Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Everything they offered was fine - however there was no hairdryer making the shower irrelevant, and no bedside glasses for night-time drinks although the tea/coffee cups could be repurposed. A few issues at check-in but they were dealt with well by the staff. So fine, but a few things could be improved.

Clean comfortable room but lacking a wardrobe and draws. Annoying flashing light from a ceiling sensor! Food in the restaurant/bar was excellent.

Nice enough place but ‘help yourself breakfast’ had no tables set up. The room had been used for a function the previous evening, which perhaps was the reason.

A nice located hotel, unfortunately spoilt slightly by the very poor breakfast, probably the worst excuse for a continental breakfast I have ever seen.

Travelling with 4 year old daughter, very good stay, stayed for one night to visit family in Kendal, less than 10 mins drive away, large comfortable room, clean and nicely presented, good sized bed and comfortable, shared bed with daughter, large room was unexpected and ideal for her to play, smart decor throughout, didn't eat in bar so can't comment of food but the continental breakfast included although fairly basic was decent and a good selection of options (cooked breakfast you needed to order and separate charge). Small play park outside was also very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Staff were attentive and kind. Room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Shower was excellent. The pub itself offered a wide range of drinks which were reasonably priced. The food (££’s priced) was well cooked / presented and above the standard we have encountered in similar PH’s. The included Continental Breakfast was reasonably extensive and provided a good start to our day. Our only ‘minor’ observations for consideration are: 1) The provision of some basic clothing storage (shelves) in the room would be useful. Also, we had a bedside table on one side - an additional on the other would be handy. 2) The selection of fruit and cakes within the Breakfast was better on the Tuesday morning, presumably after weekend restocking. We do point out that the selection on our first morning (Monday) was OK (adequate), it was just noticeably larger on the Tuesday. Both 1) and 2) are definitely NOT criticisms and we had a lovely stay in this Robinsons establishment. Thank to the friendly and helpful staff and management.

Really like this place, we stayed elsewhere earlier in the year, wish we hadn’t. The management & staff were all very approachable and welcoming. Great fresh food of an evening and breakfast offering good too. All you need in the room BUT Pillows may need attention, (that’s not a negative just preference) Will be heading back soon
