Very comfortable and friendly. Very good breakfast. Great location just off the M6. Only slight issue  was that there was no heating in the room I was initially allocated but after reporting to staff was quickly moved to a diffent room.,

Handy for the Lakes without being right in the middle of the park. Nice old Inn. Friendly welcome, ate our evening meal here. Good night's sleep, bath in our bathroom. Excellent value. Was a bit quiet for a Friday night but snow was forecast and duly arrived. Will no doubt be back

Nice hotel we stopped here a couple of nights the room was fantastic. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was lovely. Only little issue we had was a leak in the ceiling but the weather was horrendous. Will definitely be returning as we loved our stay. Thanks to all the staff.

Very accommodating friendly staff, great evening meal. Superb large, warm, comfortable room. Great breakfast. Overall, clean and well looked after establishment. Great place to stop on the coast-to-coast trek. Just bear in mind it's right at the south end of the village, especially after a long days walking.

Spent one night at the Greyhound on the coast to coast. The Greyhound appeared to have been redecorated in recent years. Unfortunately it was chaotic when we stayed possibly because it was full. Initially they could not find our booking. We were grateful to have our bag carried to our room, we were not given any information, however the information sheet in our room showed Sunday breakfast to be 8.30. We went to breakfast early 8.20 and chaos ruled. They were finishing breakfast and thought everyone had been served so they were very surprised to see us! It seemed many of the other guests were complaining. The manager stepped up, sat us in the bar and served us personally. Our breakfast turned out to be good. Organisation definitely needed improvement ie check the information sheets in the rooms, keep a check on what guests are turning up to breakfast. This is a good place to stay pity about the chaos

Staying in Shap but preferred the Greyhounds menu to the hotel where we were staying! And I have to say it was stunning! Beautiful food I had sea bass, my husband had vegan kebab and my son had peri peri chicken kebab. Service was great seated in massive squishy comfortable chairs, drinks order taken and then food followed, all of it was absolutely seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. Busy night in there too, everyone was happy and helpful♥️
