Kendal: the historic gateway to the lakes
August 19th 2015
We stayed at KENDAL HOSTEL, which was perfectly positioned in the centre of town for all of our needs, not least a pre-dinner pint at any pub that took our fancy. It’s amazing what surprises are in hidden in the fabric of a town’s history, and Kendal is no different.

Look at what some of our customers say about us.
Amazing stay!!! Incredibly clean!!! Would thoroughly recommend this hostel to anyone. Our room was so quiet… like being in the countryside it was that quiet. Thick curtains meant the room was nice and dark so great for sleeping. Fantastic stay
Fantastic value for money in Kendal
Really great value for money, especially for South Lakes location. Staff warm and friendly and helpful. Great location in centre of Kendal – ideal for Brewery Arts Centre, town centre pubs and restaurants.
Ticked all the boxes!
Received excellent care and a very warm welcome. A cosy environment and extremely clean – right in the heart of Kendal Town Centre. Hot drinks provided and stacks of local information provided. Couldn’t have asked for more!
