We had another lovely stay at The Eagle & Child. It offers great value for money. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the bed was extremely comfortable. The en-suite shower room was a good size and the shower was powerful and hot. Tea and coffee making facilities in room with complimentary bottles of water were appreciated as were the chocolate biscuits. Breakfast was included with a great selection of fruit and cereals and a good selection of cooked options. We opted for a full Cumbrian which was cooked fresh and was a very generous portion with quality produce. We also had lunch and evening meal in the bar and both were very enjoyable. Staff and service were friendly and helpful and we look forward to our next stay

A perfect pub with rooms

We had our wedding reception at The Eagle & child 17 years ago. We stayed for one night yesterday as a trip down memory lane. The fire was roaring when we went into the pub which was a gorgeous welcome on a grey and rainy day. It feels like a proper pub- friendly staff and locals. Love the quirky decor with all sorts of random objects that have been collected. The lighting make it feel cosy. We sat all afternoon chatting and drinking. We went up to our room which was spotless and tastefully decorated. All we needed for a nights stay. We then ate in the pub - fantastic gourmet burger!! and stayed for the weekly Thursday club which was good fun. An excellent stay, perfect pub and highly recommend the accommodation. Thank you

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.

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

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.

Nice little hotel with good restaurant

Good location just 5 miles from Windermere. Pretty quiet. Room smallish but quite acceptable. En-suite clean with easy to use shower unit. Dinner service busy but able to cope easily with table of 7 - my wife; daughter, Husband and 3 children - all with different choices. Prices moderate in today's age. Take care Room 4 and 3 (?) overlooked bus stops with easy view into the room. For courtesy sake, I would suggest net curtains/ blinds as a useful addition. For a small family run hotel, staff as you would expect, friendly & helpful. Major defect for us was the 15 tog duvet - much too heavy. We had to pull it off soon after climbing in. Cover was quite heavy enough!
