"We love staying at the Shap Wells Hotel, tucked away in the folding hills of moorland, yet not far from the M6. This is a beautiful old hotel, with lots of history and it has that patina of age.., Nothing is super modern, or perfect which is wonderful, it means it still has all of its character, the wood panelling, the grandfather clock on the stairs, the super large dining room. Truly unique..!"
