"Stayed here one night on our way home to Scotland. The property is easy to find with plenty free parking. Easy check in with helpful, friendly staff. The room was very clean, tea and coffee in the room, everything you need. We had a meal here in the evening and it was delicious. Really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Gilpin Bridge Inn."

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was clean, comfortable and well maintained. All of the staff were really helpful, cheerful and friendly. The burger from the bar meal selection was awesome, ranking as one of the best I’ve had, the chips were amazing too. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was great, and appreciated. The only very small gripe, is the £10 day parking charge, if you don’t book direct. The hotel is cashless, and when paying, there isn’t an allowance on the bill to add a gratuity, which made tipping difficult. Overall, I am happy to provide a 5 star review."
