About The Gateway Hotel

With just 8 rooms, The Gateway Hotel on Crook Road in Kendal is a small, straightforward base for exploring the edge of the Lake District National Park and the surrounding Cumbrian countryside. Its size means a more personal feel than larger chain hotels in the area, with en-suite bathrooms and family rooms among the options.

Guests can eat in the on-site restaurant or bar, with breakfast included, and there's a garden and outdoor seating area for relaxing outside. Rooms come with drinks provided, and free WiFi is available throughout. Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, and luggage storage is on hand for those breaking up a longer trip.

Pets are welcome, which suits guests travelling with dogs for walking country in the area. Beyond the hotel, there's a golf course nearby along with pubs, restaurants and other eateries within easy reach, giving guests options beyond the on-site facilities.
