Top Shap Rural Hotel Reviews

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent presentation and cleanliness."

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, brilliant facilities and staff are super friendly"

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"I chose a more budget room, so my view wasnt very nice and overlooked by other rooms (the garden is lovely so maybe consider upgrading to a garden view). However, the room was large, well maintained and I didnt notice any significant cleanliness issues. Bathroom had plenty of surface space for toiletries. The car park can get quite full if an event is on. Food and drinks I thought a little pricey (large glass of wine and a burger £37). Pool was nice and lots of gym equipment."

Shap Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff are amazing never anything too much and always friendly and cheery even if somethings gone slightly upside down (internet fail on our second to last night out of their control), freshly cooked food was always amazing, some rooms are in the process of being updated but our bedroom was loveky but bathroom needed a bit of tlc for the bath. Defi ately will be returning next year to see them :)"

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay ,staff couldnt have been more helpful. Breakfast was really good quality. View beautiful. The hotel is very central to everything and would highly recommend.
