Owner emails and Website description of this ‘traditional’ B and B accurate.
Nice welcome, clean house and rooms… breakfast fine. 

The house is up quite a steep hill from the town centre, steps up to the front door and, if like me, you’re on the second floor you may be puffing a bit before you get to your room. 

My single room was smallish but was clean, well lit and ventilated. It had everything needed… including a comfy chair which was welcome after a day on my feet.
On the front of the house but traffic noise not an issue as not a main through road. 

I found a parking spot just outside the house and, using the provided parking permit, didn’t move the car during my 3 day stay. Bus station about 10 minutes walk downhill… railway station 5 or so minutes further on. Far easier to use public transport than fight with Lakeland traffic and find car parks… especially in ‘the season’. Even more so if you have a a bus pass!

My pet hate in B and Bs are the hosts who think it’s their job to entertain you… especially when a solo traveller. Wendy and Richard were friendly, welcoming and informative but quickly worked out that I knew the area well and didn’t need too much help, so stepped back… they’d have been more than willing to offer help if needed. 

A good place to stay… and vey reasonably priced.

Convenient and comfortable

This B&B is situated in a beautiful are of Cumbria, right on the edge of the Lake District.  The owners, Richard and Wendy, were excellent hosts and were very welcoming.  Their local knowledge made getting around Cumbria so much easier and ensured that we made the most of our limited time there.  Whilst they were always available if we wanted them, they were in every way discreet and unobtrusive.
The rooms and public areas were spotless and everything was of exceptional quality.  The breakfast was not only plentiful but very nicely cooked, with a lot of choice.  Once again, the ingredients used were also of the best quality.
We cannot recommend this B&B highly enough and will definitely return.

Best B&B we have used

Hillside is undoubtedly one of the best B&Bs my husband and I have ever stayed in the UK. The reception is warm, the room (No. 2, on the first floor), with more than reasonable dimensions, is impeccably clean, as well as the bathroom, with a large shower cabin, and very comfortable.

A delicious home away from home:-)

This was our first stay in a B & B on this trip - and did not disappoint. Well appointed, well presented and the hosts Richard & Wendy were very welcoming. Enjoyed a beautiful breakfast every morning - cooked fresh for you.  Rooms were refreshed daily, and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lovely B & B Kendal

Friendly welcome from Richard and Wendy, quiet bedroom yet only a hundred yards walk to the centre of town. Lovely breakfast with a great choice. Efficient shower, fluffy towels. Make sure to ask for a parking permit when you book, lets you park all day free in the road outside. Kendal is lovely - we saw an otter in the town! Kingfishers and goosanders in the river too.

Kendal is lovely and so is Hillside

We came for the Kendal Whisky Festival weekend, and found the Hillside to be a superb place to stay. A very warm welcome from Richard and Wendy, with rooms that were cosy and spotless, and fans of a full English will not be disappointed! Convenient car parking right outside, and only a few minutes walk from the centre. We'll definitely return, and would recommend to anyone.

A wonderful place.

Very easy to find the Hillside in Kendal car parking is limited need a permit from the b&b Richard greeted us very warmly explained all aspects of our stay plus some information about the surrounding area also answered questions on areas we wanted to visit on our weekend. Room 3 was lovely absolutely spotless bed very comfy pillows were good tea tray was superb bathroom to die for slept very well. Breakfast was delicious well cooked tea coffee excellent we had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again when staying in Kendal

Excellent Bed and Breakfast great hosts very friendly

Had a great stay at Hillside, Made to feel very welcome and given advice on local things to see and transport links. Rooms spotlessly clean and warm. Very nice breakfast on offer and would only stay at Hillside if I come back to Kendal

Hillside B&B KENDAL 
4 nights b&b 8th September 2021 
ROOM 3
Greeted by Richard who owns the place, he told us all about it and gave us some helpful information about the area. Free parking permit was given to us for on road parking. 
Not always easy to get a space close by though so beware if you can't walk far. 
Nice room at the front of the house, though very hot, there is a tower fan, which was on all night the first very hot night. 
Ensuite is sparkly clean, with an amazing shower and fluffy towels. 
TV has prime and iplayer which was great, we do our out and about during day/early evening so like to watch TV in evening. 
Good selection of tea/coffee stuff. 
Good selection of breakfast choices 😋
Hillside is as the name suggests on a hill, literally 5 mins walk from the town centre, great going down, harder coming back up the Beast 🙄😉
Lots of restaurants in the town. 
We tried, Indian, Mexican and Thai all were amazing 😋 
A good stay and we would recommend this B&B ✅
This was our 4th stop on our honeymoon tour of the North. 


The Beast Didn't get us 😂

Wendy & Richard thank you much so much for a super time room was amazing beautiful view

Nothing was to much to ask (not that we asked a lot ) 
We have recommended to our friends 
Thanks again guys hope to see you both soon 
From ash & billy 😁😁
