Pleasant stay but could be better
Pros:

Hotel staff was very friendly and tried to be accomodating. The room was very clean and comfortable, and I found the bed comfortable too.

Cons:

For a 4-star hotel, I'd like to point out a few things that could be constructive feedback. I believe the hotel might be understaffed as in the morning there was no one at reception for about 30-40 minutes. Also, it would be handy to have slippers in the room to be able to use the pool as well as hairdryers in the bathrooms - or to be able to request them either by having someone in reception. Lastly, our room had a connecting door which was ofc locked but we could hear noise from the room next door.

Ok! I would probably visit again.
Pros:

Nice building, nice big room with a lovely view.

Cons:

There seemed to be limited information available about the hotel and few staff to ask. There was no obvious info about food availability in the evening. And no crisps/snacks at the bar?
In the morning, I was 10 mins too early to order a cooked breakfast so had cereal. Before I’d finished my toast, people were getting cooked breakfasts! Maybe you could be more flexible about this ?

Could be a lot better
Pros:

Location & breakfast were good

Cons:

Small beds no air conditioning the British summer is too warm now all hotels should think strongly about getting air conditioning fitted half of the leisure facilities weren't working. Toilet had a crack in it so that made a noise every time you sat on it and the plunger for the bath plug would not release

Renovated hotel with EV charging point
Pros:

Recently renovated hotel with nice common areas and rooms. Spa and swimming pool a great bonus. EV charging point at reasonable price (compared to motorway services) and 20 minutes away from Kendal centre.

Uncomfortable because of the weather and allocation of the room
Pros:

I liked the pool area and the breakfast was great.

Cons:

The room we were allocated was just a standard room even though I paid for a king size superior room. I asked the receptionist whether they was a mistake and she said that’s the right room.
The room was small and very warm. There was only a small fan which didn’t work to our satisfaction. I have health problems and so was very uncomfortable.
The service in the dining room was slow especially at breakfast time on Sunday when there was only one person doing all the jobs.
