"The property was very nice with good amenities. The pool and jacuzzi was an excellent facility. However the seam room was only working once during our stay which was a shame. Staff were superb and very helpful however the menu lacked lactose free knowledge and had it not been for the young lady going above and beyond to ask the chef what could be made we would have eaten elsewhere."

"We love staying at the Shap Wells Hotel, tucked away in the folding hills of moorland, yet not far from the M6. This is a beautiful old hotel, with lots of history and it has that patina of age.., Nothing is super modern, or perfect which is wonderful, it means it still has all of its character, the wood panelling, the grandfather clock on the stairs, the super large dining room. Truly unique..!"
