Absolutely fabulous overnight stay. The place is spotless, the food was amazing. Rooms modern and comfortable despite it being a beautiful old building. Customer service was great too. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Thus us the second time in the past five years that my family and I have booked a multi-day stay at the Three Shires Inn. This time, again, we were enormously pleased with our visit. The amenities, the food, the location, and particularly the staff were all first-rate. As was the weather, surprisingly. Only the traffic on the narrow roads was a challenge.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, good food, lovely clean room, nice outdoor seating area to enjoy the beautiful views. We never had a problem parking but space is limited. You need a car to drive to other locations or be extremely fit! The rooms are up a relatively steep staircase so enquire if you have mobility issues.

The hotel is beautifully situated on the side of a peaceful valley . Lots of lovely walks around. Great food , friendly service, beautifully furnished. Heartily recommended!
Christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely views and lovely dinner. The evening meal was delicious, expensive but very good indeed. ,The breakfast sadly let them down. Tough mushrooms that I couldn't cut and dry black pudding. I needed to ask for my poached egg to be runny. All very overcooked or likely left on a heat shelf for too long. People very friendly and helpful. Nice room although smaller than anticipated and a shame we were above the kitchen to gain the smell of garlic which lingered but overall a nice trip.

Lovely

We had a friendly welcome at the hotel from the staff. Located in the Langdales with beautiful scenery. We had dinner on 2 evenings and the room had everything you could want plus a bit of space- lovely!

Magnífico pequeño hotel con habitaciones reformadas y con mucho encanto. Muy práctico para hacer senderismo desde el propio hotel. La cocina, tanto para los desayunos como las cenas, es buenísima. El personal muy atento, agradable y profesional.

This property is excellent but it is very remote. A car is essential to travel over very narrow roads to get anywhere.
Roy, 2-night trip

Stunning and peaceful location. We had dinner and breakfast, and both were delicious with locally sourced produce. The suite was lovely with a private patio next to a running stream. Highly recommend

Cosy night in the lakes

Arrived late afternoon. Reception was all ready for our arrival, so hassle free. Booked in for the evening meal and had some refreshments before viewing the room. Very happy with the room and really clean. Had our meal and were happy enough with all the food, very tasty. The bar lounge was comfortable and a decent drinks selection on other, an excellent whiskey selection was also available. The staff did ask if anyone required more drinks as they were closing the between 9pm and 10pm. I guess if more were in, it might stay open longer. We slept really well and were very happy with the breakfast the following morning. The staff were very attentive and professional. We'd certainly come back.
