Lovely hotel, convenient location, quite scenic (excluding the road thatvwas rather busy). The staff were excellent, evening meal was great and at a good price. Room was spacious and well decorated. A few negatives unfortunately, the room was extremely dusty in places such as the corners and bottom of the table, the less obvious places. Although the restaurant was lovely food, i wasn't a fan of being able to smell every dish that was cooked in our room which in turn meant all our cloths smelled of cooking. I had to stand on a chair to draw the curtains as they would not move on the curtain pole. A personal opinion which may not matter to others was the mattress, i like a medium or firm mattress, this im afraid was like sleeping on a bean bag, very soft and had the sinking effect which lead to a poor nights sleep, however a soft mattress may favour other guests.

We stopped by on the off chance for some food and I’m so glad we did. The place was busy with a great atmosphere but they still managed to fit us in. Great menu but we decided to keep traditional and stick to a roast as it is a Sunday. We had the beef with a side of cauliflower and broccoli cheese which I have to say is the tastiest I’ve had. All staff were great, happy and courteous with guests but thanks especially to Emma who managed to get us in and looking after us. Next time we’re up we will be visiting again and I’d highly recommend. Ian

Absolutely love this place! Lovely, welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff! The food is amazing, fantastic place to stay the most quirky rooms and free parking. Worth paying a visit even for a nice coffee in the morning to admire all the Christmas decorations and the lovely open crackling fire; my first choice when breaking up the journey, see you all next time

I’ve been twice recently and have felt that the bar/waitress are very rude with the way they do the tables .and we were in the way . They said we sit anywhere but then as soon you go anywhere near the windows they decided first time it booked but no reserve sign on. We just sat elsewhere as my mum was shouting lunch , we very pressure by waitresses to order more than what we wanted and rush out of door because we didn’t want order anymore. We only there a hour 1/2 , but second time was even worse I was meeting someone for the first time and order drinks but felt like we been pressured to order a second drinks or food . We were interrupted rudely four times , they basically said we had to move because someone sit at our table in minute even though they said sit anywhere on arrival? We went moved to another seat after asking where can we go seat to finish our conversation then they said have you booked ?? You asked us to moved !! pouring down with rain outside we sat down where seem to be convenient for them . We trying to decide wether we eating or getting another drink when they came over again !!! Are you eating or order a drink or not.. I can’t believe this rudeness of few staff and never felt more pressure in a pub/ restaurant, we there less than a hour before they carry on like this , we left because I felt we were unwelcome . Not a nice experience and it happens twice so won’t be returning as not polite staff and pressure sales on food and drinks .

Lovely room, nice bar and restaurant area. Nice food, especially the roast beef dinner. Breakfast good too. Conveniently located for Kendal and surrounding areas. Staff were friendly and efficient. My husband was unwell 1 day during our 3 night stay and they were very kind; asking me how he was and if he needed anything. There’s a farm shop across the road too with nice cafe.
