                                          Find the best deals on hotels in Kendal

                                          Planning a last-minute visit to the beautiful Lake District? Kendal is the perfect base for getting outdoors and exploring all the wild spaces that the national park has to offer. When it comes to places to stay, you’ll find Kendal is home to some of our top Cumbria hotels. There’s lots to see and do in the town, too. A great place to start is with a walk up Castle Hill to the ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views over the lively town centre. Keep your eyes peeled for the River Kent meandering through Kendal, with the tall hills of the Lakes behind.

                                          If convenience is important to you, check into the Riverside Hotel — a beautiful historic hotel around the corner from Kendal’s central train station. Alternatively, the Days Inn Killington Lake is an attractive budget option a few minutes drive from the town, just off the M6 motorway. With our wide range of last-minute Lake District hotels, guests can enjoy five-star luxury complete with saunas and spas or quaint little B&Bs featuring hearty breakfasts and en suite rooms.

                                          Using Kendal as a base is a great way to explore the Lake District. Lake Windermere is just up the road for exciting boat trips, intrepid walks or afternoon teas with outstanding views. Venture further afield and you’ll find the starting point to Scafell Pike, plus countless quieter trails around Borrowdale and Buttermere.
