The property was superb and went way beyond my expectations. Extremely comfortable, clean and superb shower facilities. Loved it. Close to Co-op for essential food supplies. Thank you for the tea and coffee supplies - very welcome as well.

Loved the view from the garden when sitting under the pagoda, loved the attic bedroom, and having my own car parking space. The location is great as well because you are only a 40 minute drive from either the pennines or the lake district.

We were on our way from Devon to Glasgow, and wanted somewhere not too far off the M6 to break the journey up for a night. We honestly couldn't have picked anywhere better than The Greyhound in Shap. Just a few minutes off the motorway, but it feels so tranquil and rural, you'd never think you were so close to a major route. Excellent as a base for the Lake District, but far enough out of the busiest tourist spots to offer great value. Such a lovely little hotel with a proper pub/restaurant downstairs, serving great food and beer. Our room was small but perfectly-formed, with a super comfortable bed. We will definitely use this place again if we're up in the area again. Highly recommended.

We stayed only 1 night and ate at the hotel, but it might be worth driving 4 miles to Alston if staying more than 1 night. The food was OK, but a little pricey.
I would definitely consider staying there again to break our journey from the Midlands to Scotland.

Location is just off motorway.
Location is just off motorway. Website states 2 restaurants and bar selling food until 10pm, this is not the case. Only 1 restaurant with limited choice and very basic food with vegetables and potatoes undercooked. Rooms are in need of refurbishment and lift and restaurant needed a clean. Food on the floor at our table from breakfast sitting. Wine is expensive for what it was. Receptionist and bar person were lovely but manager was rude and abrupt.

It was very peaceful location.
It was very peaceful location. Not far from M6 so ideal for a stop over or if staying in Lakes great for going off to spend the day out. Even better being able to come back to the peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of the busy towns in the Lake District. Food was great so get a half board stay as really good value for money. Lovely places to walk through their own woods and see the delightful red squirrels that are resident there. Get free food for them from reception

Biscuits in the room would of been the icing on the cake, to be honest we've never stayed in a hotel where biscuits were not provided in the room. Bit petty but we love a biscuit with our early morning bedroom coffee.
As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the lovely owners. They were so welcoming a kind to us. Our room was Beautiful with a lovely walk in shower and bath. The bed was so comfy and spacious. There was a generous selection of different hot drinks in the room with some lovely shortbread too. Our Breakfast was wonderful where again the staff were so attentive. I will most definitely be staying at The Greyhound Hotel again.
Thank you so much
The Shap Wells Hotel was the worst Hotel my wife and I, have ever stayed in, the room was filthy. The On Duty Manager was arrogant, condescending and had no Management / Customer Relation Skills, no hot breakfast, no WIFI, this place failed in every respect in the contract between the customer and the Hotel. The best part about this Hotel, was leaving it.
The greyhound has a flood in the kitchen so the owner called me and asked if I was okay to change to a sister hotel the queens head in in tirril. Followed up in the evening asking if we wanted to eat. Excellent customer service.
Cost old pub with 7 rooms. Ours was perfect. Comfy bed, lovely furnishings, tea, coffee etc
Excellent hotel. Friendly helpful staff with top-notch customer service skills.
Good sized and very clean en suite rooms.
Breakfast & evening meals were 10/10.
All in all an enjoyable stay and we felt at ease during all of our 3 night stay.
Would highly recommend. Iain & lesley (Evesham worcestershire)
Very nice studio with good en-suite bathroom in a very good location. This is a barn conversion just off the main street of Shap, a village with a co-op shop near the accommodation and a chippy equally close by. The studio is on the ground floor and has parking outside the door.
Beautiful cottage, very comfortable bed and great value for money. Loved the fact that they are dog friendly and that our furry family members were able to come with us! Shap Abbey is very close by and worth having a walk around if you want to take your dogs for a walk nearby.
Lovely hotel and friendly staff. Rooms were clean, the bar offered excellent meals and the breakfast was fantastic. Car parking at the back was a bonus. Really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend staying here or having an evening meal.
Everything, really. It has an old world air, but that's no bad thing. We sat in the lounge areas, fully expecting Phileas Fogg to burst in, claiming he had won his wager.
The bed was big and comfy, and the landscape around the hotel was very scenic.
Really lovely hotel with a pub downstairs. The hotel itself was more than accommodating with lovely staff the room was comfortable and really good value. I'd recommend the pub for dinner as we had a amazing meal! And was very reasonable priced.
Fabulous hotel in a great location in Shap on the A6. Staff were excellent & couldn’t have been more helpful. Secure overnight storage for push bike provided. Excellent breakfast to get us on our way in the morning. Highly recommended
The breakfast was well prepared, with a good selection of foods. The location of the Hotel was as expected and the traffic noise was acceptable as the A6 road used to be a main road into Scotland prior to the M6.
The surroundings are excellent. The hotel is situated right next to the fells, and there is a lovely short walk outside up past the rapids. It can be a bit boggy, but we survived without any fancy footwear.
All aspects of our one night in Shap were very satisfactory.A warm welcome,helpful advice.A very comfortable bed,good-sized bathroom and quiet! Breakfast was tremendous.
