Highly recommend

All staff were very friendly. The staff we had to interact with were efficient and polite. We had a family room and it was lovely, clean and the beds were very comfortable. We also ate at the restaurant for dinner & breakfast the following morning. All was lovely, dinner was particularly tasty.

We have stayed here previously for a festival and found the food really tasty with incredibly generous portions, lovely friendly staff and nice rooms for a great price which was the reason we chose again this year. Unfortunately, we are not sure if we can stay again next year as hoped as the price has jumped up by almost £100 for the same weekend.

Room was recently refurbished and very clean. The bed was comfortable but the room was quite hot on our first night, with no Aircon or fan to cool it down. The hotel communal areas are a little dated but clean. The staff were great and breakfast is a nice addition. Location is also great, just a few mins from the M42.

We attended the Appleby Inn for our daughters wedding, because of this we arrived and left at unsociable hours. The instructions for doing this was made very clear. All of the staff went the extra mile to accommodate us and really made us feel nothing was too much trouble. We also dined in the restaurant and the food was very filling and very tasty. The whole experience was great service and a great price, Thank you.

The Appleby Inn was ideal accommodation for us, as we had a quiet ground floor room with parking outside our room. During our 3 night stay our breakfast and evening meals at the hotel were enjoyed. We would happily return to utilise this hotel on any future visit to the area.

Friendly welcome

This is our 4th visit and once again the hotel was great. We checked in on line and collected our key and the lady at reception was so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was really good as always. For the price you really can’t complain. We will definitely be back again.
