The Castle Green Hotel In Kendal  

We enjoyed our short stay at the castle green hotel. Highlights are; Some great beers in the pub Pool and fitness centre Full English buffet breakfast Varied dinner in the hotel Nice views of the countryside Rooms are pretty basic, but comfortable and clean. Certainly would stay again.

Some of the staff seemed a little stiff and impersonal.... Not a big deal, but a few more smiles wouldn't hurt.

Pleasant gardens. Free use of the leisure facilities. Good breakfast.

The unpleasantly snooty and officious receptionist rather spoilt the atmosphere and would make me think twice about re-visiting.

The fitness club and leisure facilities were very good indeed.

Overpriced, small double room for £138.00 which we paid for 1 nights stay. Reception staff and welcome was poor. Breakfast again overpriced at £12.95 per person.

Very friendly staff, great location, good facilities, choice of eating places. Ideal for short break. Rooms well equiped with great view. A little bit cramped for the price range but o.k. for a short stay. Gym/pool was good for size of hotel.

Overall I would recommend this hotel but would warn anyone visiting to mind their head while making tea in the bedrooms, due to poor design a shelf has been placed at exactly the correct place to bang the head of the anyone over 5ft 4inches upto 6ft 8 inches. The staff are aware of this as I reported it to reception, no notes taken that I was aware of and while sympathetic, the attitude seemed to be "all the rooms are like that" (we see no reason to change).

Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was excellent. I liked the explanation of how to avoid the Sunday morning breakfast rush. We had lunch in the pub which was relaxed but still good service. The wedding guests did not over crowd the hotel.

I cannot honestly say I was unhappy with anything.

Even though we only stayed one night the room was clean and tidy the staff were all lovely the breafast great and the views from our table were beautifull we will be comeing back. Many thanks.

Staff were excellent and very friendly. location was great and the facilities were also good. Having the pub on-site is a real draw and we ate in there 2 nights out of 3. Breakfasts were very good with a varied choice. It was also close enough to Kendal also and other attractions. Leisure facilities were also good and well maintained as were the gardens. Enjoyed watching the wedding taking place. Plenty parking on-site and hotel easy to find.

The drink prices in the hotel and the pub were a bit expensive and put us off a little. You may also want to look at some weekend entertainment in Alexanders as it could work well.e.g. Singer/acoustic gituarist. Would also be good to have a jacuzzi in the pool area. Again, drink prices were a bit off putting. More people would enjoy your bar area if not so expensive.

Lack of lifts. Restaurant too small for number of guests.

We attended a Charity event in the function room, everthing was lovely and very enjoyable stay. Beautiful gardens and scenery.

Plenty of friendly staff, especially at mealtimes. Very comfortable lounge and rooms. Excellent grounds for walking in a nice location. One of the best Best Western hotels we have stayed in.

Rather narrow road access to reception at the rear. Disliked fixed shower head in cubicles which were on the small size.

We loved the hotel and would recommend. The staff were all very friendly, the facilities were excellent. We ate in the hotel pub, and the food was very good. We used the gym and pool facilities which were very good for a hotel. The location is great, less than 5 mins drive from Kendal town, the views were spectacular. Can't wait to visit again! Excellent value for money!
