Riverside Hotel
The parking was easy & we walked everywhere in the town so didn’t use the car at all. The staff in the bar were friendly and helpful. We ate there both nights.

Shap Wells Hotel
The staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The food was very good. The hotel is very comfortable, well furnished and very quiet being a little remote. No outside noise and very little noise inside the hotel even with coach parties staying over. Looking forward to my next visit.

Days Inn by Wyndham Kendal Killington Lake
So checkin staff was great, but rooms were so tired, and whole place was dark and miserable. Parking was basically in the service station, which did not feel at all secure. Again, staff were great and helpful.
