What guests think

At Days Inn Kendal - Killington Lake, travellers highlight a scenic lakeside setting and convenient motorway stopover with friendly staff, but consistently note dated interiors, maintenance niggles, and limited dining tied to the service area rather than an on-site restaurant.

Lake-view rooms and generally quiet surroundings are praised; some guests mention uncomfortable mattresses, occasional corridor noise, and uneven Wi‑Fi reliability. Cleanliness is mixed, ranging from clean and comfortable stays to reports of stale smells, missed housekeeping, and mould or peeling finishes in bathrooms. Overall, expect a basic, good-value stopover with limited amenities.

Easy to find IF YOU follow the motels directions not your SAT NAV as it will take you down country lanes to the opposite side of the lake. Lovely lake view. Clean rooms Quiet Easy free parking Discount food voucher But the onsite service station has excellent food often 50%off in the evening

If Carlsberg did motorway service hotels… Absolutely stunning location, lambs, swans, signers, lake and sailboats. Simply beautiful, especially considering it’s a motorway services with all the conveniences that entails. The man on reception bent over backwards to help us as we had forgotten to book an accessible room. Excellent.

Clean room. Fresh. Bathroom in need of refurbishment but clean. Surprised by the extra charge of £10 each for our 2 Yorkies - seemed excessive and not flagged up when booking.

This Days Inn is perfectly ok accommodation fopr a night or two, but the lick of paint that has been applied to all surfaces in the rooms doesn't really disguise the fact that this is a property that has seen better days and feels cheap and basic. The shower was badly under-powered, there was only one pillow, and the paint job was pretty dreadful (they even painted the bathroom tiles!).

Our bed was terrible, noisy, creeky springs that poke you in the side as you lie down. I've slept in a lot of budget hotels over the years and never had a bed anywhere near that bad. The staff member on night shift did their best to help and were very pleasent but with no other rooms available there wasn't much they could do. The manager in the morning was no help and offered no apology. Room cleanliness was fine and condition is not to far off the norm for a roadside services hotel. Just a shame to barely sleep when that is the only reason you are there.

This was excellent for the price. Very convenient for our drive as easy off the motorway and easy to get back on southbound way. The views were stunning and the outside of the building brick fitted the setting. Also never seen so many dogs at one hotel. Although room smelt damp staff and everything else made this no issue. Can easy forget where you are when taking in the view and sitting out the back

Everything is tired and shabby. Wouldn't have liked to have used the sofa bed as it was dirty and stained. For breakfast there is a Costa and McDonald's in the service station right next door with a shared seating area .
