Shap Wells Hotel

Shap Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We love staying at the Shap Wells Hotel, tucked away in the folding hills of moorland, yet not far from the M6. This is a beautiful old hotel, with lots of history and it has that patina of age.., Nothing is super modern, or perfect which is wonderful, it means it still has all of its character, the wood panelling, the grandfather clock on the stairs, the super large dining room. Truly unique..!"

Redworth Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and tidy, however when we stayed last year we had bottles of water in our room but this was not the case this time, I brought my own last year but didn't this year as I thought that bottles of water would be in our room. I also requested an extra pillow as the 2 pillows I had were flat, reception made a note of this but the pillow never arrived. Staff were all very welcoming, helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was lovely with a variety of breakfast choices available. the staff were also very lovely. We enjoyed the spa it was busy at times and found the morning was less busy. The staff were helpful and very pleasant. There were games to play on the lawn which we took advantage of especially mini golf. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay at Redworth Hall Hotel."
