Kinder Lodge

Great breakfast. Comfortable and clean .

The staff were friendly, helpful, responsive and were very reasonable when I had booked two nights but was called away for work so could only do the one night. The location is superb for hiking and exploring and is not far from local towns and pubs for food as this pub only serves breakfasts. I didn't spend any time in the bar area but there was TV with sport on and games to play with a good selection of drinks at the bar. The building felt safe and there was a separate entrance to the rooms for guests. There was tea& coffee available and biscuits on arrival which was a nice touch. The views from the windows were great, too.

I couldn't park on the main driveway due to only 5 or 6 spaces being available (2 of which are for local residents), meaning I had to park in a local carpark which is pay & display and out of sight from the pub. This wasn't ideal after a 5 hour trip. I had expensive camping equipment in the car and left me worrying about it being broken into or stolen, plus also having to pay for parking before I checked out for the day adding to costs. I would say the room was generally clean, except there was black mould up the wall by the window, on the window frames, and in the window corners. There were also black marks on the carpet near the radiators as well as in the shower. For me, the overall quality of the room had the biggest influence on my stay. This has the potential to be a fantastic place to stay, but it desperately needs updating and some attention.

Amazing location, customer service was incredible, so friendly, welcoming and the breakfast was delicious!
