We went for a evening meal to celebrate our anniversary. Very disappoing. What we ordered was wrong on arrival. Our drinks order was delayed by 40mins and to top it off we were over charged a round of drinks. Since the 1st round took so long we didn't order a second. When I checked the receipt at home I rang... More

Staff were very friendly and we were really pleased that we could bring the dog into the hotel bar and our room with us. They had an issue with the hot water, but were really helpful and looked after us so it wasn't a problem at all. Lovely place and will definitely be back to break up our long journeys... More

Stayed only onenight at the Greyhound with our dog, to be honest it was the first time we have considered bringing him along, as i really thought it would affect the quality of the accommodation. How wrong could i be the room was absolutely faultless as was the food - breakfast was a feast and included in the price. The... More

Stayed at this hotel for only 1 night, unfortunately. The owner kindly upgraded our family suite to two separate rooms for us without any extra cost! Extremely generous of them since the two rooms were nicer than the suite! The beds were nice and comfortable, the bathroom was big and generally, the room was fabulous. Breakfast was amazing. Likewise, dinner... More

Didn't actually stay overnight but would certainly consider it in the future. We were on our way to Scotland and had couple of nights stopover in Cumbria. Came here for lunch, super home cooked food with open fires and good beer. Anyone travelling up/down the M6 should really consider this as an alternative to the motorway services. Will definitely revisit... More

We arrived at this hotel after a very wet walk in the Lake District. We were soaked through to the skin but the landlord kindly offered to wash and dry our clothes and boots for the next day. Staying in the room for 6, the hotel offered excellent value for money, and as a family of 5 it was great... More

We ate at this Hotel/pub on a recommendation. The staff were lovely and the menu a bit more interesting than your average pub grub. My son & husband had their speciality burgers which they raved about and I had the fish. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were very full.

Carpet at the entrance to hotel was a bit worn and smelt a bit. The upgraded room was very large with a high vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. There were a few things missing from the room inc towels and toilet paper, but the landlord delivered them quickly. If you are really picky you probably won't like the room. There... More

We came off the motorway into Shap with no bookings. Started at the northern end of town and looked for accommodation as we went south and found nothing to offer so were facing the thought of continuing on even though we were tired when we reached the Greyhound. No standard rooms left but we took a deluxe double at a... More
