Convenient, central location. Ideal for my Settle and Carlisle Railway trip and for buses to Lake District. Staff friendly and helpful from moment I arrived. Really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Room was very spacious for a solo traveller. Bathroom was sparkling and well equipped. Shower very easy to operate. Excellent breakfast and dinner.

Nothing really, except steep stairs up to my first floor room were a bit challenging but only because I have a knee problem. Staff carried my case up and down the stairs without me even having to ask. Coffee making facilities very basic and no biscuits!

I didn't stay at the Crown & Cushion but at one of their cottages called the Mews which is a short distance from the pub/hotel. It was immaculate and appears to have had a recent renovation/refurb. The apartment is perfect for one or a couple and if you're a biker, you can park your bike right outside the cottage (off the road). It was self-contained and all the equipment, including towels etc. appeared to be brand new. There is a Co-op almost opposite which is perfect for getting food stuffs in etc. and if you want to go into the centre of the town for a pub visit, it's literally a couple of minutes walk...

This is not a criticism of the property so not directed at them but if you are troubled by noise then be aware there is a bit of a stomper living in the rented apartment upstairs. The thud, thud, thud across the ceiling was troublesome for me, especially as whoever lives there is an early riser. Earplugs would be an option for anyone who finds noise like this an issue. And the only other negative would be the bed - I suspect new mattresses would make it a lot more comfortable.

We stayed across the square from the inn, in the apartment. The decor was fresh, modern and furniture homely. The kitchen was well-equipped. We loved the remote controlled blackout blinds. The TV in the living room was huge, and the sofa very comfy.

There was no plug in reach of the mirror for using the hairdryer in the main room. The extractor fan in the bathroom did not work, meaning a lot of condensation after 4 showers. And unfortunately the noise from the next door pub was clearly audible through the front door even when closed. ( on a positive, ear plugs were supplied in each bedroom, but the noise died down after 11pm)

Pretty town, friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere, great dinner & breakfast options. Large, comfy room with a lovely view of the churchyard.

The room was above the pub and it was noisy until the pub closed. It wasn't an issue for me as it was quiet by 10.45pm. The church bells...as nice as they are, they do go every 15 mins! They should be programmed to stop ringing during the night. However, this would not put me off staying again. I was a solo female tourist & the staff were very kind & welcoming which far outweighed a bit of excess noise!

The property was spacious and had a very good shower. Convenient for the CO-OP across the road. A parking permit was provided for 3 hours of parking on the road outside during the day at peak times although a different location nearby was suggested for all day free parking. The property was warm with good storage space in the bedroom and the bed was comfortable although the pillows were very high and hard.

Apart from a few tea, coffee, sugar and 3 tiny milk sachets there was no welcome pack. The apartment was not 100m from the pub but at least 300m. The road immediately outside was quite busy and noisy at times. The lounge window faced the pavement and there was little privacy unless the blinds were closed.

Fantastic Modern 2 Bed Apartment in the centre of the lovely village of Appleby. We were able to park FOC right outside the door in the centre of the village which had lots of local shops. We had a couple of drinks at the Crown and Cushion and then had breakfast there the following morning. We didn't have too much time to explore the village as we were at a wedding at Holefoot but we all agreed that Cushion Bank was a fantastic place to stay and we look forward to a repeat visit.

We stayed in the Crown Cottage which belongs to the Inn. A recently updated cottage just a few minutes walk from the pub. The cottage was excellent in all respects and really made our stay in Appleby. The cottage is well presented, spotlessly clean with all your home comforts. A real home from home. We ate our meals in the Crown and Cushion, which has a good menu. Staff were brilliant and attentive, even though it was really busy. We can certainly recommend the property to you. You will not be disappointed.

The value for a family of five in the two bedroom suite was amazing. The staff were super lovely and attentive making our stay so pleasant and we felt so welcomed. The quality of the furnishings, bedding and bathroom were superb and the village is beautiful. We were just passing through and have vowed that we will return and stay here for a few nights. Breakfast was freshly cooked and even the coffee was good. Seriously, book this place and you won’t regret it.

Headboard fixings were loose on wall so headboard would fall down but that is our only issue and therefore there was nothing we did not like about this inn.

Extremely friendly and warm welcome. Our room was in the loft, which was a wonderful space, with a huge bathroom and a small kitchen and dining area for our use. There was so much room for storage which we didn’t take advantage of as we were only staying one night. We joined the locals in the bar for a drink and they were also welcoming. Lovely pub in the picturesque Appleby in Westmorland. We arrived later in the evening, it was a stopover on our way to Scotland. We parked directly outside using a disc given to us by the pub, because we left before 10.00am the next day, parking was free. Breakfast was delicious, particularly the local butchers sausage ring. This was a fabulous find, so much so , we are going to make a special trip back to explore Appleby and The Eden Valley.

Everything was fantastic! It was an incredible way to end our trip coming back from Edinburgh. We stayed in the two bedroom suite which was at the top of the property. It had everything we were looking for - big comfortable beds, a clean bathroom and a dining area with a couch. We were fortunate enough to find a parking spot directly outside of the property and when we checked in after 6:30pm, we were given parking discs which allowed us to park for free for two hours from 8:00am-10:00am. We read the reviews and made reservations for dinner at 7:30pm. The food came out rather quickly and everyone was stunned by how good everything was. With a group of 5 people, we tried the soup of the day, fish and chips, steak and ale pie, chicken tikka kebab, and a chicken and veg balti. The quality and quantity of food was superb. Each of us raved about how good our food was. In the past two and a half years of living in England, this was the best dining experience we have had. Absolutely superb service. Breakfast was included and it was also great. Our son has a gluten and sunflower allergy and the kitchen was extremely accommodating, cooking his food after cleaning to avoid cross contamination. To top it off, the property is located at a very charming and walkable town with a castle just a nine minute walk away. Overall we would highly recommend anyone to stay at this location. Excellent customer service by all the staff!

There was a lack of hot water after two other guests showered around 11pm. The shower was lukewarm but at least it was not freezing. No other issues.
