they don't clear the carpark, so once it becomes hard packed BEWARE you're in for fun, Equally the pathway that they...

We were allocated single rooms and mine was quite large with a spacious bathroom area, a very comfortable bed, flatscreen tv and the usual tea/coffee making facilities.

On our driving holiday around the UK, we stopped for the night at this wonderful B&B. The girls greeted us very warmly and our accomodation was great with a fab breakfast. Secure parking is a bonus here. The Brewery behind Highgate was a great place also to wet our whistles. More

Have stayed here a few times because it is right next door to our friends house. It really could do with a bit of plastering and general decoration. The bathrooms could do with modernisation.The walls pretty much held together with woodchip wallpaper. The floors slope quite badly and there are some low parts to the rooms that you easily scuff...

This hotel is ideally located for the centre of Kendal. The rooms are immaculate and the breakfasts too die for,sets you up nicely for your day ahead. Overall very good value for money. They also take larger parties ie groups of walkers or as we were a touring squash club every one said they could not fault the hotel or... More
