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.

Fantastic stay at the Shakespeare Inn
We visited Kendal to see comedian Jason Byrne. We stayed for one night with bed and breakfast, in the Shakespeare Inn and would 100% recommend it to anyone needing a comfortable, friendly, peaceful place to stay with a great location for shopping , restaurants, pubs. We were warmly greeted by the landlord who made us feel welcome. Even though we arrived about an hour early he said that wasn't a problem as the room was ready. The room was extremely clean, warm and comfortable with all the usual amenities. We dropped the bags off into our room and fancied a bite to eat so went back for food. The food was very very nice. That done we had a walk around Kendal town center with it's mix if ships, restaurants and bars. Later that night we went back for an evening meal. Again the food was very tasty, well presented and very very nice. The bed was very comfortable and apart from some noise from one of the other rooms as they got up in the morning, it was a comfortable peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast was a full cooked breakfast of local produce and again, very nice. If we ever visit Kendal again,The Shakespeare Inn is absolutely where we'll stay.

The staff were excellent and attentive with checking in and serving a delicious cooked breakfast the next morning. The room had clean bedding and towels however the carpet was filthy and in poor condition. The decor was in poor condition requiring upgrades to the bathroom and single bed. The single bed was very uncomfortable due a type of button sticking into your back from the mattress.
