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.
