The hotel is situated on a busy corner. Although you can park the car there to L unload & load luggage, the car park (cricket ground) was a good 5minute walk away, not ‘just across the road’ as explained. Room was clean but cramped we could have done with a larger floor space. Had we realised twin bedded rooms were smaller than double (the double opposite us was BIG), we would have gone double. Shower - we just couldn’t use at all as the water was boiling hot with no regulo. Staff admitted that water temp, ‘it is a nightmare’ and we were offered a chance to move but we were almost ready to leave. Friendly staff, nice bar and the food looked good. We are not complaining - it’s all part of the adventure for us but may be a little too below standards for some.

The room was clean, if a bit narrow. The road outside was rather loud. The bathroom was spacious and well-outfitted. The staff were very kind and helpful.

Broken shower, grim rooms, stubborn staff

Shower was broken such that the only possible setting was scalding, intolerably hot. We were offered an alternate room but it was in a repurposed outbuilding only accessible via a weird fire escape area, so we decided to put up with the broken shower. The staff just patronised us by saying no one else had complained about it, which I find unbelievable, and that it would be colder if set on half pressure, which we obviously tried and was complete BS. We asked for a late check-out as quid pro quo, and the staff declined. The rooms are generally pretty grim - see photo of the tiny prison-style windows. Kendal isn't great either (besides one very good restaurant named Sapore) and technically not even in the Lake District. If you want lakes, mountains and pretty towns, stay in Ambleside or further Northwest. This is the only review I've ever left on here but this was possibly the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Locals told us it had changed its name around June 2025, presumably to shed the poor reputation. Beware.

Quirky hotel

Solo traveller who requested a quiet room. I did have to change room from the back of the hotel due to very noisy heating pipes to a room at the front of the hotel which had road noise from a busy junction but better than noise of pipes. Rooms are a bit faded but this is reflected in the price. It is an old building so expect a few quirks. Shower in 2nd room a lot more modern and room in better condition. Staff were excellent and helpful. Didn't eat at hotel. As a stopover from driving back from Scotland it was great value but would recommend requesting a room away from road noise from the front of hotel and avoid room 303 with noisy pipes.

A great value for money hotel, room was clean and comfortable, the whole building is really warm, so be prepared,! The showers are far to hot for me, but my friend loves them, so its a personal thing, but they dont really go any cooler than Moulton Lava! Breakfast was amazing value for money and exceptionally tasty, the staff are all friendly and helpful. They have an arrangement with the Rugby Club to park for £2 per 24hrs, which unfortunately we didnt know about before! Overall this is a good hotel, the kettle was full of water so cleaners didn't quite pay attention to detail My biggest gripe is dropping my key into a box on reception that i felt was to accessible to everyone, and if the staff member wasn't there i felt even less inclined to drop it in, this really did not sit well with me, plus picking it up every time you come back, getting stuck behind people checking in to do so etc! I just want to go back to my room!
