A warm welcome awaits you at Hillside, a small family run Bed & Breakfast in the historic market town of Kendal in Cumbria. Set in an elevated position within Kendal’s conservation area, Hillside B&B is just a couple of minutes walk (200 Meters) up hill from the town centre. Hillside offers six en-suite guest bedrooms where we hope you will enjoy a restful night. You will find Hillside an ideal place for exploring the ‘auld grey town’ and both of the beautiful Lake District and Dales National Parks or as a base for business stays. Our car parking is on street residential permit parking. We have a limited number of permits which must be pre booked with us for the duration of your stay, a maximum of 1 per room. The permits do not cover commercial vehicles and trailers. For the best rates book direct.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay at the Hillside Bed and Breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean and came with great amenities. The hosts were absolutely fabulous - we received so many useful recommendations of where to visit and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Free parking provided outside although you may have to park a short distance away - we were never more than 50m and it is really conveniently located for central Kendal with restaurants and shops etc. Perfect for exploring the Lake District.
