We stayed in the Sonata guest house on 05/04/2013 with our 2 small dogs. The new owners have only been in three weeks not that you would notice, this B&B is very clean,and does a large cooked breakfast, is in a good location 2 minutes walk into the centre of Kendal. We would definitely stay here again

We stay at the Sonata over the Easter weekend as we were attending a football match at KENDAL TOWN FC My wife and I and my son and his partner thought the place was the best B&B we have stayed at and we have stayed at many following our football team. The Guest House itself is very comfortable and the... More

Just spent two nights at the Sonata and our stay was absolutely perfect. Our hostess Inoka was lovely - friendly, welcoming and helpful - in a word, charming. The guest house is just a five-minute walk from the town centre, so once we'd parked up, we were able to forget about the car for two days. We were given parking... More

I stayed here with two friends in mid March. The lady who met us at the door told us that she had recently taken over the Sonata. From the start she was welcoming and helpful, and nothing seemed too much trouble. The rooms were comfortable and breakfast was what we asked for and tasty and filling. Parking around the guest...

Having read the good reviews of the Sonata I knocked on the door at about 7.00pm one night. The sign outside said there were vacancies. I asked the man who answered if he could give me a room for the night. He said he couldn't as he was full. When I pointed out his "Vacancies" sign he put his arm... More

The gentleman has since retired. I am sorry for any upset he caused you. We have now taken over the guest house and I would love to hear from you and hope you give the Sonata a second chance - we do try to provide good hospitality here, for those wanting to be within walking distance of Kendal town centre....

Super breakfast menu (juice & cereals, choice of traditional english, eggs on toast however, salmon & egg bagel, smoked fish and poached egg and honestly nothing was too much trouble so you felt like you could have asked for any combination of breakfast and it would have been provided!) very clean, warm, each radiator had its own thermostat so you...

The Sonata’s greatest asset is the proprietor. His welcome and willingness to oblige made staying there a delight. The rooms are well appointed and provide a very comfortable night’s sleep. The substantial breakfast is carefully prepared and well presented. The centre of Kendal is only a short walk away, so I found it an ideal overnight stop and will have... More
