John
Wonderfully authentic Lakeland Inn.Our stay was peaceful with so many opportunities for walks straight from the door.Limited options available for dinner, would have appreciated more choices.cooked breakfast was very good but some yoghurt, fruit would have been welcome.Selection of beers at the bar was very good.The staff work extremely hard but we thought an extra member of staff would have helped to reduce waiting times at dinner and breakfast
Sara
Cute and historic Inn, friendly guy in reception who also served at dinner, local lad. Loved the location and beautiful sunset during our after dinner stroll towards cathedral caves, nothing but us, the sheep and the hills.
Colin
Had a great stay, very helpful staff
Sarah
This was a little bit of luxury as we usually stay in a campervan. It lived up to it's expectations and I would highly recommend it.
jennifer
Well equipped room and nice services
Edward
Amazing room,
mr m a
The young man running the Three Shires is a credit to you. Hard working and still polite with a sense of humour.
Rebecca
Room was a good size and comfy. Clean. However staff were largely disinterested
SIMON
The heating & hot water was not working when we arrived. There was no customer support from the staff. An electric radiator could have been put in the room to preheat it and courtesy tea/coffee provided as it was cold and snow forecast. We felt there should have been someone experienced managing the situation. Therefore we decided to cancel annd leave after waiting for three hours.
Rebecca
Room was spotless and very spacious. Bathroom modern and shower worked great. Plenty of walking routes from the hotel and a warm welcoming log fire to return to after a good days walking. Food was very well presented and tasty. Special mention to the lovely staff, very pleasant and nothing too much trouble.
Robin
Clean room. Staff really helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic. Bar and restaurant really good
Lottie
I had a lovely stay at The Three Shires Inn which is in the lovely, quiet spot in the middle of the countryside. Loved seeing the mountains and sheep.
I would highly recommend.

Christine
Helpful staff and the Lingmoor Fell suite is brilliant. Great choice of wine.
Food lets it down. Breakfast beans and eggs were poor quality. If you do table service carry it through to making and serving toast. Cheap sachets and jams. Sausages changed day to day. Had chicken pie which was good. Game pie indigestible and onion bhaji too big and dry with a tiny amount of yoghurt dip.small changes would make it sonmuch better. Service friendly. Just not as good on food as it could be.

Really great value for money, lovely surroundings and beautiful hotel.
Sally
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.
Hanna
Place was amazing, quiet, beautiful. The staff were great 😊😊😊we had great time
Oliver

Louise
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!
Ross
Very clean, big room and comfy bed - certainly will stay here again.
Roy
This property is excellent but it is very remote. A car is essential to travel over very narrow roads to get anywhere.
Benjamin
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
Heather
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.
Graeme

Great location.

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.

Birthday getaway
We had a superb stay at this lovely hotel in a beautiful place topped off with some delicious food in the evening all in all brilliant we will be coming back
Julie
Food was great
Newly refurbished hotel. We stayed in a standard double which was nicely appointed . The bed however was very bouncy and the floorboards creaky. The walls are thin as I could hear the person in the next room snoring.
The food was of a high standard both for dinner and breakfast.
I would recommend staying but would book a twin next time

The location
Subina
Really Lovely, very short stay for us. Stay was perfect
Area is serene and beautiful however just felt a little isolated and hardly any lighting on the streets making it a little unsafe when driving in the dark. Although was perfect location for the hike we wanted to join in the morning.

An excellent weekend stay
Booked on line for a weekend visiting Family. Booking was straight forward. Googled the location and was easy to find - the roads however are narrow with few passing places. Some drivers will drive too quickly which makes live interesting.
The hotel has parking spaces which quickly fill, although we didnt have a problem The beer garden is comfortable with plenty of areas for shade. Lovely hanging baskets and plants. Lovely views!
The bar was nice, the checkin process was quick and simple, everything was ready for us.
The room was simply furnished but very comfortable - the mattress was very springy.
The bathroom was very nice, the TV had all the channels we would want.
We didnt stay for dinner the first night but did the second, choice was good and very nice.
Breakfast wasnt too big but very nice.
Checkout was easy.
All in all I would definately stay there again!

Great place to stay.
What a lovely place to stay. Room was lovely and the photos on the web don’t do the palace justice it’s even prettier in the flesh. The view from the room was stunning and the staff went over and above. Breakfast was yummy. Highly recommended!
Jill

really perfect accommodation!! staff, food, cleanliness, circumstance….. everything was fantastic!
John
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.
Glenys
A real gem
We were welcomed by Gary who was very attentive & worked very hard throughout our stay. We were upgraded to a beautiful room which was a nice surprise. Food was excellent & overall we had a very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.
