"Lovely friendly staff during our stay. Nice pool facilities, didn't use the gym but it looked well stocked. Food was nice, especially the breakfast and nothing was too much to organise for us. Garage parking was easy to locate and property is near to shopping areas and more pubs and restaurants. Would stay again."

"Brilliant ran hotel clean and food is great. Highly recommended. "

"nice stay, nice room, reception pleasant and helpful, no problem checking in. ate at the Bistro food was lovely. only negative one small towel radiator in very large bathroom made the bathroom a bit cold for February. otherwise no complaints at all nice room."

"The hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We were very impressed by the professionalism, friendliness and welcoming attitude. The restaurant was so good too. The chef is amazing with a great variety of top class dishes. The hotel is in a lovely area and ideal for our needs. We will absolutely return. "

"My stay at the Shakespeare was short but will be remembered as a really good experience. I felt like a truly valued customer, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The room was good and the bed was huge!! It was 2 lovely nights sleep, nice hot shower in the morning followed by a cooked breakfast. It really set me up for the day. I would most certainly revisit and can recommend it for a good place to stay in Kendal."

"Close to train station and buses. Comfortable rooms and attentive staff. Nice restaurant and bar and breakfasts are excellent "

"Excellent stay, service and food 1st class"
