I stayed at the Riverside in Kendal while visiting a colleague/friend who relocated back to England some years ago. I loved the trip to Cumbria (by train) and found my stay at the Riverside to be most enjoyable, which was an unexpected bonus. Very comfortable room, clean and good bedding and towels, bathroom amenities. The breakfast was very decent and the Chef made me good basic hot porridge upon request, which was great. Plus, the breakfast room overlooks the River Kent, which is truly a beautiful river. Most of all, the Reception and general hotel staff were excellent. For me, it still is about the 'human touch and experience' at accommodations when traveling. Yes, I love IT and technology, but nothing replaces the professionalism, helpfulness and kindness of good staff. I'd love to visit Cumbria again, Kendal included, and I'd love to stay at the Riverside again.

Room was nice enough, clean if a little dated (the shower head looked manky and needs changing), nice big comfy bed and pillows, for the price point a wee fridge would have been handy. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. Great location for exploring the town.

Lovely hotel if a little quirky being a former tannery. Food good. Staff lovely. Everywhere spotless. Swimming pool, fitness suite, sauna etc.

Having recently stayed for five nights at the Riverside Hotel Kendal, I can confidently say it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations. Every meal was an absolute delight, freshly prepared and never once a disappointment. The steak and ale pie stood out particularly, full of rich, hearty flavours. It was a joy to discover that they graciously accepted our Tastecard every night, allowing us to indulge in 2-4-1 meals - a generous gesture that truly enhanced our dining experience. The rooms were exceptional, spacious and immaculately maintained, offering a perfect retreat after our daily outings. The thoughtful touches of plenty of biscuits and tea bags added to the homely and warm atmosphere. But the Riverside Hotel is more than just its food and rooms. The spa room was a highlight of our stay. We had the pleasure of enjoying the hot tub, jacuzzi, and swimming pool, which provided us with a wonderful relaxation experience. The true gem of Riverside Hotel, though, is Henry, the bar manager. His charisma and upbeat personality created a palpable positive vibe throughout the hotel. An Elvis fan at heart, his lively energy was reminiscent of the King himself, bringing an extra sparkle to our stay. While it's sad to hear that he'll be leaving the hotel, he undoubtedly leaves behind a legacy of great customer service and unforgettable memories. If you're considering a stay in Kendal, I wholeheartedly recommend the Riverside Hotel. It's not just a hotel, it's a complete experience - great food, superb rooms, a fabulous spa, and the most welcoming staff. Don't miss out on the opportunity to create your own memories here!!

Apparently this hotel is ranked as a 3 star? Stay here for a night and it's like living in luxury. Rooms look out onto the river. Had a drink or 2 on the verandah overlooking the river with the added bonus of heating overhead. ALL staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Complementary gym (within hotel) for residents. This hotel is well worth another visit. So summing up this hotel should have a ranking of 5 stars.

Good location on the river and close to town. Lovely place to spend time with friends. My one complaint is that we ate in the restaurant which was nice but had a limited menu and, in my opinion, was expensive for what we were served. We were the only guests in the restaurant and it was it was a little on the chilly side so missing some atmosphere. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast seemed expensive at £12pp but turned out to be good value.

Ideally located in Kendal, close to the shops. Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, being part of a coach party evening menu was limited, breakfast was good. Room was very nice.

Made a group booking for four rooms and they very kindly got our rooms next to each other. The staff were super friendly and extremely dog friendly. The hotel was comfy and clean. Couldn’t ask for nicer dog friendly base for our stay Kendal and will certainly stay again in the future. I left my earrings in a bedside table and they were handed to reception by the cleaning staff and they kindly offered to post them back. Thanks for a great few days!
