"The Royal has become our go to place when visiting our daughter at university. It is clean, convenient and good value for Money. We have stayed in multiple different rooms and each one has been to a really high standard. Highly recommend."

"The staff were attentive to our needs. We ate there on the second night of our stay. They food was lovely and hot when served. We did not wait for too long from ordering to getting our food. There were limitations on what we could have both on the food and drink side due to delivery issues. My and I were are aware that there was music being played when we went to bed, but I did not really interfere with us getting to sleep. Eat plugs were provided which my wife used. The pay and display car park...

"Clean and comfortable . Warm and friendly . Perfect base for walking in Howgill Fells with our friend . Evening meal excellent ."

"We were walking The Dales Way and arrived on a very wet Sunday afternoon. The staff at the pub were extremely welcoming and reserved us a table for dinner. The shepherds hut was lovely and cosy (underfloor heating), exactly what we needed after a long wet walk! The breakfast hamper was very welcome too."

"Lovely breakfast selection, all fresh and tasty. Nice room with lots of little extras. Really lovely lady who can’t do enough to make your stay special. Having a dedicated car park is a real bonus in Kendal. "

"Our welcome when we arrived was excellent. Liz was very helpful telling us sbout breakfast etc. Our room no 5 was quite spacious and had a nice view of the hillside of the dale. Breakfast was well cooked and tasty. Glenn was very efficient and knowledgeable about the area and made you feel relaxed with his banter. The en suite was a tad small but we managed ok. Will return and stay with them again at some point if we are visiting the area."

"Warm welcome from helpful owner. Very clean room with several nice touches. Excellent breakfast. "
