Birthday present.
This accommodation was adequate for an overnight stay. We came to Kendal to see a group at a nearby venue. It was only a few minutes away, the parking charges were really good and everything was good.
Had a really good time and would definitely do it again.

Arrived at hotel at 7.15 to discover food no longer being served but were recommended an alternative by the host. Breakfast was ok - a pot of tea rather than a cup with a teabag would have been preferable and it was instant or tasted like instant coffee.
