About The Wheatsheaf Inn
The Wheatsheaf Inn suits those after a no-fuss stopover on the edge of the Lake District rather than a grand hotel experience. With just six rooms, it has the feel of a proper local pub with beds upstairs, and its Kendal setting makes it a handy base for reaching the wider fells and lakes without paying city prices.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, and guests can expect breakfast on site along with a restaurant and bar for evening meals and a drink. Free WiFi is available throughout, and there's a garden for warmer days plus 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes it straightforward for those arriving by car.
Beyond the inn itself, the surrounding area offers walking and cycling routes, golf, fishing, horse riding and watersports, along with further pubs and restaurants nearby for those who fancy a change of scene. It's a fitting choice for walkers, cyclists and anyone using Kendal as a launchpad into Cumbria rather than a destination in itself.
