Wonderful place to stop while hiking the coast to coast trail. Didn't realize you had to walk around the building to check in just off the parking lot, since we didn't arrive by car. Steph was so welcoming and did a load of wash for us for a small donation in their cup on the bar. A fire alarm went off at 450 am bolting us out of bed. Turned out to be nothing but I think I remember reading about this happening before in someone's write up. Dinner and breakfast was good!

Lovely hotel close to motorway
Lovely hotel not too far away from the M6. Bed was really comfortable and bedding really nice. Food was nice and service good only problem was the numerous flies in the dining room. Breakfast was really nice and freshly cooked to order. Bacon was amazing! All the staff are really pleasant and helpful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub is very clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, ideal for a stopover on a long journey, ideal for walkers. The food was good pub fare. Ideal location, easy to get to the major routes north and south.

Restaurant closes early.
We booked this hotel at short notice (day before) since we were travelling north and needed a stop over where we could get something to eat. When we called we were told that the restaurant was closing between 8.30pm and 9pm though couldn’t confirm when. When we asked if we could come in at 8.30pm (still travelling at this point) they then said that it would close at 8pm! We had to stop at a KFC services to eat before arriving. When we arrived we went to the bar but left earlier than we intended because there were three very drunk men swearing very loudly and continuously. Staff did nothing but serve them and allow them to continue. One of them men even went around the bar area asking other residents if they were catholics or Protestants! All very uncomfortable. After retreating to our room and asleep we heard a commotion downstairs for some time. All in all an unpleasant stay.

Only one used toilet roll in room on arrival, looked as if housekeeping had only made up the bed , room didn't look as if it ha been cleaned after last guests, no hairdryer in room,bare magnolia walls,couldn't get TV to work management were not very helpful to ty and fix problem. Very disappointed as we could have used hotel as a stopover on our journeys home from Wales.

Very average
This hotel is ideal for walkers who want a clean bed and some good pub grub for the night. We were a last minute booking and not walkers. Our room was in need of refurbishment. There was a problem with the shower ie no hot water which I did notify the staff of. The staff were very pleasant but the place obviously had a problem getting staff eg. The lovely guy who was serving us was also the barman, waiter, dealing with residents booking in clearing tables in what looked like a very busy evening.

Disappointing stay at the Greyhound Inn
We arrived a bit late in the evening (we had let them know in advance). We had to wait a while to check in, as they were dealing with another customer who had an issue with his bill. It would have been nice if one of them could have helped us check in while the other took care of the other customer, as it was late and we had just driven a long way. When we got into our room, we had to kill several bugs. They apparently came in through the open window, which we then closed. Unfortunately, the small room was then incredibly hot and stuffy. There was no airflow at all. The hallway outside the room was about 10 degrees cooler than inside the room. There were also small spots of stain on some of the sheets and towels. The bathroom itself was clean, though. None of us slept well, mostly due to the room temperature and stuffiness. On the positive side, there was a good selection of continental breakfast items and made-to-order hot items, including vegan and vegetarian options, which we appreciated. Also, the staff members were all very nice and did their best to be helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, due to the issues in the room, I would not stay there again.

Old pub hotel with much character, very nice comfortable room. We had dinner in the bar which was very good. Bar had a real fire and real ale, very nice. Breakfast the next day was very good with many cooked options. Very good value overall.

Spur of the moment booking & we found this little gem! Have used booking sites before & occasionally a place shows up thats a real nugget. This was one of them. Exceptionally clean & well kept, well appointed rooms & fittings. Good choice of well kept real ales . Excellent well cooked substantial breakfast.

Shap's hidden treasure ?
Welcoming, helpful and pleasant staff helped make this overnight stop more than that. It's a lovely, characterful hotel and well appointed with all that was required . The room was excellent and vey clean and comfortable.The food was excellent. We were happy to see a busy dining room with many locals which is always a good sign, The Greyhound did not disappoint and is worth the couple miles off the M6 to find. Thanks , we shall be back !
