Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Had to wait until exactly 3pm to check in bit frustrating sitting for 10 minutes- then staff swapped over so had to wait again. Booked a double room but given a twin which wasn’t clean - this was swapped on request. Room was on the top corner no double glazing so with 3 windows it was noisy from traffic, bathroom fan didn’t work so bathroom window and all windows constantly streamed up - radiator was on so this must be an ongoing problem. Staff were chatty but not very bothered about customers but they did seem to be running reception, serving the bar and serving food. Bit of investment needed into the building and maybe more staff would improve this as it’s in a great spot?

Bed was very comfortable and the room was generally clean. I appreciated the addition of a fan. Toilet had a bad smell though and the remote control for the TV was really dirty. Also very thick dust on the extendable TV wall mount. Minor gripes though as it was amazing value. Would stay there again.

I don’t like being negative but it was not great. The staff tried hard - or some did - but they were very under-staffed with people doubling up on roles. Waited at least 5 or 6 mins before anyone came to reception desk, at peak check-in time, despite ringing the bell. There were five people waiting before anyone turned up. My food in the evening was ok and was served on time but I saw another person order very carefully but his order was very delayed and not what he ordered. Breakfast was pretty poor. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The public areas left a bit to be desired. You get what you pay for and it was not particularly expensive.

Very Scottish decor’ for some reason. Staff were over worked and doing multiple jobs as best as they could and as quickly as they good. Tending bar, taking orders, waiting on tables - just one person! They really struggled at breakfast with a coach party all coming down to eat at the same time and only two waitresses and one chef to handle everything. I could see how frustrated the staff and the customers were getting with the whole situation. The room was clean and tidy with good tea and coffee amenities. TV was working well. Bathroom looked recently refurbished. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I really liked their “free drink instead of housekeeping” option, which I absolutely decided to go for. Hotel is conveniently located to train station and a short walk into Kendal town centre.
Their over the top prose on the breakfast menu made me chuckle.

The hotel is situated on a busy corner. Although you can park the car there to L unload & load luggage, the car park (cricket ground) was a good 5minute walk away, not ‘just across the road’ as explained. Room was clean but cramped we could have done with a larger floor space. Had we realised twin bedded rooms were smaller than double (the double opposite us was BIG), we would have gone double. Shower - we just couldn’t use at all as the water was boiling hot with no regulo. Staff admitted that water temp, ‘it is a nightmare’ and we were offered a chance to move but we were almost ready to leave. Friendly staff, nice bar and the food looked good. We are not complaining - it’s all part of the adventure for us but may be a little too below standards for some.
