The New Inn 1730

Appleby-in-Westmorland

"Our stay at the New Inn 1730 was only overnight, and we arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening. This is a welcoming & friendly pub, with restaurant and accommodation. The owner did his best to accommodate our needs during our short stay, and is still finding his feet a little having only recently taken on the business. Food options were limited when we arrived, particularly for our two fussy children, so we did eat elsewhere that night, but the cooked breakfast in the morning was very good,...

Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"we liked the pool and sauna facilities, the lovely veiw if the lake,"

Lakes Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"reception staff were very welcoming as well as efficient bar staff were good but sometimes unaware of clients needs outside on the patio breakfast staff were a little too efficient, but the breakfast was excellent basic room was very good all round and clean and the walk into Bowness quite easy entrance steps a little difficult for the elderly...no rail plenty of parking...but it should be free I would visit again"

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice welcome from reception and help with bags. Room very comfortable and clean but a bit stuffy due to exceptionally warm weather and no AC in room which can’t be helped but had brought our own cooling fan in addition to the one provided by the hotel. No bar service outside so had to get own drinks from outside bar or in the Muddy Boot pub inside. Drinks prices are a bit on the steep side but a great choice of wines beers and cocktails. Staff mostly friendly but I wouldn’t say they were above and beyond in terms of the service. We ate in the brasserie both night and enjoyed what we had but highlight was the excellent breakfast. Location is fantastic being right on the banks of Lake Windermere and next to the ferry pier which takes you to Bowness although this ends around 6pm so there’s not much choice of alternative places to eat in the immediate area unless you want to drive out. Overall an enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend."
