    spacious room
    fantastic breakfast
    stunning views
    simple evening meals

    I had an amazing two-night stay, enjoying the spacious room and a fantastic breakfast with plenty of variety. The evening meals were somewhat simple but fine, and the location offered stunning views of red squirrels. Definitely choosing this place again!

    beautiful view
    nice touch

    Just a well-suited match for resting with good price-quality ratio. The beautiful view of the river was a nice touch. Request a bigger room if you prefer more space.

    Charming Stay with Nature's Touch

    I had a lovely time enjoying the beautiful natural grounds and watching the red squirrels right outside my room. The staff were attentive and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. I did find the bathroom facilities could use a bit more attention to detail, as there was a persistent drip.

    cozy vibe
    stunning waterfalls

    The stay was fantastic with amazing red squirrel walks and stunning waterfalls nearby. The cozy vibe of our room made our family trip special, and we loved that there were plenty of nature trails to explore right outside the door. The staff's friendliness truly enhanced our experience. it felt like a home away from home, which was quite refreshing.

    charming atmosphere
    attentive staff
    unexciting dinners
    remote location
    average breakfast

    A clean and pleasant stay, featuring a lovely mix of old-fashioned charm and character. The food was decent, especially the fresh fish, though dinner lacked excitement. It's a bit remote, which may not suit everyone, but the attentive staff and serene location made up for some shortcomings.

    country location

    It was just a suitable option for a transient stop in Shap with attractive and competitive value for money. Staff were very polite and friendly, making the stay more enjoyable. Be prepared for non-modern bathrooms if you want to stay here.

    stunning scenery
    comfortable bed

    Definitely a nice spot for couples

    The scenery was stunning around the hotel and the bed was comfortable, just a bit small for my taste. The lounge area was nice too, a great place to unwind after a long day.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still manageable.

    beautiful surroundings
    polite staff
    outdated decor
    bland food
    limited menu choices

    The beautiful surroundings and the charming sight of red squirrels were highlights during the stay. While the room was clean and the staff very polite, the overall decor felt outdated, reminiscent of a bygone era. The dining experience was disappointing. the fixed menu left much to be desired, especially the bland mains. Breakfast had its merits, with a good buffet spread, but overall, the hotel feels like it needs significant investment to truly shine.

    Cozy and Charming Stay

    Just came back from a chilled one-night stay. The staff were super friendly and helped us right away when we had an issue. The food was decent, especially the breakfast – who doesn't love a good cooked brekkie? Only thing was, the hotel felt a bit worn out in some spots.
