Castle Green Hotel, Kendal - A Refined Lakeland Retreat

The Castle Green Hotel, part of the BW Premier Collection, presents itself as a sophisticated 99-bedroom, 4-star destination on the fringe of the Lake District. It manages to combine the personality and passion of an independent business with the advantages of a larger, established hotel group. This is a property that understands the art of hospitality, from the initial warm greeting to the moment you discover the comforts of your room.

Location

Situated on the edge of Kendal, the Castle Green Hotel offers a prime position for exploring the natural beauty of the Lake District. Its proximity to the mainline train station at Oxenholme, with direct services from London Euston, makes it an accessible escape. While not directly within the national park, it serves as an excellent gateway, offering the chance to witness wonderful Lake District winter scenes of snow-topped fells and clear blue skies. Nearby points of interest include Sizergh Castle (5.5 km) and Abbot Hall Art Gallery (6.5 km).

Style and Character

The hotel's character is defined by its contemporary facilities and a setting that provides a breath-taking backdrop. The Greenhouse Restaurant offers chic, contemporary surroundings suitable for intimate dinners for two or larger convivial gatherings. The overall atmosphere aims for an elegant serenity, achieved through thoughtful design and a commitment to guest comfort, creating a space that feels both polished and welcoming.

Service and Facilities

The Castle Green Hotel's greatest asset is undoubtedly its team of staff, who possess a natural ability to make significant events, such as New Year's Eve celebrations or weddings, as stress-free as possible. Their attention to detail and calm outlook in challenging situations are exemplary, with a banqueting manager, Christine Brown, having received accolades for her contribution to excellence. For active guests, the onsite fitness and health club, Pulse, offers two gyms, free weights, resistance equipment, a pool, and a steam room. The dedicated housekeeping team ensures a consistently relaxing and comfortable stay for all visitors.

Rooms

Accommodation at Castle Green ranges from comfortable double and twin rooms to more spacious suites. Entry-level double rooms, for instance, feature private bathrooms with a choice of bath or shower, a hairdryer, and amenities like a safe, electric kettle, and flat-screen TV. Some rooms offer garden views, while suites provide additional space with a seating area, and in some cases, a dining area. All rooms are designed with guest comfort in mind, featuring essential amenities such as heating, tea and coffee facilities, and Wi-Fi.

Food and Drink

Dining at Castle Green is a highlight, particularly in The Greenhouse Restaurant. This venue provides a romantic setting for couples seeking a special evening, offering delicious food and attentive service. For those seeking a more casual yet delightful experience, afternoon tea is a guaranteed treat. The hotel also caters to special events with impressive culinary offerings, from fabulous finger buffets to five-course dinners, complemented by entertainment from live bands and DJs, ensuring festive evenings are memorable.

Value for Money

While specific pricing varies, the hotel offers packages that represent good value, such as the option for guests to add overnight accommodation with dinner in the Greenhouse Restaurant from £129 per delegate for sole occupancy. The combination of quality dining, attentive service, and access to recreational facilities suggests a rewarding experience for the discerning traveler.

Accessibility

The hotel is equipped to accommodate a range of guest needs. While specific details on adapted rooms are not extensively provided, the overall commitment to excellent guest experience suggests an awareness of accessibility requirements. Further inquiries regarding specific facilities for guests with mobility issues would be advisable.

Family-Friendly

Castle Green Hotel appears well-suited for various gatherings, including those with family. The contemporary function spaces can accommodate from 25 to 250 guests, making it suitable for larger family celebrations. The Greenhouse Restaurant's layout is flexible, accommodating intimate dinners for two or larger groups looking for a sociable space, which translates well for families wishing to dine together.

“This is a very appealing property, especially for guests who appreciate attentive service and well-maintained facilities. The spacious rooms and on-site dining provide a comfortable and convenient experience, while the health and fitness club adds a layer of wellness. It's a strong choice for those seeking a relaxing getaway with easy access to both town and countryside.”
