Which area of Kendal is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?

The town centre itself, particularly around Highgate and Stricklandgate, provides a good selection of hotels, many of which welcome pets. Staying here means you're a short walk from the River Kent and various parks, which are superb for dog walking. You'll also find a good range of shops and eateries that can accommodate pets in outdoor areas.

For those travelling with dogs, the areas just outside the immediate town centre, such as those near the A6 or A591, often have hotels with their own grounds or are closer to larger open spaces like Kendal Castle or the Helm.

What pet-friendly activities should we do in Kendal?
The best pet-friendly activities in Kendal involve exploring the town's natural surroundings and its welcoming outdoor spaces.

For a walk with your furry friend, the Kendal Castle ruins offer a nice outing. It's a short, uphill walk from the town centre to the castle, providing good views over Kendal and the surrounding fells. The open grounds around the ruins are superb for a dog to stretch its legs, and there are often other dog walkers about.

Another excellent option is a stroll along the River Kent. There are footpaths running alongside the river in various sections of the town, offering a flat and accessible route. You can start near Abbot Hall and follow the path for a relaxing walk, enjoying the riverside scenery.
Can I cancel my pet-friendly hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right pet-friendly hotel in Kendal for you.
Do any Kendal hotels have restrictions on pet sizes or breeds?
First ensure you have picked a pet-friendly hotel by using the "Pet friendly" filter under the "Amenities" section in your search. If a hotel in Kendal has restrictions on pet sizes or breeds, you will find this information clearly in their property listing on Expedia. When you're on the property listing page, simply click on "Policies" to see what pet-specific policies the hotel implements.
How can I save on a pet-friendly hotel in Kendal with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a pet-friendly hotel in Kendal. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards program, to unlock Member Prices across a range of premium hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your pet-friendly hotel booking.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Kendal?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones. When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Kendal cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Kendal from AU$71 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a pet-friendly hotel in Kendal as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
