Marcell

Safe and friendly area, easy to find location, I like that this place in linked to local history. Room was very big enjoyed the hospitality in the bar area. Staff very friendly. I did have one issue the room I stayed in, The Lysander room was extremely cold at night and I did catch a chill which made me cut exploring time the next day. However I did notice that was just above freezing temperature outside on the night I stayed I would return to kendal but only in warmer months of the year. B and B total £71

Parking was very difficult and not onsite as advertised. Staff friendly and welcoming and complimentary breakfast was good. Rooms need updating and mattresses very uncomfortable and slightly worn. While my room was clean, my friends appeared not to have been vacuumed.
