    Location superb-red squirrels wonderful Good breakfast. Staff all excellent.
  • Cowell

    Excellent location, near motorway, but seemed much more 'away from it all' with a lovely walk along stream through woods.
  • Philip

    The location was a quiet countryside one near a fast flowing river and small forest off the M6. A large hotel which needs to be approached from the A6 rather than the B road as the tarmac single track had very large potholes difficult to miss.
  • Alan

    More than adequate bedroom and bathroom. Both well heated. Satisfactory, standard dinner and breakfast fare but good service considering the hotel had three large coach parties also dining there. Early 20th century luxury decor in public rooms...

    I often stay at Shap Wells to break a journey north. I like to visit the red squirrels and birds in the woods next to the hotel.

    Beautiful old hotel. The entrance and lobby are stunning as is the old lift. Fair sized bedrooms, good parking area. Great breakfast options including fried bread which i had not had for years. Very helpful and friendly staff.
  • Margaret

    It is a beautifully appointed historic establishment, with very comfortable rooms. Staff are polite and helpful, and quietly attend to everything, no pomposity. Gentle walks in the grounds.
