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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Honestly me and my fiancé had such a lovely stay at the hotel. The location is truly beautiful and peaceful we had a lovely view of the farm animals and the sleep was too good! We didnt expect the room to look so modern and we loved the bathroom cleanness 10/10. We live in London and we dont get to be around such a nature so this was truly one of the best experiences. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was lovely , just wish there was more of it 🤭

Maybe the parking could be a little bit bigger , because we were worried if we left to travel around the area we wouldnt have space left by the time we come back, but than again it made us stay in the location and just enjoy it more

The Three Shires Inn is in a perfect location. The silence, because of the lack of commotion and the beautiful countryside, is just one part of what makes this an amazing getaway. Let's start with the pub first. Great selection of ales (and other beverages). Ample of seating outside to bask in the rolling hills. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. We had a twin room, which was nicely decorated and overlooked stunning views. As for the new refurbed bathroom. The shower had powerful pressure. Fantastic ! The evening meal and the included breakfast were both excellent. You need to visit this place to visit during the day and of course to stay overnight. George is a great host and will make you feel cared for during your stay.

There was nothing not to like.

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.

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.

The room was exactly as expected and even had a great view even though we went for a cheaper room. The food was incredible, my partner has been a chef for over 15 years and she was blown away by the quality of the food. Very impressed. All the staff where very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful. We will be coming back

Everything was great. The only tiny thing that we would improve would be a room service option. BUT this isn't a hotel its a BnB / Pub so it wasn't really expected anyway.

Love the location of The Three Shires - it's in a beautiful peaceful setting. There's a lovely small beer garden with flowers and running water - and private parking for guests. The rooms are clean, comfortable and have great views. Bathrooms are modern, bright with plentiful hot water and good pressure. Quality of food at breakfast and dinner is high, and seating areas pleasant.

Dining times are quite restrictive, dinner bookings are essential and breakfast is limited to a one-hour window from 8.15-9.15. As noted before, the quality of food is excellent, but portion sizes are small and not inexpensive.

It is a little remote and road a bit narrow in places if passing another vehicle. Very comfortable stay and delicious food but the location didn’t suit us as just too far from nearest amenities. Must admit reading about Three Shires Inn didn’t really say that it was quite so remote. However we would recommend for walkers but we are not so somewhere nearer town centre would suit us better. We had a leak in our bedroom which was dealt with immediately and we were upgraded to the suite which was fantastic. Food and alcohol was on the expensive side but over all a very pleasant 2days.

Nothing to dislike about Inn.
