The rooms are clean but small. Hard to get around the bed to the closet. It came with full English Breakfast which was a great value. Friendly staff, comfortable bed. No parking, though, so we had to hike to a car park every day as we took trips away from the city center, like Kendall Castle ruins.

A great wee find. Centrally located and perfect for gigs at Brewery Arts (a 3 minute walk away). The rooms are at the back, so there is no noise disturbance at all. Staff were lovely and helpful but not overbearing. Rooms are spacious, and the bed was large and comfy. And breakfast was included; a lovely, freshly cooked breakfast, not a soggy breakfast which has been on a hot plate for 3 hours. I think this may become a regular spot for weekend gigs in Kendal. Thanks to everyone at The Shakespeare Inn.

Perfect in every way. The team at The Shakespeare are the best. The archway you need to drive through to the car park is tight, but the team were fab at navigating you in. All part of the charm.

No complaints about the one night stay. Room was very clean with new fittings and the breakfast was good. Tight through the gateway to the courtyard parking but it was manageable enough in a Hyundai I20. Very peaceful at night due to the rooms in the courtyard being away from the main road. Would definitely stay here again if the Kendal area.

I had a lovely stay here, although rushed due to travelling ! The staff on check in was absolutely lovely, and provided me an ice bucket so i could safely store breast milk. The accommodation was clean and quite large, i had a very comfortable stay there. I appreciated the outdoor access rather than staying IN the pub (if that makes sense!) . I came back around midnight, and the adjacent venue was not loud or rowdy, and i had a wonderful sleep. Unfortunately i can’t comment on breakfast, as i had to leave before enjoying any! But i know there was a separate breakfast room to the pub. thank you for a lovely stay!

I'm afraid our stay at The Shakespeare Inn wasn't very good. The room itself was fine, but the bathroom had some odd brownish substance on the threshold between the room and the bathroom that got trailed into each room if it was stepped in. It took until our second day to realize where that was coming from. The bathroom itself wasn't very clean and one of the towels had an odd substance on it. The alley outside the rooms could be noisy and people out there would smoke, so we didn't want to open our windows, which didn't give the room a chance to air out. The staff were friendly and helpful. We requested a clean towel which they gladly gave us, but didn't mention the brown goo until check out.

I booked this hotel for a birthday present for my father in law and his wife. But they found that the bed was very damp and checked out 2 hours after checking in. So never stayed the night. And as they are old school never complained or told the management about the problem.
