Sonata Guest House

I've stayed at this lovely guest house for the 3rd time during our holidays to lake district and Scotland. Amazing guest house with all the necessary things you expect for a comfortable stay that you could ever ask for. Welcome treats, slippers, dressing gowns and even luxury toiletries provided. The breakfast was excellent (see the picture 😀 )and the host is very nice and friendly. I would definitely visit again 👍

Delightful B&B for a visit to Kendal and the wider Lake District. There is nothing bad I can say about the Sonata Guest House. Kendal is a great base for exploring the southern Lake District while the B&B itself is well located within Kendal - easy to walk into the town centre for food and drinks on an evening. Our room was very clean and stocked with all amenities - biscuits, coffees, teas, waters, toiletries, etc. Breakfast was lovely and filling each morning, and the check-in and check-out process was easy. I'd highly recommend it and would happily stay here again in the future.

We stayed here for one night over the weekend in room 4, outstanding!! The room was beautiful and had everything you could want for your stay, lovely fluffy towels, slippers and dressing gowns and the toiletries were lovely. The bed was super comfy with plump pillows. Inoka and Chris were the perfect hosts. Thank you so so much!! Oh, and not forgetting the breakfast!! 10/10. I would absolutely definitely recommend the Sonata guest house and we will definitely be returning!!

Fantastic service! Sonata Guest House is a fantastic place to stay in Kendal Town Centre. My colleagues and I stayed there on business and it was the perfect choice - close to the town but quiet enough for much needed, good night's sleep. Beds are comfortable, service is excellent - of the highest standard, with the owners going well out of their way to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. And they're friendly, to boot. Breakfast choice was varied and the food was excellent. Excellent selection of refreshments provided in the rooms too. Plus a parking permit. I couldn't fault this lovely little B&B. Well worth staying here.

With Sonata Guest house you get a warm welcome, very nice room with ensuite and brilliant breakfast to suit people who like full English, fruit and yogurts and cereals alike. Also tea and coffee and fruit juices to suit your thirst. With a very nice clean room a quiet evening goodnight sleep and welcoming people excellent breakfast there's nothing I can think of that could be a downside for this guest house and I would strongly recommend it to anybody to go for one night or a week brilliant

I really enjoyed my stay at Sonata and was made to feel very welcome by Chris and Inoka. The room and en-suite bathroom were immaculate and the veggie breakfast was outstanding - just what was required for a few hours walking the hills. I'd have no hesitation staying at Sonata again.

Well placed near the centre of the town. Room small but comfortable and Inoka is very helpful. Breakfast is excellent, try the scrambled eggs with salmon.

Faultless stay at this charming guesthouse in Kendal. Chris and Inoka are great hosts, with a background in hospitality their attention to detail in the guest experience really does show. The room I stayed in wasn't one of the refurbished rooms but was nevertheless perfectly adequate for a three-night stay in December. A hot and powerful shower proved welcome after days walking across snowy fells, the blackout blind and premium bedding gave me a great night's sleep (although I did throw sweater over the clock radio's display which brightly illuminated the room). A strong and stable Wifi connection enabled me to check weather conditions, bus timetables, maps and upload my routes to Garmin. The breakfast (and for that matter the in-room cosmetics) ingredients are admirably locally-obtained and generously cooked and served. The buffet options are neatly presented and there's a good choice of cereals for those who've not yet kicked the refined sugar habit! As of December 2014 this is their second year and as the trade continues to establish itself it will be an even nicer place to stay with all the rooms refurbished with modern fixtures and fittings. I must admit I would have loved a lounge with a woodburner for those post-fell winter afternoons and as an American Express cardholder I'm always pleased when I can pay using that card which I couldn't at Sonata but I do understand there's a cost implication for small businesses. I would be delighted to stay with Chris & Inoka again and would wholeheartedly recommend Sonata to any travellers choosing to stay in Kendal.
