Bit like a posh Premier inn - we love Tebay - it has the right balance of smart, clean, comfortable, quality and really good-sized rooms...but without the cold friendless atmosphere of hotels that try too hard and charge a fortune for it. Tebay for us is the perfect balance - good food too, although dining options a bit limited; wanted lamb, but it only came with black pudding. You'd never know you were just off M6 (not so keen on the shopping area - noisy and over-priced with food left open to people and flies)
