The Inn is quaint, charming, and comfortable and the staff are kind, welcoming and accommodating! We arrived and were immediately happy with the safe and private parking accommodations. We actually arrived very late that evening, and called ahead, they waited up for us and were so kind upon arrival. The Hotel is SO charming, cute and cozy. The aesthetic is charming English cottage, while also being updated and feeling clean. The hotel rooms themselves are more modern (though unique) to give you all of the comforts of home - my fave being the towel warmer. Our room was wonderfully clean (and I'm a stickler on cleanliness!) and the bed was so comfortable, especially after a long drive. It was such a comfortable and clean place to lay our heads for the evening. The hotel has a restaurant that I would also recommend. Breakfast was incredible - one of the first hotel breakfasts where I haven't had to douse in pepper haha. Well seasoned and well cooked, high quality ingredients. Jonathan is a wonderful chef. My husband said the hollandaise was one of the best he's ever had. I'd recommend stopping by for sure, and don't miss breakfast! The hotel is also very unique in that they have local goods/art around the hotel, both as decor and for sale. Such a sweet touch. We bought one of Caroline's paintings - she's multi talented! Overall, I would stay here again. 10/10!!

After a train ride from London, we checked in and were immediately escorted to our rooms. It is a gorgeous, well appointed, old white cottage with seemingly unending English charm. The room included a queen bed with comfortable linens, en suite bath with a standup shower, in-room toiletries, coffee/tea service, and incredible views of the town of Windermere. Overall, it was very well appointed with modern features throughout. For dinner, we enjoyed the restaurant's evening special of sirloin and chips. We ordered it medium rare and it came cooked to medium. Prior to that we broke from English tradition, and ordered a very nice fruit & cheese plate for an appetizer. At the end of the meal, their sticky toffee pudding was quite rich and among the top four I've had in my life. They have a very lovely outdoor setting, complete with comfortable tables, that allow for glorious views of Windermere, both the town and the body of water. Angel Inn also has a guest lounge area, with comfortable sofas and chairs that allow you to warm yourself by their wood burning fireplace. It is within easy walking distance to the post office, co-op, Laundrette, and mere. It is a 1.6 mile walk, all downhill, from the Windermere train station. There are also bus routes to take you into town.

It's popular with locals but I notice a lot of them seem to stick by the bar and maybe that's why - it's the only real centre. It's possible to dine here in the evenings and stay overnight but I haven't tried either, having heard disgruntled comments from others. The beer is good here though - you can get Black Sheep and Timothy Taylor's should you venture in.

This is the worst hotel I ever came across travelling around the world for the past 15 years. My…read moretrain got cancelled, I informed them that I would come on the next day, which was already prepayed. What these petty crooks did is took advantage of my train cancellation - charged me the no show fee for the whole period of stay and cancelled my booking. When I arrived the next day they said my reservation is not valid anymore, and I have to pay for the next night again. Even if this policy allows that, the behaviour of the hotel was dishonest and unethical, basically, they behaved like thieves. Avoid by all means! Especially since train cancellations are frequent in the UK. None of the other hotels behaved like that, in most cases I received the full refund. There are many much better hotels in Kendal.

My room had the most spectacular views out over the river too. The bed was huge and was like sleeping on clouds ... It was incredibly comfortable and I had the best sleep I've had in ages. The bathroom was rrally nuce although the toilet is a little weird, almost like a children's toilet but hey it does the job. The bath was luxurious too though for some reason I couldn't get cold water to come out as hard as I tried it just flooded out boiling water. That's probably just me not knowing which way to turn the tap though. There is a leisure centre with a gym, swimming pool, sauna, spa and steam room that is open to guests so don't forget your swimmers (like I did). Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd forgotten my toothbrush but they handily had bathroom essentials for purchase. The restaurant is very nice with plenty of options. I only had the chips as I have a lot of food allergies but the chips were delicious. Chunky and crunchy. The only thing I didn't appreciate was house keeping entering the room at 9 am when I was still asleep. They should probably wait until people have checked out, or at least until later in the morning. Overall, I had a great stay and I'd happily return.

We got here on one of the rare sunny days in the Lake District and the room was filled with sunlight, with a gorgeous view outside to the greens and the little ponds. I'd highly recommend the spa lodge room itself. It has some amazing features: - each unit is a small wood house on its own, lots of privacy - ensuite outdoor sauna room, Jacuzzi, and indoor steam room(doubled as shower room) - spacious bathroom with huge tub, and separate toilet unit - the bedroom is nicely decorated (apparently each room has a different theme) - nice audio system both indoor and on the patio My only complaint about the room is that there are so many switches for light controls (and sauna room) but they didn't seem to be sorted in any logical order... I was very confused by them. Besides the room, the food in this hotel is amazing. The staff have also been very helpful in responding to my questions and arranging ground transportation for me. It would be my top choice for my next trip to the lake district.

The tub is a safety hazard, sinks are old, carpets are dingy, sheets are see-through, pillows are questionable... everything hotel nightmares are made out of... yet its one of the better places in town! But it is close to the train station and to UClan, and the staff will do anything to make up for the embarisingly (is that even a word?) conditions of this worn and beat up hotel. Because the staff is quite frankly - too good for the hotel or any luxury hotel - they are downright working class divinity and should all be hugged and commended for their wonderful, wonderful humanity!

Thankfully there was a sign on the wrong side, so I at least knew I was on the wrong side of it! I would have found the reception on the first floor unusual, except I'd seen it at a Travelodge only three weeks ago - so now I thinks it's actually sensible. On arrival I checked in via an electronic kiosk - that is unusual, but it was very quick and there was still a staff member on hand should it not work. In fact, it's worth saying that every staff member I talked to here were exceptionally friendly. Room was fine - minimalist, but functionary. Free wifi was painful, but the paid wifi was only a fiver, so an easy choice. Still not a super fast connection, but better than I've had at some hotels. Bathroom was a decent size, and the shower had excellent pressure. If I have to stay overnight again in Preston, then I would want to stay here again. Everything was effortless.

It's quite a busy little spot at times as there are boat moorings and a marina holiday home development virtually on its doorstep and also caravan parks nearby. The pub has a relaxed atmosphere and a reasonable choice of beers and lagers including Black Sheep beer and Peroni lager to name a couple. There is a pool table and fruit machine and basically it has the vibe of a typical traditional English pub. You can dine in the pub area or, alternatively, in the restaurant which is decorated in lighter colours and has more of a feeling of a special occasion about it. On the most recent occasion we visited it was a specials on pizza and pasta night and we both opted for pizza. It was fine but nothing out of the ordinary really, my pepperoni pizza was quite bland and I prefer a thinner base but then that is just personal choice. On previous occasions we have tried various dishes including steaks, fish & chips, sausage and mash, chicken, gammon etc. and we have generally been pretty pleased with the food. Service can be slow even at quiet times and my request for a dessert menu on our last visit was being directed to look at a counter with some desserts in it, I wasn't very impressed by that and wasn't going to bother but fortunately another member of the waiting staff appeared and told me what was available. I opted for the Eton Mess which was pleasant enough. I'd say the prices were just above average for the area, taking these Two for One venues out of the equation, though the steak which was on the specials board came in at a hefty £18.95 when we were there. Starters too are a bit on the pricey side. Overall though we really like the place and will very definitely return in the future on many occasions!
