    Great stopover for cyclists

    Had a lovely stay after our bike ride! Super friendly staff who helped us secure our bikes. The room was spacious and comfy, perfect for a night. Breakfast was pretty good too. Just wish the pub had dinner options on Sundays, but we managed. Fresh milk for tea in the room was a nice touch, though the fridge was a bit loud.

    limited dining hours

    Had a blast staying here with my friends! We enjoyed playing darts and the lively atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable with great showers and fresh milk for our tea. Breakfast was top-notch with hot options. Staff were super friendly and approachable !

    One downside was the limited dining hours on Sunday and Monday. it would’ve been great to eat there at night.

    darts experience
    fantastic breakfast
    spacious room
    lack of play area

    We had a blast playing darts at the pub, and the kids loved the spacious triple room. The breakfast was fantastic, especially the fried eggs. It was great to hang out with my cousin and explore Kendal without worrying about noise.

    My kids wished there was a play area to keep them entertained.

    clean room but lacked more amenities

    The room exceeded my cleanliness expectations with perfectly arranged quality sheets and a comfortable mattress. I especially appreciated the fresh milk in the fridge along with the complimentary biscuits that added a nice touch to my stay.

    There could be more amenities available in the room.

    cleanliness issues

    I had a wonderful stay at the Shakespeare Inn in Kendal. The check-in process felt warm and welcoming. The room was spacious and clean, with a cozy bed that made for great nights of sleep. I loved the charming decor that reflected local character. it added to the inn's unique atmosphere. Breakfast was delightful, featuring fresh produce and generous portion sizes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. My only issue was the narrow parking entrance. it required careful maneuvering but was manageable. it didn't detract much from my experience.

    The room was super cozy with a charming decor, clean and smelled great. I loved the soft pillows and the warm duvet, perfect for a comfy night's sleep. The mini fridge for fresh milk was a nice touch. The shower was really good too, lovely and hot, but I did notice the wifi was a bit hit or miss.

    friendly staff

    perfect stay near parks and cultural hotspots

    I really enjoyed my two-night stay, with the Brewery Arts Centre just two minutes away for my gig and the stunning Abbot Hall Art Gallery only a short walk away, making urban exploring so easy and fun.

    It was just a great fit for a brief weekend stay in Kendal with good value for price. The room was spacious with a clean bathroom and had all essential amenities like a kettle and coffee. Be careful with the narrow entrance to the rear car park.

    charming building
    cozy atmosphere
    local jams
    narrow entrance

    Charming historical building with rustic pub decor creates a cozy atmosphere. The large en-suite room featured Sky TV and essential tea-making facilities, but surprisingly, no Wi-Fi. The included breakfast offered a good assortment of freshly baked pastries and local jams.

    Access to the car park takes you through a particularly narrow entrance, requiring some finesse with the mirrors if you've got a larger vehicle. The towel rail in the bathroom was non-functional, and it got quite chilly in there during my stay. The cleanliness could use some attention, as I found hair and debris on the seating and dusty informational materials. While I enjoyed the quiet location overall, there were occasional disruptive noises early in the morning that could wake a sleeping Wookiee.
