Three Shires Inn

A truly beautiful pub hotel. Great friendly team, beautiful rooms, good food and real fire. Off road parking. Nothing to complain about at all. We will be back.

With help from the Manageress Julie we arranged an extra night had to change rooms without any fuss, just left our bags went out for the day on return our new room and baggage where there all neat and tidy Both rooms nice clean and tidy with great views. Food was excellent Moroccan lamb superb. Staff attention was excellant at all times

Stunning views from the beer garden and our room (the front rooms look over Little Langdale), great food and friendly staff. Our room, Black Sails, was cute, clean and comfortable with a lovely new bathroom and powerful shower over bath. Easy to sleep, very peaceful on an evening. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Julie was just brilliant; she never stopped and even got our electric car plugged in (an added bonus, that you can charge an EV there). Breakfast and dinner were a real treat. Our favourites were the smoked duck starter, also the soufflé and steak and ale pie. With so many lovely walks-from-the-door, we definitely recommend and look forward to returning!

Just had a pint whilst on a bike ride, Derek the barman was awesome - very friendly and funny, made us feel really welcome. Well done Derek, we'll def come back, good at your job, attentive and a good crack. The outside seating was great, lots of choice, great views and a good selection of beers. Excellent

The staff here can’t do enough for you. Lovely, clean and friendly place. The food is great too. We broke down at the top of a mountain in the middle of a storm en-route to the hotel, a passer by took us to the hotel and they were absolutely amazing ensuring we were warm and safe until we could get help. We were humbled by how great they were.

We booked Three Shires Inn last minute for Easter weekend. It was a great experience from start to finish. We arrived early to get a walk in before check in and we asked if it was ok to park on the car park, we were given a parking pass straight away and it was not a problem at all, staff very friendly. After our walk we checked in with Julie and all ready & easy . Room was lovely, spotlessly clean, toiletries provided which were really nice, tea & coffee and hairdryer. View from room was amazing we had the Little Fell room. After we had unpacked we went to the bar for a drink and went to the residents lounge where Julie lit the fire for us straight away, it was so cosy and comfortable we could have stayed there all night. Dinner was already booked for us, a great idea, and the food was lovely. Agree with some reviews that there could be more choice but the service and food were both excellent on both nights we stayed. Breakfast was equally good with a good choice of cereals, yog, fruit etc then a breakfast menu with plenty of choice. I highly recommend a stay at the Three Shires, its a hidden gem and the staff make the stay welcoming and comfortable. Special mention to Julie and Gary who were superstars! we will definitely be returning and recommending to all our friends

What a lovely evening meal at the Three Shires! We sampled 4 different main courses between us and all were excellent. Clean plates all round! Desserts were lovely too, and the children’s meals were of much better quality than those found in most places. Staff were very attentive, and a special shout-out for the bar staff who looked after us so well. We’ll be back soon

Called in for lunch whilst on Langdale/Elterwater circuit, quite a limited menu, ate v good pie and drank an excellent pint of Coniston ale, only negative was that they didn’t offer mash with the pie, just chips which was a shame. Thanks, will visit again.

Probably the best hotel we've ever stayed in and both of us have travelled a lot. This was an anniversary trip and we couldn't have picked a more special hotel and location. Really comfy room, warm amazing bathroom and fabulous food. Breakfast included was superb. We would both like to thank the friendly owners for such a lovely stay and highly recommend the Three Shires. We'll definitely be back!
