I would normally give this hotel 5* but there were some niggly bits that just pushed it down. WiFi is just about usable....constantly dropping out with very poor signal. Some people may think this is not an issue but if you are staying while working a stable WiFi connection is everyday expectation. My room was more than adequate however squeezing a toilet between a jacuzzi bath and a wall just does not cut it with me. Dispense of the bath as in this day and age of Legionella awareness they are not that inviting. Shower was very slow and erratic.Food was excellent and the staff friendly and professional. One small issue was the plate at breakfast was so hot it gave me a sun tan.

Really disappointing for the price. The only positive was that the staff were all nice and reasonably attentive.Bought a spa break package. Had to pay extra to upgrade to the garden room and use at the weekend. Included dinner, bed, breakfast, spa use and one treatment. Over £600 all in.Garden room was old and tired. Mattress horrendously cheap and uncomfortable- amazing what even a decent mattress topper could do.Food was average. Steak cooked in a microwave by the texture and lack of crust on it.Spa was ok - very small and nowhere to just lay and relax. Treatments were average at best.Not recommended

This was our second stay at Appleby Manor and it was even better than last time. We booked for three nights along with breakfast. We had the four course meal on the Saturday evening in the restaurant and the service and food were exceptional. Absolutely faultless. We then ate in the bistro Sunday night which was equally as good! Breakfast was delicious daily with plenty of options. The staff really make Appleby manor and we cannot wait to be back again!

Such an amazing experience, we did the spring break package and loved every single moment of it. The staff are friendly and attentive and will help with any problem, truly making this a luxury experience.The food from both the bistro and the fine dining restaurant was impeccable and the portions were great. The manor itself has a lovely warmth and grand feeling. It is about 30 mins walk to Appleby castle and town centre which has a lovely bakery. The spa was great, clean and has a nice range of saunas of different temperatures. Cannot recommend it enough!

Beautiful location with stunning views. Good menu choices. I'm a pescatarian. Great spa facilities, not a big place but plenty room for everyone. Everywhere clean and well maintained.Nearby activities: Ten minute drive to Penrith which is a lovely shopping town.

Stayed here a number of times over the past 10 years and always really impressed with it. Great food, attentive staff and a lovely spa, all within a short distance to walks and attractions. Will be back for sure.

This review relates just to the afternoon tea.I couldn't help to be disappointed as I booked for this afternoon tea a couple months ago, all was good and checked a few days before if all in place and was told yes. I mentioned when making reservation that I was pregnant to see if it would be ok to with the food restrictions and was told yes, all will be adjusted. When arriving staff did not know about our booking and although I mentioned again I am pregnant (also obvious as almost 9 months), food was not adjusted, including a few itens i couldnt have. I was told maybe i could have a soft drink instead ( later an extra piece of cake was brought).I expected more attention to details from a 4 star hotel.That being said the scone, biscuit and sausage roll were home made and delicious. Sandwiches didn't feel freshly made (some were dry) and had too much butter in my opinion ( dont think a cream cheese and cucumber Sandwich should have butter).

The hotel is lovely stayed for 3 weeks on a business trip. The location is good for walks with good views. The rooms are nice and are very clean. the food and drinks are good and prices are not bad which is always great! the hospitality and staff at the Appleby are absolutely fantastic! We were served most nights by David, who is an absolute gentleman his hospital is something a lot of hotels can do with these days. Another person that shouldn't go unnoticed is Helen, who was so lovely when I got myself in a spot of bother she was extremely helpful and professional.

Absolutely lovely place, great service, room was fabulous, spa was relaxing and so magical in the snow. Only thing that let it down was the breakfast. The sausage bacon & egg were anaemic and undercooked.Rooms: Absolutely beautiful & spotless. Worth the extra for the Spa Bath. The old mixed with the new ??Safety: Safe, quiet and relaxing in luxury ??Food & drinks: Breakfast lets it down, however the staff make up for it absolutely nothing is a problem
