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.

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.

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.

Nice for a stop over but tired
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

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 !
