Stayed 1 night on a living social voucher, lovely hotel, nice room, lovely food and beer. Pet friendly with a nice welcome letter for our dog from the resident dog. There was lovely garden at the end of the corridor to let the dog out. The breakfast was lovely. Would definitely stay again

We stayed here for 2 nights on a Friday/Saturday. The room was a double and while not huge was modern and clean. We got the one above the bar/entrance and were prepared for the noise but it wasn't too bad at all (although you do get a bit through the floor). It did have a lovely view out of the... More

This 17th Century inn is well worth a visit if you are looking for accommodation in the Appleby area. We stayed in a Premier Garden Room with direct access to the garden which would be lovely during the warmer weather. Good points: Well and tastefully decorated rooms. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom with superior walk in shower and fluffy towels. Plenty... More

We booked through a Living Social deal, what a great place, nice comfortable clean room, friendly helpful staff and excellant food - nice touch welcome pack for the dog. The weather was appaling but it didn;t distract from the relaxing comfortable pre christmas break - would certainly stay again.
