Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been going to the lakes on fishing trips for the last 20 years. I can honestly say that the Priory Hotel has been the most pleasurable, best value, stop over yet. It’s staff, rooms and breakfast in particular, are absolutely fantastic. Great service, spotlessly clean and courteous, helpful team, how refreshing to find this in the UK. Cannot recommend this charming hotel highly enough 😎🎣

Myself and my husband stayed at the Priory hotel in Cartmel for 2 nights. The staff were amazing and the hotel and food was lovely. They don’t have any parking but you can park in the racecourse for £10 overnight and it is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. I could not fault it. Cartmel is lovely with plenty of pubs to eat and drink. I would recommend that you book a table as it gets very busy. We went to Grange over sands which again was a lovely village and only 10-15 minutes away with a pier, great for dogs. Windermere was about 30 minutes away. I would highly recommend this hotel. The only downside was that the bar shut at 7pm and food finished at 4pm but that could be because it was midweek. The other pubs served food until about 9 pm

Really good hotel. No fuss. Quality bed, room, bathroom, breakfast, service, friendliness, helpfulness. Spotless clean. Character buiding but not over the top. Lovely setting. Watch out locally though, getting food after 8pm is an issue. Even though there are 3 nice pubs in the village! I hope to return. (But eat early!)

Spent a day recently in and around Cartmel. Lots of places to eat and we were spoiled for choice. We decided to opt for a meal at the Priory Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome and as we had our dog with us we were delighted that it was dog friendly. It was a very warm day and though we could have eaten inside, we opted to have a drink in the beer garden before we ordering our meal. The proprietor said that they would be very happy to serve our meal in the well shaded beer garden. We both ordered the freshly cooked beer battered fish, which was was served with chips peas and tartare sauce. The portion was generous offering excellent value - always a bonus when you are hungry! The meal was well cooked and beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The warm friendly welcome, and the lovely meal combined with excellent customer service made our day. I would highly recommend the Hotel for a meal and as a family we would like to try out the accommodation on a future mini break. Well done and thanks to the proprietor/ manager, the front of house staff and to those who work behind the scenes. Best Wishes from Sandra, Richard and Cleo Doodle

Visited for an Afternoon Tea and we really enjoyed it. Great to have a choice of sandwiches and there was a good balance of savoury and sweet. We were lucky that it was a sunny day and being able to eat in the private area outside was a bonus. We will definitely be back.

A lovely friendly welcome on arrival, our room was delightful, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We didn't eat in but had a front door key to let ourselves in. Breakfast was lovely with efficient and friendly service. I would thoroughly recommend staying at the Priory in the stunning village of Cartmel.

Nice hotel in the heart of Cartmel, good sized room with nice bathroom, the room however was incredibly hot so I had to turn the radiators down and due to the fact the toilets for the bar were below our room there was constant noise . Breakfast was excellent just far too much food!! Well priced
