Most enjoyable

My wife and I were looking for for a relaxing break at a comfortable hotel with good food and service. We found all these at Appleby Manor and the staff were exceptionally helpful and good humoured.

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'.

One night stay

Very well organised and welcoming.
Dinner was exceptionally good.

Lovely winter break

We had a very nice 2night break at Appleby Manor. Nice food,very comfortable bed and big fluffy towels. My wife used the spa facilities and was very impressed by them.

Lovely rooms and ambience

Our room was very good, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom looked as though it had been recently refurbished and it was great, lashings of hot water and a powerful shower, just what you need on a walking break. We didn't use any of the spa facilities.
The main restaurant was classed as fine dining, and the hotel has 2 rosettes. Whilst the food was OK it was not up to the same standard as other 2 rosette hotels we have stayed in - nothing particularly wrong with the food but no "wow" factor. That said we did have the afternoon tea on one day and that was fantastic! If the evening meals were at the same standard as the afternoon tea I would have graded it higher. However, overall the style of the hotel and the pleasant staff made this an enjoyable stay.

Charming Appleby Manor lost for words

The room, food and service were well beyond par. The location is so convenient 40 mins to Windermere Lake and such an enchanting family atmosphere. Thank you.

Happy overall

We were happy with our overnight stay. The following are not complaints, just observations: the beds and pillows ere rather hard; the bathroom was lovely but had nowhere to put toiletries; the restaurant staff in the evening were inexperienced and a little slow (they were excellent at breakfast). The food in the restaurant was delicious but the service did let it down. Overall though this was a lovely start to our touring holiday
