Called on the last leg of a 3 week tour, hotel was conveniently located near the M6 and easy to find. We were well looked after from arrival to departure and nothing was too much trouble. We dined at the hotel and the food was excellent - would definitely recommend.

What a welcoming and friendly place. Everyone was so nice and we had a lovely stay. Our dog was welcomed and enjoyed the quiet surroundings and green areas nearby for a little walk at night.

We stayed for just one night during our visit to the Lake District. While the hotel itself was comfortable, there wasn't much to do nearby, which made it a bit challenging to keep the kids entertained. I was surprised to find that there was no TV in the room. While this wasn't a major issue, it would have been helpful to have some entertainment for the children since we didn't bring anything else with us. On a positive note, the breakfast was very good and definitely a highlight of our stay.

Unfortunately there was a 40th birthday party in the hotel which caused a lot of noise in the bar area. No television in the room - big miss especially for News in the morning. No coat hangers - only hooks. Towel rail in bathroom far too small. Breakfast although well presented was burnt. Overall, certainly not value for money at £140 per night.

Quaint and snug
Located in a very rural location but a stones throw from a NT property, this little gem is worth a short stay. Special shout out to the bathroom which was second to none. Only thing which threw me was the lack of TV in the room, but not a big deal, and the smallness of the room as there was not much space for a suitcase on the floor. But for a short stay it was perfect. Breakfast was perfection

It’s a cracking pub with rooms. Lovely welcome, friendly staff, spotlessly clean, huge and comfortable bed. All complimented by very good food. The proprietors know what they’re doing and do it very well. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly.

Amazing stay food lovely, room was out of this world big and spacious, massive bathroom with a bath which fill was perfect t fit my two babies, nothing to much trouble messaged and asked if they had a travel fit before arrival even gave us a good up single bed for one my babies. Only downside was no tv in the room was no big deal as had the babies tablets so they could watch cartoons . Breakfast was beautiful however normal sausage would of been preferred to smoked bacon and black pudding again not a major issue as opted not to have sausage, black pudding and haggis.

Brilliant stay in the Kings Arms, Temple Sowerby
Beautiful and charming nights stay in a room above the pub. Whilst it’s an olde worlde pub the rooms are very tastefully kitted out in a contemporary style. The Scottish manageress was absolutely delightful, engaging and made us feel so very welcome. The breakfast was delicious made from very good quality ingredients served by another delightful lady. We shall definitely return if ever in the area again.
