We enjoyed our stay here.

Our stay here was good. The staff are really lovely especially Lisa who checked us in. The free parking was good and plenty of spaces.The room was adequate and had everything we needed. The towels were lovely and big! The shower power was great and the hairdryer was a good one not a cheap one. The restaurant and bar area were inviting and the food was lovely. We had breakfast aswell which was good. We did hear dogs barking late at night and early in the morning, apart from that we enjoyed our stay here.

Ok hotel, fab staff

The staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The room was virtually clean although there were a few small marks on the bed linnen and the usb charging socket didnt work. Only 3 plug sockets in the entire room and they were too close to the dresser service that a normal usb plug wouldnt fit in. Bed was comfey and bathroom clean with a lovely deep bath and powerful shower. Bath dripped all night annoyingly. I ordered bar food and had the breakfast and both were underwhelming. Despite it not quite being great value for money,the staff made the trip and I would definitely go back again.

A great stay

Excellent location and the hotel had a bright modern feel inside. Very clean and modern bedroom, great (free) wifi, good tea/coffee making facilities and a comfy bed. Plenty of parking also. Plus a fantastic beer served at the bar called 'Meantime'... worth a try.

Outstanding

Excellent... Good happy greetings when we arrived. The bed was amazing, best sleep for ages. Ate in the evening, no gammon or curry so had to have soup. But, the soup wasn't what i expected from a veg soup, totally brilliant. This is not the first we have stayed at Appleby Park and it wont be the last.
