Having been touring the lakes all day and driving back home called in 'on-speck' at The County for a meal -- and what a surprise. Hot shrimps to start and Steak and ale pie to follow both cooked to the highest standards. My wife had Pear ,walnut and stilton starter followed by carbonara which had loads of ham and parmesan...

I was a bit dubious when I booked this hotel - it was the only room I could find on a bank holiday weekend, and the other reviews are mediocre. So what a pleasant surprise! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kids food was priced accordingly so no stumping up for a full breakfast when they only ate... More

Arrived late to grab some food. We found it was Italian night so opted for that menu and I must say the food was AMAZING and reasonable prices, I expected it to be the usual pub grub however we were delighted with our meal all tasted fresh and homemade. Even my 2 year old finished his plate. The service was... More

Forget Toby with your shoddy peas! This is the carvery to come too. Real veg, leeks in white sauce, carrot and turnip mashed, real roasties and plenty of meat best around! Love ly staff also eaten off normal menu my husbands jacket was huge and my real beef baguette and real chips was yum!!!

Recently stayed overnight and found the staff helpful in contrast to other comments on this site. The room was clean and served a purpose but suffered from noise with other guests coming and going. Breakfast was adequate if a bit expensive at £10.95 similarly the room was expensive for what it was. Overall - acceptable

As we were having this conversation the Manageress who was... More

Visited The County Hotel for the first time today with a local group for a pre-Christmas get-together (c30 people). Despite the booking having been made several weeks earlier there had been no attempt to even set the tables properly let alone decorate them. The ''manageress'' had a very unfortunate, unwelcomimg manner & had obviously not heard of customer service! The... More

Stayed one night on a B&B basis. Receptionist pleasant and helpful. Room large but cold (soon remedied by turning up radiators). Both room and bathroom clean. Full breakfast excellent and made to order. Perhaps a little expensive at £75 for room only. Overall though can't complain too much and would stay again but would ring direct having seen 'Rooms for... More

On arrival we were greeted by a lady who showed us to our room the room itself was very clean and not much noise from the road outside which the wife was happy about. The... More
