Very good

Lovely location. Stayed in accessible room 94. Very good access. Very comfortable.
Staff brilliant and helpful. Breakfast very good. Would highly recommend.
Staff very friendly in all departments, food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Room although on the small side was adequate, however some areas hadn’t been cleaned to a reasonable standard. The downstairs areas were very clean and had been updated.
We stayed for one night. It was pleasant enough. Staff were lovely and the room was adequate but tired. In fact the whole hotel was tired looking but it is a beautiful none the less

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
In the middle of nowhere this busy hotel is managed by limited staff that seem to have great passion for your enjoyment at heart
It's a great base to explore the area but transport is essential. Close to the motorway makes it easily accessible and situated in a small woodland keeps it quiet and peaceful
The hotel itself is moderate but clean and well presented with good parking although the acees roads to the property are a little narrow and potholey. The restaurant menu is a bit limited but food is good on the hole with a well stocked bar and cosy bar area
I would certainly stop again when visiting the area !
The hotel is remote and access roads are full of pot holes...take it slow! The hotel is dated and overpriced. The bedrooms are small and very tired looking. The bathroom wasnt clean and needs to be replaced.
For one night it is ok, especially after a long drive, if you like 70/80's decor then this is for you.
We stay at shap wells about 4 times per year and once again we had a wonderful stay, staff are very friendly and professional and they always let us have a basement room for our sausage dog, we will be back again soon, thank you Paul and Marion machin
Quite old fashioned hotel . Lovely inside and grand however rooms quite dated and tired in places.
Bathroom especially dated and no luxuries at all. The hotel had a coach party in and service was quite slow. Luckily had some drinks in car as no service and no dogs allowed in bar area !
Wouldnt recommend for single parent with kids. Staff were helpful when asked and had time but unable to see to everyone.
Compared to other hotels for.same money would not.use again .
Breakfast was great and really enjoyed it. Small selection but nice.
