Liked: Amenities
We have stayed at Shap Wells many times, this visit proved as good as previous ones. We had a nice comfortable room and a very good evening meal, the following morning we had a very good breakfast. Before leaving we walked along the stream to see the red squirrels and they didn't disappoint, several were running around. Shap Wells has a great location, comfortable rooms, good food and friendly staff.
Bed comfortable,room nice,staff wonderful facilities very good all in all a lovely relaxing stay.our one slight complaint when we were dining in the window seats we noticed a large amount of spiders webs on the inside of the windows,(just needs a feather duster for 5mins every now and then)
Loved the stay , dog friendly , beautiful setting, great food !!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
the place was lovely and the staff especially Hannah were great although stretched to their limits, we had to wait a long time to be served at the bar. Food in the restaurant wasn't good but our feedback was dealt with swiftly and to our satisfaction.
Loved the area to see the red squirrels who came out in abundance, so lovely to see them.
Lovely location. Stayed in accessible room 94. Very good access. Very comfortable.
Staff brilliant and helpful. Breakfast very good. Would highly recommend.
