The quality of food at dinner could be improved

Very clean and very cozy. Staff was very helpful and nice! Breathtakingly beautiful location.

The road out was very narrow, but we just looked at it as an adventure!

The views are beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable. We loved it!

The food although tasty was quite pricey for what it was, but I guess that is the Lake District thing.

Great location for walking in the lakes. The staff were very friendly and helpful particularly Jordan and Mr Everton (didn’t get his name). Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Carpet in suite must have had a flood as it was still damp

Gorgeous location and really helpful staff. Food was exceptional and great value for money. A short drive to Ambleside so best of both worlds

What a fantastic little hotel in the most beautiful of locations. The hotel itself is really well presented, our bedroom furnished to a very high standard, with an excellent shower. We ate in the restaurant one evening and it was very good, with the staff providing great service. Good breakfast too. The weather was good for us, so we enjoyed the sun-trap beer garden both afternoons. I'd recommend 2 short walks from the hotel. Firstly across Slaters Bridge to the Cathedral Cave (which was a delightful surprise). Secondly, the path over the hill to the small village of Elterwater, where there is another lovely beer garden in the Eltermere Inn. Overall, a great little short break.

Nothing to dislike about the pub. But, the drive to the pub was a little hairy, off the beaten track and some single track roads.

Lovely country pub Attentive staff Excellent food Very comfortable beds and pillows Quiet location Closed the bar at 10pm, which initially we were abit irritated about, but in hindsight was a good thing.

Poor WiFi but that wasn’t a big problem! There was extensive building work going on next door that we were not informed about! Started early and finished late afternoon! We were out lots so again wasn’t a big problem but it would have been if we were!

Very comfortable and clean dog friendly annex! Perfect location and exceptional views.

Certain Parking slots for residents were too narrow and can't get out once you parked the car. Room service (dinner) I asked for was Fish & chips and batter was too thick for my liking and I didn't sit at the pub or ordered any drinks. But the atmosphere seems nice.

Small cosy place. Staff was excellent and really helpful. Checked in little late, tired after long drive. Reception was happily letting me to order dinner (room service) before kitchen closed, sleeping quality was great with no noise from other rooms. Bedroom was perfect for me and cleaning quality was excellent. Credit to Housekeeping and morning breakfast asked for Avacado on Toast and a good portion and yummy.

For info: Be careful on the drive to the hotel as the roads are very narrow for the last 1000 yards ish. Do not speed as you will hit something. The DBB option includes £25.00 per person per evening meal. There were only a few options under this price, which could be extended. Everything else (main courses) on the menu was more than £25.00.

We loved everything. Lovely room (deluxe suite). The shower was one of the best ever, massive. A cracking location out of the way. Great base for walks in the area. A special mention to George, Katy, and Chris the Chef, excellent service, and they are nice, normal, decent folk to talk with. I forgot the name of the other young fella, so our apologies. The food was really lush, and the breakfasts were plentiful. Lamb the first night, Game pie the second. My missus had the salmon first night and burger the second and was well impressed. It is also a nice short walk (about 30 mins ish) over the hill to the Eltermere Inn, then onward (3 mins) to the Britannia Inn. Another 5 mins walk would take you to Wainwrights in Chapel Stile. It is a nice short drive to Coniston, Ambleside/Grasmere and Hawkeshead if you want to drive somewhere close by. 10/10, well recommended, thank you.

I thought the breakfast was a bit expensive if you would only have wanted some yogurt and fruit which is all I generally choose in the mornings.

Really comfy bed. Bathroom was a really good size and the shower worked well and was intuitive to use (no engineering degree needed to work it). I was particularly glad to be supplied with a teapot and a variety of decaff and caffeinated drinks options. Beautiful views of the valley from my window and great walking from the door. Lounge had a good variety of walking books to browse.

The bed was rather hard and a bit uncomfortable.

The bedroom and bathroom were very tastefully decorated. Outside space was wonderful.

It’s not a dislike or negative as we were aware before hand and knew what to expect, future visitors take note the road approaching is very narrow so take extra time and care

What is not to love about the Three Shires Inn, stunning setting, brilliant trams, really comfortable and clean rooms and delicious meals, not to forget the great walks and stunning scenery on the doorstep, congrats to the team on this excellent welcome

Lovely spacious room with beautiful view. Food was excellent, especially the "Swimmers Pastries" which were much appreciated.

Even though it was June, the room was quite cold when we arrived - no central heating working but there were a couple of electric radiators available which did the job. Could really do with some sort of curtain for the front door though. No TV available until I fathomed out it was Internet tv (iplayer, itvx etc) and it needed connecting to the WiFi. The WiFi signal was only available right at the front door on my phone though - it could do with a booster because it was fine in the main building.

We stayed in a self contained annexe across from the main building so it was very quiet and secluded. Limited food menu for the evening meal but excellent quality food - we didn't stay for breakfast.
