Premier Inn Kendal Central

10/10 Excellent

"Would have liked a fridge in our room"

Damson Dene Hotel

8/10 Good

"Their breakfast was"

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a lovely location and many of the rooms have a view of the river, which was lovely. However, reception advised us not to open windows as flies come in, which was a shame. However, luckily there was a fan in the room as it was quite warm. The hotel was spotlessly clean but you can tell its an old building. They had quite an old TV in the room and not many Freeview channels but everything else was great, especially having a car park on site. We didn't eat or go to the bar so can't comment on those but would stay here again."

The Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property was was pretty much as expected, The room was clean and big. The issue we had was there did not seem to be sufficent sound deading between the rooms, as we could hear voices from other rooms. Could not hear what they were saying, but could near the noise. Luckily they went to bed about the same time we did and did not wake up before we did, but it not what we wanted or expected. It was in a very isolated location. That was not a problem for us, but something to be aware of. The price was the main selction point, so it was a good valude for the price. Just the room noise sort of made it less than what we wanted."
