This beautifully re-furbished hotel is situated in the delightful village of Dufton, near Appleby, Westmorland. The décor is superb and the rooms are furnished to a high standard. The twin beds are comfortable and the room includes tea/coffee making facilities, TV, bottled water and a hair dryer. The walk-in shower is clean with plenty of hot water and free toiletries. The lounge is spacious and clean and serves breakfast (no evening meals available). There is also a boot room and private parking. There's no reception - all done by remote communication, although clear instructions and the codes are communicated by emails. Didn’t see a sign indicating the hotel name or the main door entrance. It’s essential to book the Stag Inn for evening meals (especially Saturday), as it was fully booked, but we enjoyed having a drink outside (with a bag of crisps)! The roads are quite narrow to drive to this picturesque village.

Beautiful garden room with patio doors into the garden - comfiest bed by Sealy (locally manufactured in Cumbria) - friendliest staff (Zory was wonderful and chatty - so lovely when travelling alone on business). I will stay again (and again I hope) 🙏

Lovely room. Great breakfast

Drying room was super. It was lovely to see the red squirrels from my window too.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable room, lovely breakfast, friendly staff and great location.
