Have also put a review on tripadvisor.com"Stayed at the County Hotel for two nights during the Mountain Film Festival as all other accommodation was already booked up. I can see why the County Hotel was the last to get filled.On arrival my partner popped in to reception to ask where the hotel parking was, and was told that was no hotel parking, and we had to find somewhere to park on the local streets! While checking in, someone else came in with the same parking question.The room was the same layout as any Travelodge, only smaller, with single glazed windows, no pictures on the walls, fewer TV channels, smaller bed, no hair dryer, etc.On our first morning, having returned to the room after breakfast, there was a knock at the door and we were asked if we wanted new towels, and we did, so she gave us new towels, but did not ask for our old ones. There was a sign in the bathroom saying that old towels should be left in the shower. When we returned to the hotel in the evening, our old towels were still in the shower, and the bed sheets had not been changed.The breakfast had limited choice and was of average quality, the porridge was very watery and comments were overhead from other tables about the poor porridge.If there is nowhere else to stay in Kendal then stay at the County Hotel, but I'd recommend trying one of the other hotels or guest houses first."Also, on returning home, my girlfriend realised that she had left her book on the bedside table. We have had no phone call from the hotel, and they have not posted it back to us!

Had a bed, an an adequate breakfast

No Parking, small room, no hair dryer, no decoration in room, single glazing, used towels not taken away, watery porridge
