Days Inn Kendal is located just off the M6, attractively located beside Killington Lake. The hotel offers many rooms with scenic Lakeland views with free Wi-Fi and free parking.

Conveniently placed next to a rest stop so basic food and drink options were satisfactory. It is also by a lake with a gorgeous view.

    Kendal has lots to offer visitors and is an ideal place to stay, away from the crowds in the central Lakes. Lots of walking accessible by good public transport, avoids taking the car and trying to find somewhere to park. Plenty of shops and places to eat, especially Corner 124 where you can enjoy an excellent meal.

    Although Kendal was not the most picturesque of the towns we visited in the Lake District (the competition is stiff), it still had a lot of charm and no shortage of good shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés. It made an excellent base for seeing the Lake District on public transport. We arrived by rail in late October and used Stagecoach buses for the duration of our stay. The buses were clean, comfortable and reliable, with charging points on the buses. The bus network was very easy to use, with the option to buy tickets and get bus times through the Stagecoach app.

    River running through the town is so nice to walk along. Church bells ring each quarter of an hour. Market on street and indoor one as part of shopping centre was interesting. It is near Windermere and we used it as a base to see a few of the lakes.

    Kendal is a busy town with lots of cafe’s restaurants and shops, a lot of which are independent. Really lovely. The only downside is the one way system and the extensive roadworks which made driving through the town quite arduous (there was no real going around it).

    Ideal location for travelling around the lakes - especially Windermere as only 15min away. Home from home cosy and welcoming. No parking however we knew this in advance so we parked very cheaply at the cricket club which was literally a 3 min walk from the door. Real fire with loads of wood etc for cosy evenings and were treated to an evening of music as a local orchestra rehearse in the building behind which was fabulous (don’t worry it wasn’t loud we had all windows open and it was early evening).

    If you want to be in central Kendal with a parking space then this is the place. Absolutely 5 stars for this location, tucked away beside Booths (a favourite place to shop) and with a level walk to the main street with all its pubs, restaurants and shops. There are plenty of rural walks from the town (although it is all uphill to start with...) with some fabulous views of this area at the edge of the Lakes. The railway station is also a level walk of about ten minutes.

    Beautiful hotel with lots of character, really comfy and cosy room decor with lots of small touches. Amazing views of the fields and mountains, perfect location for Windemere and Kendal. Lovely bar and breakfast area with balcony overlooking the views, and a serve yourself type bar. The bed was large and soft, smart TV with Netflix etc, rooms quiet and dark. Full English breakfast was quick and well cooked. Overall a really peaceful stay.

    The hotel is in a traditional beautiful local style house, located in a convenient place, just outside the town of Kendal, 20 minutes drive from Windermere, parking spaces are sufficient, the decoration inside is very pretty, the landscape surrounding is idyllic and picturesque, with good restaurant and bar inside, and the pricing is rather reasonable.

    The staff were amazing and very approachable and friendly. We had an issue with our toilet during our stay but staff were very helpful and it was fixed within 30 minutes. The location was great as it is so close to Kendal, the pool facilities were excellent and the hotel was very clean overall. Would really recommend and we'll probably be coming back!

    The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well provisioned - a proper home and in a lovely area of Kendal. We enjoyed the short walk up to the castle to look at the sunset and the park opposite. The hosts left a lovely loaf of fresh bread and milk. All in all a great stay and we’d return again.

    The parking,although available was not suitable for my car but parking was 300 metres up the road and we'll priced. I just wimped out seeing the narrowness of the tunnel. Room compact but some lovely extra touches. Will book again as have family in Kendal. Nice pub attached too.
