“The lakeside setting is a definite high point, placing travelers right next to Killington Lake with immediate access to scenic views. I noted the practical perks for modern travelers, like free EV charging, along with the family-friendly touches; it's a solid choice for those prioritizing location and convenience in the Lake District. While some aspects show their age, the advantage of having essential amenities, dining options, and motorway access makes it a worthwhile stop.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Days Inn Kendal - Killington Lake from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Days Inn Kendal offers a convenient location, especially appreciated for stopovers near the Lakes and Carlisle, with the M6 motorway close by. Many guests enjoyed the spacious rooms and found the lake view amazing. The proximity to a 24-hour McDonald's and Costa Coffee is a plus for many; however, some guests have noted that the decor could use some updating. Free parking and the availability of tea and coffee-making facilities in the rooms further contribute to a comfortable stay.

Convenient Stop with Great Amenities

The staff was friendly and helpful , I appreciated their assistance with directions. The room had a good size and it included comfortable beds for a restful night. I also valued the convenience of having ample parking available onsite.

A McDonald's restaurant is located very close to the premises. It allowed us to quickly grab a bite. A Costa Coffee is also nearby and offered us another option for breakfast and coffee. The availability of these choices definitely added to our convenience.
