Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa, Appleby in Westmorland

Stayed 8th September 2021

The food in both the Bistro and Restaurant was excellent, the best we’ve ever had in a hotel. The staff were very polite but could do with a lot more training as their experience didn’t match the standard of the food.

What a wonderful place-staff excellent and food first class.

Stayed 26th August 2021

What a stunning place to place, the hotel surroundings and all the staff were excellent. From the minute we arrived we were warmly welcomed and given a tour o the facilities. The staff were so friendly and accomodating, the second day they remembered each of us from the first day which was special. The views and surroundings were beautiful and the Spa facilities are the best we have experienced. We have agreed to make Appleby Manor Hotel a yearly trip, can not wait to come back next year.

We had a fabulous stay , Hotel surrounds, spa , food & staff great . Slight disappointment in room which I think was a classic room in the coach house building . I am not sure if this advertises as being refurbished but didn’t appear to be . On entering the room it did have a stale smell , we put this down to hotel rooms not being used for so long due to Covid . We did not report this just opened the window as often as we could but this was open on to a noisy road so not good to do at night . Also the shower on first night was not great , the water cut out from shower and bath taps for a good 5 mins ( bit inconvenient as I had a head covered in shampoo) I did report this . This did not spoil our visit though as the hotel , surrounds, food & staff lovely . I would like to return but to a better room . The deal we had was good value . Db&b both nights , spa for 2 hrs , free tail, mini gin in room and appetisers , nibbles served before dinner in restaurant .

The Hotel is set in a beautiful location. The hotel is advertised as a 4star. The room could at best be classed as 2 star. We had to ask for the curtains to be changes as they were falling off and didn't fit the window. We also asked for the 2 tub chairs to be removed as they were absolutely filthy. Room 11 is at the top of the main house and is in desperate need of an update. The shower is a dirty cream colour that has faded beyond recovery, also some of the oldest fixtures and fittings I've seen in years. The rest of the hotel especially in the main house is lovely if tired in places. The redeeming feature is the staff and the food. Both were amazing.

Room 25 was dark, noisey from the road, problems with flushing wc and running cold water into the wash basin, and in need of updating. Wouldn’t stay in the Coach House again

This was a great value break and we had a very good room in the courtyard.Ground floor rooms are quite a bit quieter at night than upstairs. Everything was spotless and COVID-19 restrictions were well adhered to.The food in both restaurant and bistro were enjoyable.

From start to end this was one of the best hotels we have stayed in with the spa being outstanding. Our deal gave us 2 hours in there, which was just heaven, and I would definitely recommend using it. The staff were so friendly and couldnt do enough for us and the food was so tasty. We were very sad to leave

Stayed 8th June 2021

We had a garden room which was comfortable, light and airy. We particularly enjoyed having the use of a terrace. The staff were all very pleasant but rather scarce in the bar. A special mention to Sarah who was extremely helpful. We ate in the restaurant on our first night and really enjoyed our meal. We did not enjoy the meal we had in the Bistro as much.

On arrival they had messed up our restaurant and bistro bookings, took about 15 minutes to resolve, they allowed us to check in early 2pm as room was ready. Room no 4, I was totally underwhelmed. The toilet was so close to the bath using it was a challenge. There was a jacuzzi bath and TV in the bath, couldn't turn volume down on TV, asked reception to assist, the next day they gave us remote back and still couldn't turn volume down so therefore couldn't use the TV as it was set so loud. No WiFi, both of our phones stated signal strength excellent but no internet connection for some reason. We didn't report this as we just decided to use our data. Dinner in the restaurant was good although the pork belly starter just tasted like deep fried pork, greasy and lacking flavour. All other dishes were nice. We ordered dessert, £18 for 2 desserts was steep in my opinion, especially considering the cheesecake consisted of 3 tiny pieces of cheesecake. The bar drinks were priced what we would expect but I prefer if I am paying for a glass bottle mixer that I receive the bottle to mix myself. My husband's was flat one evening making me suious it wasn't a freshly opened bottle. Breakfast was not nice, full English was not toour tastes stall. Tasteless black pudding, fatty greasy bacon and the scrambled eggs tasted gritty like they had sand in them. Second morning my husband had pancakes and I had sausage and poached eggs which was better. The tiny glasses of juice at breakfast were a joke, 2 sips and they were finished meaning additional trips to collect more. The bistro meal was ok, prawn tail starters, can't really go wrong and beef goulash had very little beef and lots of potato, chicken curry had plenty of chicken although it was dry and chewy, clearly reheated don't very enjoyable. The spa was wonderful and I believe this is the sole reason the hotel has A4 star rating. The 2 outdoor hot tubs did not have much pressure in the jets but apart from that everything else about the spa was great
