Unfortunately the carpark spaces are very small for today's size cars. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Standard room was small but very good value for money. Location perfect for gateways to lakes or for a stop off to Scotland

Travelling with 4 year old daughter, very good stay, stayed for one night to visit family in Kendal, less than 10 mins drive away, large comfortable room, clean and nicely presented, good sized bed and comfortable, shared bed with daughter, large room was unexpected and ideal for her to play, smart decor throughout, didn't eat in bar so can't comment of food but the continental breakfast included although fairly basic was decent and a good selection of options (cooked breakfast you needed to order and separate charge). Small play park outside was also very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Nice enough place but ‘help yourself breakfast’ had no tables set up. The room had been used for a function the previous evening, which perhaps was the reason.
