Top Dufton Hotel Reviews

Redstones Hotel

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at this newly renovated boutique hotel and absolutely loved it! The interior design is gorgeous, and the entire place was impeccably clean—we had zero complaints about our room or the service. The only downside was the breakfast, which felt a bit too pricey for what it was. We ended up skipping it and grabbing a great breakfast en route instead. It would be wonderful if they offered a more reasonably priced breakfast option in the future. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would gladly stay here again!"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location . Lovely receiption, dining and Bar area. The rooms were clean and a little small, but the bed was good. No water in the bedroom. Bathrooms a little dated in the room we stayed in, but all clean. The food ordering with certainly different but and the chioce limited but all to a good standard. The service was quick for the amount of people eating at the same time. I would certaintly recommend this hotel."

Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge

8/10 Good

"VISITED THIS PROPERTY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY UNTIL NOW. WASNT DISSAPPOINTED EVERTHING FROM THE ROOM, BAR, FOOD INCLUDING BREAKFAST AND OF CORSE THE STAFF. THE ONLY NEGATIVES WERE LIMITED PARKING AND NO ROOM SAFE."

Troutbeck Inn

8/10 Good

"I don’t like to be checked out quite so early Good Breakfast Staff friendly"

The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed staying here. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. They are very environmentally aware and encourage guests to be mindful as well. I arrived too late for dinner but breakfast was tasty and I only stayed one night. There were families/folk enjoying the hammocks in the garden and an outdoor almost people sized game of chess."

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Having recently stayed at Langley Castle, I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in a long time. My wife and I travel extensively, and it is rare that you find somewhere where you immediately 'feel at home'. This is largely due to the genuine and warm hospitality shown by all of the staff throughout our stay. On top of this the breakfast and service in the restaurant was outstanding and certainly befitting of such a special hotel. The tour of the castle is not to be missed either. Our room, which was in the main castle itself was very impressive with a magnificent 4 poster bed and had a real feel of grandeur. Despite having exposed stone walls the room was extremely clean and free from dust which must be a real challenge in such an old building. Overall, a wonderful stay and we will be back. Highly recommended."

Westmorland Hotel Tebay

8/10 Good

"Enjoyable stay, good food, very comfortable bed. Property decor and fittings all look a bit tired, in need of refurbishment. Staff were helpful."

Appleby Castle

8/10 Good

"Very friendly staff and very nice quiet rooms ."

Foundry 34

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wedding to attend and the staff were so helpful in allowing us to check in early so we could get dressed and leave bags in our room. Rooms were clean and had everything you needed, air con was perfect and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was also lovely - would happily stay here again next time we visit Penrith. Thank you!"
