We travelled by Daish's coach from Worthing in Sussex on Sunday 11th August 2024. It was a long journey on one of the hottest days of the year. When we reached Birmingham district we changed coach and driver. Our new driver, Will, was then with us for the duration of our four night stay in The County Hotel. Will was knowledgeable about the area and fun. He kept us entertained by playing music for us to singalong to as well as a quiz. It took us nine hours including three half hour stops. The hotel was clean and the staff hospitable. We had a nice meal followed by Bingo and entertainment with Jason and Shirley who provided music and jokes. We stayed until the end which was a surprise after such a long day. We had a spacious room with a lovely walk in shower and LED lights around the mirror above the sink. It overlooked a busy road that was noisy but the weather was warm so we had the windows open.

Staff were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the full English breakfast cooked to my liking with choice of fried or poached egg. The room I had was lovely and clean with calming colours and big cosy bed. Slightly too warm for my liking (but I could open a window) and the water was too hot when using the shower. Decor was beautiful throughout the hotel.

Excellent location, opposite the Railway station and just round the corner from the buses. Friendly staff good food, easy walk into Kendal. Lovely walk to the castle. The room I was given as a solo guest was very large with 2 single beds set up as a King size. The hotel was in almost just decorated finish.

I really enjoyed my stay at the County Hotel in Kendal 11th-14th October 2024 Room was clean and comfortable, food was good with generous portions the entertainment was excellent and staff friendly and helpful. All in all I had a good holiday and would certainly go back again.
