Surpassed all my expectations

Having recently stayed for five nights at the Riverside Hotel Kendal, I can confidently say it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations...

If you're considering a stay in Kendal, I wholeheartedly recommend the Riverside Hotel. It's not just a hotel, it's a complete experience - great food, superb rooms, a fabulous spa, and the most welcoming staff. Don't miss out on the opportunity to create your own memories here!

The most amazing calming views

Excellent atmosphere, and a beautiful breakfast restaurant with the most amazing calming views. Close proximity to all hiking paths and additional welcoming touches in the rooms which have made all the difference after being caught out in a torrential rain.

The staff are amazing

We stayed here for 5 days after Storm forced us to leave our home.
The staff are amazing and we didn’t want to leave.

Great swimming pool, Dog friendly & Fab Staff!

Walter, Hotel Guest

We have enjoyed the weekend here.

Good location and nice view to the river. Free gym and swimming pool are a bonus. Standard English breakfast but we couldn't complain about anything.
I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
