Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay and I will certainly be returning in the near future when I tick off some more Wainwrights! The room was newly refurbished to a high standard, all the staff are really friendly and helpful and the Cumbrian breakfast is excellent but not for the feint of heart!

The Eagle & Child is a cosy characterful pub in a quiet village just outside Kendal. It's our favourite place to stay for visits to relatives in the area. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the rooms clean and cosy with comfortable beds and well equiped bathrooms and the breakfast excellent. This was our third stay and it won't be our last.

The Eagle and Child offered a very pleasant stay, in a local pub. The staff were all lovely, helpful and polite, the food was very good, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was good for me as I wanted a stop for 2 nights as driving up to Scotland. Price was good. Definitely stay again.

Check this place out

Perfect location for the lakes -Afternoon spent around Windermere [5min drive down the road] - We used it as a stop off on the way up to Murrayfield [Edingburgh] which worked out perfectly. Old English style pub with bags of character, spent the early evening by the open fire talking to the locals before dinner and the Quiz night. Highly recommended; we will be back for the lakes and some Fells.

Even though it was probably the wettest day of the year, the welcome from the staff at the Eagle and child was warm and friendly. We arrived early and they gave us our room anyways, comfortable pub style rooms, with small but efficient bathroom set-up. Cozy bar with a fire going, great for pre-dinner drinks. We ate out with friends so can't comment on dinner choices but the breakfast was amazing. All in all good value for a comfortable pub stay
