Why we love it
The setting
Castle Green Hotel is set on its own grounds on the outskirts of Kendal, about 2 km from the centre and on the doorstep of the Lake District National Park. The setting is green and quiet, with a garden and terrace looking out over the surrounding countryside. It is close enough to walk into Kendal for shops and museums, yet far enough out to feel calm after a day on the fells. Drive south and you reach Windermere and the central lakes in well under half an hour.
What to expect
The hotel pairs a spa with proper dining and comfortable rooms. There is an indoor pool, a steam room and a fitness area, so you can swim or unwind between walks. Two places to eat sit on site: a restaurant for evening meals and a bar and grill with outdoor seating under orange parasols. Rooms are warm and modern, many with views over the grounds. Parking on site is free, which helps if you plan to drive out into the national park each day.
Things to do nearby
Kendal itself is an easy walk or short drive away. The Quaker Tapestry Museum sits about 1.5 km from the hotel, and the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry is a touch further at 1.6 km. The Brewery Arts Centre, at roughly 1.8 km, runs film, theatre and live music through the year. Beyond the town the southern Lake District opens up quickly, with Windermere, Kendal Castle and the walking trails of the fells all within easy reach of the car.
Best for
This one suits couples who want walking days in the Lake District with a spa and a good dinner to come back to. It also works for anyone who likes a quiet base with free parking and easy access to both Kendal and the lakes.
