Lovely Inn - Shame about the service!

At first sight the place looked lovely. We arrived mid afternoon. There was a roaring fire, the girls behind the bar were very friendly, and the next morning, breakfast was great. But that evening, we went up to our rooms at about 5:30, and noticed that it was cold, and that the radiators were off. I went downstairs, and reported it to a girl working in the restaurant. She said she would ā€˜boostā€™ it, and that the radiators were on a timer. Nothing happened, and an hour later, we had to leave for our family do, just out of Kendal. We left the function early, so that we could get back, and have a drink or two before going to bed. We returned to the Inn just after 10, and it was dark, and everything was locked up, including our access to the bar. Bear in mind that this was a Saturday night. We had no choice, but to go to our rooms, which were still cold. I donā€™t think the radiators had been on at all, but there was no one to tell, or to help. This really spoilt our evening, and the women in the room next to ours, said that they slept fully clothed! We went to an Inn, because we thought that they would be open until 11 on a Saturday night, otherwise we would have stayed longer at the family function. If they had staff problems, then they should have told residents when they arrived! I complained to one of the breakfast people in the morning, and they said that the owners would be in touch. Itā€™s now a week later, and Iā€™ve heard nothing! Unacceptable!

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! Wouldnā€™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

Below average for price

Breakfast doesnā€™t start until 8:30ā€¦. Absolutely no use at all if youā€™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.
