Hotels in Kendal, a poem by Susan Pittock

I need a hotel in Kendal

My room with a view of the fells

With bathroom en suite, an affordable treat,

To relax and rejuvenate my cells.

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

My room with a view of the lake

With flat screen TV and Wi-Fi for free

And a cafe serving homemade cake.

I need a hotel in Kendal

My room for a family of four

Fluffy towels and clean beds to lay our weary heads

And do not disturb on the door

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

With room for the dog as well

His name is Pete he likes doggy treats

And he never leaves a smell

I need a hotel in Kendal

My room with wheelchair access

Bars around the bath and easy use taps

All on the ground floor I guess

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

Just off the M6 south bound

Car parking free and Costa coffee

Someplace that’s easily found

I need a hotel in Kendal

Staffed 24 hours a day

So if I’m late I won’t get in a state

Just turn up, check in and stay

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

For me and my many work mates

To meet talk and do business

Just ring and arrange all the dates

I need a hotel in Kendal

That’s quiet and out of the way

Where no one knows or disturbs you

And leaves you to work rest and play!

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

To break my journey to Wales

I need a few hours, a meal and a shower

I now have fresh wind in my sails

I need a hotel in Kendal

For guests of a family wedding

With presents galore, confetti on the floor

And coming back drunk I’m dreading

 I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

A weekend away with the wife

To enjoy all the views and some home cooked pub food

To enjoy all the good thing in life

I’ll book the Days Inn in Kendal

Where the team are all friendly and kind

Not cold and uncaring, but open to sharing

And give you great peace of mind.
