About

Bill & Pauline Connell would like to welcome you to The Glen, a family-run guest house in Oxenholme, Kendal.

Awarded 4* by Visit England, we are proud of our reputation for clean, comfortable accommodation with excellent breakfasts using quality local ingredients and relaxed, friendly service.

Close to good road and rail networks, we are an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, while being only a 2- hour train journey from Edinburgh and 3 hours from London.

We welcome well-behaved pets, in most of our rooms, by prior arrangement. (Please note that we do not allow pets in the double suite or king room.)

Situated in a quiet location under ‘The Helm’, close to Oxenholme Lake District railway station and with easy access to Kendal and the Lake District National Park. Guests can take advantage of free parking and secure cycle and motorbike storage as well as drying facilities.

All of our en-suite rooms are individually decorated and have a seating area, free Wi-Fi, colour TV, tea/coffee-making facilities and complimentary toiletries. We have a single/twin room, two standard doubles, a double suite, a family suite and a ground floor twin/king/family suite.

Breakfast is served between 8 and 9 am in our newly refurbished dining room, comprising a buffet selection of cereals, fresh fruit and yogurt with hot food cooked to order.
