I had a lovely stay at The Three Shires Inn which is in the lovely, quiet spot in the middle of the countryside. Loved seeing the mountains and sheep. I would highly recommend.

The heating & hot water was not working when we arrived. There was no customer support from the staff. An electric radiator could have been put in the room to preheat it and courtesy tea/coffee provided as it was cold and snow forecast. We felt there should have been someone experienced managing the situation. Therefore we decided to cancel annd leave after waiting for three hours.

Room was spotless and very spacious. Bathroom modern and shower worked great. Plenty of walking routes from the hotel and a warm welcoming log fire to return to after a good days walking. Food was very well presented and tasty. Special mention to the lovely staff, very pleasant and nothing too much trouble.

Helpful staff and the Lingmoor Fell suite is brilliant. Great choice of wine. Food lets it down. Breakfast beans and eggs were poor quality. If you do table service carry it through to making and serving toast. Cheap sachets and jams. Sausages changed day to day. Had chicken pie which was good. Game pie indigestible and onion bhaji too big and dry with a tiny amount of yoghurt dip.small changes would make it sonmuch better. Service friendly. Just not as good on food as it could be.

Lovely views and lovely dinner. The evening meal was delicious, expensive but very good indeed. ,The breakfast sadly let them down. Tough mushrooms that I couldn't cut and dry black pudding. I needed to ask for my poached egg to be runny. All very overcooked or likely left on a heat shelf for too long. People very friendly and helpful. Nice room although smaller than anticipated and a shame we were above the kitchen to gain the smell of garlic which lingered but overall a nice trip.
