My partner and I found the hotel warm and welcoming. The restaurant was lovely and the food even better. The staff were curteous and extremely helpful prticularly Geoff, the Assistant Manager. (Hi Geoff!!) The hotel was busy when we booked in because of Appleby New Fair but the staff seemed to cope well. We didn't get the room of our... more

The staff are rude, the porters in particular - one complaining as he helped bring in our luggage remarking that we were younger than him and should be carrying our own luggage (which we were!) Cold Irish coffees with no cream, when we asked for more cream, we were brought a jug of unwhipped cream - we then asked the... more

Our 3rd stay in Appleby manor was as enjoyable as the previous ones. The ground floor room with a patio was an absolute delight. The service is good and the restaurant serves imaginative and delicious food. It is peaceful and there is a lot to do and see in the area even for those who, like me, are recovering from... more

Stayed in the coach house as the rest of the hotel was full. Nice clean quiet room with fresh towels each day. Stayed for 2 nights Sat/Sun got a deal for the stay. The first night three coarse meal for two for thirty pounds extra and the second night had an 'eat for free' offer on. Food and service very... more

I thought this venue looked nice, and indeed it has a great location on the Roman road above Appleby. I booked last minute, as I often do more homework, but we just wanted a night away. The web site looks nice, and the hotel from the outside is fine. However a number of issues. I do not think it is... more

tucked away just outside Appleby this country house/hotel is ideal for some peace and quiet, where the staff are always there but never obtrusive. Nothings to much trouble for them so when my wife and my self fancied a late afternoon dip in the indoor pool they quickly opened it up for to use at our own convenience. no TV's... more

The room was very clean and spacious but at this level of hotel we didn't expect to find UHT milk in the rooms and the room lighting was very poor. Bathroom included jacuzzi bath and small TV but spoilt by an inefficient shower and very thin, non absorbent bath towels. Food quality was the biggest dissapointment. It was very well... more

Stayed here with my family for an anniversary celebration, and was more than happy with the hotel. I had one of the Garden rooms, and the room was spacious with a great view. They could do with a bigger pool, as it is very oddly shaped and small, and some gym equipment would have been nice, however the sauna, Turkish... more
