Nice pub to stay in as there isn't many places close by. The beer garden overlooking the river is nice. Food was excellent and breakfast was lovely.Staff were very nice and the waiting on staff were very busy on the Wednesday evening especially Sam eith his sqeaky shoes.

Clean, modern room and lovely views.
Great hotel, room was clean, modern and had everything we needed. The view from the room was lovely and the beer garden by the river was a pleasant surprise! The staff was kind and polite and the food was delicious and plenty. Just one thing that would be more of a recommendation than a critique - I would suggest the breakfast offers other meat options alongside pork.

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.

Had a very enjoyable stay. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts and good choice of tasty food at bar and restaurant. Delightful riverside garden. Only downside was that our room was a little small.
