For a group of 20 walkers coming by car, we chose this hotel because of its location and facilities and value. The hotel, which overlooks Kendal and limestone escarpments to the west, is 5 miles from the M6 and within 20 miles of the different places we planned to walk in. Moreover, it offered plenty of free parking, a rarity... More

We used this as a mid point stopover between the Highlands and our destination in the south, it's a fantastic location and I'm pleased we arrived in good time to appreciate the magnificent surroundings in daylight. Parking on a weekend evening near the hotel reception was scarce but we unloaded the car and moved it to the part filled car... More

Decent size room and well appointed for a comfortable stay, with access to a good pool, steam room and gym. A small note that the leisure facilities are also open to members of the public, so it can... More
