Lovely friendly place to stay
One of our go to places when up in Kendal for business. Clean & friendly and a good choice of things on the menu. Food is delicious! Only downfall we had was we booked a certain table for dinner one evening and one member of staff had moved us and was quite rude about it! Original table was empty the whole time we were in the restaurant! Wouldn’t have minded if she had been polite and explained why the move had been made!

Fantastic Staff, Fantastic Pub
Look this place is everything you need in a lake district inn. Warm fires, excellent food and some genuinely outstanding beer. The staff were amazing with us and I cannot compliment the bar staff or chefs enough. Would go back tomorrow would give it 6/5 it it were possible to rate it that highly

Disliked: Room comfort
Below average for price
Breakfast doesn’t start until 8:30…. Absolutely no use at all if you’re working or want to get out and about. Room 6 was very cramped and with it being on the top floor the ceiling tapered off due to the roof to the extent where you were bent double. Bathroom was small and has a radiator above the toilet positioned just right to hit your head on as you stand up. Meal was very good in the evening. Definitely not worth the money charged.

Comfortable stay. Great food.
We had an excellent comfortable stay. Met up with family. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend if passing through ‘Ings’ which is a lovely place to stay. Hope to go again soon.
