Great place for a country house break

We booked a two night country house break at the Appleby Manor which included a fine dining dinner and a brasserie meal. Both were excellent.

All the staff in the hotel were very friendly, efficient and obviously well trained. The hotel is slightly old fashioned but in a nice way and suits its surroundings

A very welcoming break

A very pleasant experience. Delightful staff. Lovely view from the windows of bedroom, dining room and sitting room. The only problem was the ensuite bathroom was extremely cramped. It would have been much better to simply have a walk-in shower rather than a full-length spa bath. It was impossible to reach the soap if you were having a bath and no space to move around.

We enjoyed our stay very much apart from one thing, our room was no 4 the room was very nice apart from the toilet in the bathroom it was far too cramped.

Excellent staff and food, rooms a little old

We had a lovely 4 night stay at this property.

The building, staff and food are all lovely.

Rooms are a little out dated and could do with a refurbishment. The rooms do not have aircon which made sleeping in the hot weather a little uncomfortable.

Strangely the bar doesn t have any beer on draft, and sells bottles only.

We accessed the spa pool, and thought it was quite expensive at 20 per person for 2hrs given its small size.

Pleasant stay would revisit

The hotel is a very good base for exploring the Dales and Lake District. The staff are very attentive and friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay an enjoyable one. We stayed in the Heelis suite and although it was large with a spacious bathroom it was very warm due to hot water pipes running through the room. The restaurants were very good we tried the gourmet and bistro. We did prefer the bistro which served 'plain' food. Overall a very enjoyable stay and would stay again but chose a a 'garden room'.

Lovely location but hotel a little dark and tired!

Friendly staff, lovely location but hotel a little dark and tired! Hotel room too warm! Fine dining was very good but not so the Bistro - lack of choice of food

Nice relaxed stay

Nice hotel in a nice quiet location. Lovely modern rooms ( we chose modern rooms). Roomy, clean and nice big bed. Only criticism would be size of tv ( perhaps abit bigger would be better) also located to one side of bed low down. Other than tv location couldn t fault. Nice bathroom with great shower.restaraunt abit posh preferred the bistro. Another fault though being no drought beer, just bottled.

Very good stay

We stayed at Appleby for two nights. We have stayed here before and we had another good stay. It was the first time we had used the spa (just a small pool last time) and it was excellent. The room was clean and well maintained and the restaurant was good.
