What a Place! Shepards Hut Rocks!

clean hut great facilities friendly staff

Bluebell Shepards Hut was the best! It was so clean. It offered great facilities. The food was amazing and some beers were awesome too. The staff helped with everything. They even helped with the best way out when it snowed!

The room smelt moldy. The door felt very insecure. I had to put a chair in front of that door.

Lakeland Pub Stay

friendly staff clean room

I found the staff very friendly and nice. My room was clean and cosy. The bed was comfortable, with a nice tv and decoration. Lots of parking spaces were available, and it was easy to walk to one of the lakes!!!

The bathroom layout didn't allow enough room to navigate around the sink basin to use the toilet. The shower door kept banging on the sink basin when getting in and out of the shower. Decor in my room was outdated. Some areas were dusty.

Facilities

The parking area has ample space for many vehicles. The hotel is pet-friendly, so guests can bring their dogs. There is a restaurant on site. It offers both dinner and breakfast. The location is near several walking trails.

adequate stay with some drawbacks

small room flat pillows

the size of the room was disappointing. it was smaller than expected and felt cramped. the bed, a standard double, was not very comfortable. the pillows were quite flat and did not provide much support, so i woke up with a stiff neck.
