Top Smardale Hotel Reviews

Haweswater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We visited with two large dogs, one of which can be quite anxious. However she settled quickly and staff were more than happy to accommodate her needs. Vegan and veggie breakfasts were great with a wide selection of jams to have with the complimentary toast."

Stone House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 2 nights at the hotel. The staff are so friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic. It’s a lovely hotel for a short break would highly recommend."

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay, at a good hotel. The room was clean and had everything in it a hotel room needed, the bathroom could do with a bit of TLC and a proper shower instead of a bath and shower. Staff were lovely and helpful letting us park a bit earlier so we could have a walk around Kendal before check in. Lovely swimming and leisure facilities too! Breakfast was good both mornings as well. Overall a great hotel for a few days stay in Kendal !"

The Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"The mattress and pillows were amazing. A great night's sleep. The food at the restaurant on the evening was amazing. Very dog friendly. Outside seating with blankets lovely touch. Well recommended. We enjoyed our stay."

The Green Dragon Inn - Hardraw

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was spotless, the view from the room was beautiful. The pub interior was like it was straight from medieval times. Lovely little village location. Had a fab time, would definitely stay again"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean Staff - excellent Breakfast - Good (staff struggled to do their job). replenishments were slow."

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, clean with, friendly staff and an excellent breakfast."

Stonecross Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay, they are doing some renovations so looks like it’s only going to get better"

Appleby Castle

8/10 Good

"Staying at Appelby castle was an experience we combined it with a performance of the Handlebards in the grounds. The owner Sally is lovely and Peter manager slways helpful. We stayed in what was the ' servants quarters ' on the top floor. Unfortunately it had a parapet window so no views but the room was spacious the bed comfortable , nice linen and towels and a good shower. The floor in the bedroom and to the shower was sloped so not recommended for anyone with mobility issues the room was up 3 flights of stairs the last ones quite steep. We didn't have dinner but had breakfast . It was ok. With a bit of tweaking it could be v good . Ie better choices of cereal , fruit and availabity of yogurt. English breakfast was fine but would have been nice to have toast and jams after. Coffee was Ok. At about £16pp it was expensive for what was available. The castle is tired but has so much potential . We were disappointed that the museum in the tower was closed . With a little bit of tweaking the experience could be so much better but we enoyed our stay and would consider staying again"
