Three Shires Inn

A truly beautiful pub hotel. Great friendly team, beautiful rooms, good food and real fire. Off road parking. Nothing to complain about at all. We will be back.

Having explored the Lake District, as a hiker, biker and climber since my early 20s, I mistakenly thought that I knew all the great places to visit. I’ve ridden, hiked and driven past this beautiful country Inn, so many times over the years, and always thought “that looks quite nice.” As a writer though, I now have to confess that that would be an understatement. It’s a bit like saying that Wordsworth could pen a nice a poem - for in truth, the Three Shires Inn is probably one of the nicest country Inns that you’re ever likely to encounter. And, dare I say, having travelled the length of breadth of Europe, it’s a place that compares with anything elsewhere. The rooms are super, of the highest quality, and so very comfortable. The staff are welcoming, friendly, informative and professional. The food is delicious and simply perfect, and it all fits neatly into a truly beautiful part of the Lake District National Park. Whether you choose to hike or to bike, there are endless options from the door, allowing you to park up for a few days and forget about the chaotic world elsewhere. Yes, the Three Shires Inn is food for the soul, and should be on the bucket list of every lover of the sublime Lake District fells.

This hotel is a favourite place we return to for a much needed break in hectic lives. The staff , rooms and food are fantastic - local produce used to perfection to create a delicious menu, and fabulous breakfast! This is a high class but down to earth place to stay, prices are extremely reasonable for an all inclusive break. Run by a great manager, it can't go wrong!
