Top Sockbridge and Tirril Hotel Reviews

County Hotel

8/10 Good

"Old hotel in good location, but a bit outdated."

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel unfortunately getting new owners and maybe different staff soon"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. Bar facility was lacking in drink selection for ladies. A cocktail menu would have been great. The decor is outdated, it would have been a fantastic place in its heyday. Dinner meals were a little average but the dessert was delicious. Overall we had a comfortable nights stay."

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Amazing staff, great location and parking The food is average and the menu is very limited, the room (19) has been updated recently but was right by the the main road and a noisy extract fan on the floor below which came on at 4.15am every morning. Overall it’s a nice big hotel that has been in the process of renovation for the last few years. It would be a much better experience if they could expand the menu and quality of the food."

Carlisle Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great. You might want to have earplugs because there’s a busy bar nearby."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and so convenient for local restaurants and shops. Parking offside took a minute or two and was really easy. Our room was very large and perfect for my disabled Mum. Breakfast and food in the bar was excellent. It was lovely to sit and relax with such a stunning view. Chantelle made sure our room was always clean and lovely to return to. All the staff were so sweet and nothing was too much trouble. Overall great value, fabulous location, gorgeous views and walkability."
