Ravenstonedale / Kirkby Stephen

"We loved our stay at mallard Lodge and would definitely recommend. The weather was awful but expected in January but it didn't stop the kids fun. Lots of places to see. Great walks. Was wonderful to return to a warm, cosy lodge and a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Not fantastic TV reception or WiFi but we were there to escape all that. Anything we needed help with, selina was only a call away. We are looking forward to visiting again. X"

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 The decor is outdated, it would have been a fantastic place in its heyday.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."

The George Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasant stay at The George, lovely breakfast and bar area. Very relaxing visit."

Macdonald Leeming House

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here twice now beautiful hotel great staff amazing place to relax beautiful views"
