Really good Guest House Experience
comfortable settee free wifi mature tree
Pauline and Bill are cute hosts. The double room featured a comfortable settee, TV, and free WiFi. The room felt private due to mature tree cover outside providing privacy from neighbours. Breakfasts had a choice of cooked items and continental items of good quality.
The TV was mounted on the wall to the right of the bed. This made watching it from the bed somewhat difficult. The signal for the TV also had issues coming and going.
Rooms
9/10
The double room offered a cosy settee, a TV, and complimentary WiFi. the mature trees outside contributed to additional privacy from distant neighbours, which I found most fortunate, and relaxing.
Location
10/10
The hotel has easy access to train and bus services, situated about 200 meters away, what certainly expands mobility options. Kendal is a short drive, being only about ten minutes away by car.
