Overall Ratings & Reviews Shakespeare Inn

This accommodation was adequate for an overnight stay. We came to Kendal to see a group at a nearby venue. It was only a few minutes away, the parking charges were really good and everything was good. Had a really good time and would definitely do it again.

Well located for Brewery Arts centre. Basic but comfortable room. Helpful & friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Nice, friendly service. Comfortable clean room. Great breakfast in the morning. Love the history. Will definitely use again.

Very clean and tidy room. Quite basic but excellent for 1 night stay. Hospitable staff, very helpful.

We booked The Shakespeare to attend an event at the nearby Brewery Arts Centre. No parking on site so you need to use nearby car parks. The rooms are in a courtyard behind the pub. Our room was clean enough, if a bit small and chilly (it was January). No particular issues with the service but they could have been more attentive. After the show, we decided to have a drink back at the Shakespeare but it had already closed at 22:10. If you stay at a pub you expect the bar to be open. Breakfast was freshly cooked but the choices were limited and instant coffee??

Great location.

Arrived at hotel at 7.15 to discover food no longer being served but were recommended an alternative by the host. Breakfast was ok - a pot of tea rather than a cup with a teabag would have been preferable and it was instant or tasted like instant coffee.

Pleasant stay at the Shakespeare. A warm welcome by Lee and shown up to our room. Nice large room ( we opted for the family room ). Nice breakfast in the morning. Staff were very nice too!!

Clean, comfortable and quiet. Great breakfast....Thouroughly recomend.

We visited Kendal to see comedian Jason Byrne. We stayed for one night with bed and breakfast, in the Shakespeare Inn and would 100% recommend it to anyone needing a comfortable, friendly, peaceful place to stay with a great location for shopping , restaurants, pubs. We were warmly greeted by the landlord who made us feel welcome. Even though we arrived about an hour early he said that wasn't a problem as the room was ready. The room was extremely clean, warm and comfortable with all the usual amenities. We dropped the bags off into our room and fancied a bite to eat so went back for food. The food was very very nice. That done we had a walk around Kendal town center with it's mix if ships, restaurants and bars. Later that night we went back for an evening meal. Again the food was very tasty, well presented and very very nice. The bed was very comfortable and apart from some noise from one of the other rooms as they got up in the morning, it was a comfortable peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast was a full cooked breakfast of local produce and again, very nice. If we ever visit Kendal again,The Shakespeare Inn is absolutely where we'll stay.

The staff were excellent and attentive with checking in and serving a delicious cooked breakfast the next morning. The room had clean bedding and towels however the carpet was filthy and in poor condition. The decor was in poor condition requiring upgrades to the bathroom and single bed. The single bed was very uncomfortable due a type of button sticking into your back from the mattress.

Ideally located, very pleasant room, easy access, breakfast included in rate and very friendly staff.

Room was Ok. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly.

Great location,comfortable bed and great breakfast
